I find this interesting...

As some groups in the U.S. have lost confidence in the police, the rest of the population is IMHO, not far behind.

Most of the protesters regarding police over-reach have actually been white, and that segment is growing every day.

If 10% of the citizens wouldn’t accept it, and it would probably be many times that, that could be 30 million altercation. Many of them wouldn’t end well... It would be an impossible task for the government to confiscate guns.

Many of the gun owners are older and fought in our countries’ wars. Just saying...

Of course, I don’t have any guns.

I’ve been saying the same thing. There are 100 million gun owners. All it takes is a small % of them to say “no” while racking a shell or round into the chamber to create a situation that overwhelmes police.

And that assumes that the cops go along. I don’t think a lot of them do. Some will, but most will come down with the blue flu should the order go out. It’s one thing to take on a gang banger with a 9 or an AK, quite another to go up against a well motivated and angry country boy with a scoped hunting rifle. Look at CT earlier in the year when those confiscation letters went out. Sure, a couple bad cops got press for mouthing off, but the PDs were mainly calling the politicians a bunch of idiots and calling for calm and restraint.
