No.
Get a job.
Impossible?
Hold my chinese tea.
A more recent lesson can be found in Daniel Okrent’s “Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition”. The “dry” forces exploited public schools to push forth their anti alcohol ideals and allied themselves with even the KKK (who blamed alcohol consumption on Jews and Catholics). Yet the bootlegging and rum running and illegal stills continued and politicians and others responsible for enacting and enforcing Prohibition kept large private stashes of alcohol for themselves, adding to the hypocrisy. All of this contributed to the grand failure that Prohibition was.
Nobody is giving up their guns. It would be the biggest mistake ever made to try to confiscate guns.
Most Gun Grabbers are not that stupid to have law enforcement going door to door physically confiscating guns from people....LEO’s don’t make that much money to endanger their life to that extent......especially on any mass scale.
They will slowly and methodically shut down the gun industry and basically eliminate the supply of guns...
Re-establish the Assault Weapons Ban, that will eliminate the manufacture of entire classes of guns....
Ban the selling of guns and gun parts on the internet, how many companies will that destroy ??
Demand Banks stop doing business with gun and ammunition manufacturers
Require gun owners and manufacturers carry very expensive liability insurance...
Initiate one lawsuit after another against guns and ammo suppliers....
Some of these have already been tried with success...
Remington was sued by the parents of the children killed in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook, the rifle used was a Bushmaster manufactured by Remington....that case was allowed to proceed and resulted in a significant settlement against Remington....
Cabelas is facing a similar situation by supposedly selling .45 caliber ammunition to a 19-year which resulted in the accidental death of another 19-year old....
These are just 2 of a torrent of lawsuits in the future against anyone involved in the gun industry...
They don’t need to confiscate. If they end sales of ammo, gun powder, and primers, the problem solves itself in a few short years.
That’s not how it works:
You make things so complex, costly, and difficult that you ban guns without actually banning guns.
You expand gun free zones.
You let government agencies drag their feet when it comes to back ground checks.
You disqualify more people from owning guns because of metal issues, prior offenses, etc.
You make ammo more expensive.
You make some guns illegal because they look to scary: i.e. assault weapons.
You make federal law enforcement and the federal courts go after any sort of weapon offense more aggressively.
You push on gun shows, gun stores, etc. to make their life more difficult.
You raise all the fees associated with anything gun related.
You allow insane law suits where weapons manufacturers are targeted more credibility and hear them out in federal courts etc.
You make it more difficult to get a concealed carry by ratcheting up requirements.
You make it to where if you commit any offense you cannot have a weapon while in treatment, etc.
You close gun ranges on the grounds of safety or the environment.
There are a thousand more ways you can approach this. The way you get around the Second Amendment is not by drawing a line through it, but by bureaucratically undermining it to the point where it is de facto meaningless and you have “gun control.”
Sadly, it is not impossible. Look at states like Hawaii, New York, and others where it is very difficult to buy a gun. DC, for example. Firearms or virtually banned and very few people have them. Citizens in those areas surrendered.
You didn't.
Biden’s bullet ban.
I can tell the number of trolls on this thread (will not call them out, but they are easy to tell).
Until 2008 there was no legal right for Americans to own any type of gun. The Heller case in 2008 was the first ruling that determined that the 2nd Amendment applied to individual citizens and not just Gov’t entities like state militias. Conservatives need to recognize that if the Dems pack the Supreme Ct. Heller is likely to be reversed and guns could be outlawed in the U.S.
Also, mastercard and visa will roll over and spread their legs for the feds. All your purchases are traceable.
“The records show you purchased a lot of 9mm ammo. Where are the weapons associated with these purchases?”
Guns?
What guns?
I lost all mine in a tragic boating accident.
But as with the soviet Union, anything can be had on the black market for a price.
In the meantime, time to go buy more ammo....
They are going to stop ammo sales

When the British tried it.
When the Red Coats seized guns..

The Post’s May 9 news analysis on militias and America’s revolutionary heritage quotes colonial historian Rosemarie Zagarri as stating that the British “didn’t try to disarm” the Americans and never “prohibited the colonists from bearing or owning arms.” Reality was quite the contrary, as I have documented in my 1989 book “A Right to Bear Arms” and in a University of Dayton Law Review article, “Encroachments of the Crown on the Liberty of the Subject: Pre-Revolutionary Origins of the Second Amendment” (Fall 1989).
As British troops sailed to Boston in 1768, the Boston Gazette reported that the ministry commanded things “more grievous to the people, than any thing hitherto made known,” the first of which was “that the inhabitants of this Province are to be disarmed.” By 1774, the British were routinely conducting warrantless searches and seizures of firearms in the Boston area, leading the Gazette to exclaim that “what most irritated the people next to seizing their arms and ammunition” was the arrest of patriot political leaders. King George III ordered the seizure of any firearms imported into the colonies.
Just after the Redcoats’ attempt to seize the arms of the rebel militia at Lexington and Concord in 1775, Gen. Thomas Gage ordered all the inhabitants of Boston to turn in their arms at Faneuil Hall for temporary safekeeping. When the people complied, troops seized the firearms, never to return them. A patriot poet described Gen. Gage’s order as saying:
That whosoe’er keeps gun or pistol,
I’ll spoil the motion of his systole.
“The Declaration of Causes of Taking Up Arms” passed by the Continental Congress cited Gen. Gage’s perfidy in seizing the Bostonians’ arms. The arms seizures were a major cause of the Revolution. STEPHEN P. HALBROOK Fairfax
The words of the Texas Declaration of Independence ring loud.
“It has demanded us to deliver up our arms, which are essential to our defence, the rightful property of freemen, and formidable only to tyrannical governments.”
