No they won't. If gun confiscation occurs then 95% of gun owners will willingly turn over their guns for “compensation,” even if that's just an agreement to not be prosecuted and spending years in prison. The rest will hide their guns and think they're rebelling by not turning them in, but virtually nobody will strike back offensively.

People are too comfortable in their lives to have another revolution. Besides, the only way a revolution could be fought again is through the use of explosives. Those that do use explosives are derided by even 2nd amendment advocates. Revolution requires offensive strikes, not just hiding a gun in your attic insulation “just in case.”

That is complete and utter nonsense,this isn't the UK.

Refer to what happened when the Michigan Militia was arrested. Even freepers threw them under the bus yet it turned out they were railroaded by a corrupt agent.

When guns are outlawed and someone is caught with one they will be labeled a terrorist, as was the MM. They will be lied about in the media, as was the MM. They will be vilified in such a manner that even 2nd amendment “advocates” will be afraid to voice support of them.

When the ATF burned the Branch Dravidian compound in Waco was a time to revolt. 1 person acted in an offensive manner by blowing up a building and is derided as a nutcase by even 2nd amendment advocates. That is what revolution is. It's ugly. It's violent. It has innocent victims along with the intended ones. America doesn't have the stomach for it anymore.

I'm sorry you disagree. I hope I'm wrong, but I've watched the voting public roll over and take restriction after restriction, each time erasing their line in the sand and moving it a little further down the field; only to erase it and move it again when the next restriction comes along.

Successfully stopping the removal of any rights requires organization. Once someone tries to organize the resistance, there will be a Benedict Arnold that will tell the Feds. Next up, comes a Ruby Ridge, Waco, Ft. Davis, or Michigan militia episode. Never underestimate the power and tyranny of government to quash you and make you out as a seditionist with the complict State run media.

All that being said, the UN bull$h!t is going nowhere.

Isn't it? In 2008 65 million people voted to commit national suicide. We shall see.
