We have ways of dealing with gun grabbers...
“If they decided to go after gun owners who refused to register,... “
And they would gain that knowledge how?
Credit Card checks for gun releated purchases?
And who will “they” send to your door?
And since news travels at the speed of light....Many will see this coming.....and....plan accordingly.
1% non-compliance is more citizens than law enforcement.
And that assumes “they” would have 100% participation.
THAT won’t last long!
Hey, they kick your doors down for drugs. Why not guns?
Should total confiscation be attempted, all they will do is issue warrants for all known/registered gun owners and wait. The next time you drive the officer runs your tag and see an outstanding warrant. Whaddaya gonna do? Start a running gun battle with himr and bring the whole force down on you? Or how about your family being with you - gonna risk them? i.e. Turn in your guns or stay in jail and risk your job, etc.
Typical of Washington, they’ll put the load on the police forces and pick you off one or two at a time. Maybe each trooper will get a new quota system - to keep the frogs from yelling about the hot water - each pick off no more than 10 or so a day. Yeah, it will take a while but with all 50 states doing it, confiscation will be accomplished with little or no bloodshed - and no door-to-door raids.

It’s sad, but we may one day soon rely on the firepower of urban gangs as the last holdout against a Federal government which has turned against its own citizens.
The last few seconds are priceless!
If you don’t turn in your guns, they will put you on the “No Fly List” and the “No Banking List”.
They will employ the same slime time media blitz that they have been using for the past 5 yrs.....continue to legislate from the bench, diss the Constitution with executive order and use taxes to bleed this country into oblivion.
Oh, you want a gun, just pay this $200 a year tax (per firearm) and keep up with your national registration requirements. Oh, you want bullets too, well, there will be a sliding tax rate based on quantity and time period. After all, who needs more than 20 rounds, the revolver only holds 6 to 8 anyway.
I know Democrat firearm owners who voted for the Marxist regime and they are wiggin out. They drank the Kool-aid and fully expected free stuff, not losing their firearms and paying more taxes.....suckers got suckered. Go figure.
My thoughts:
Waco was successful because we had a democrat governor, and LE had the masses believing that children were being harmed. I don’t think that will happen the next time. There are still enough Texans around that remember Waco, and we aren’t going to forget it. Also, remember the anti-govt movement in the northern states several years ago? The govt got away with quelling that because they convinced the rest of us that they were a bunch of dangerous nuts.
I can see house to house confiscation happening in the big cities (Houston, Austin, etc.) but I can’t see it happening out here in the boonies where I live. It would just be too dangerous for them. Not enough LE, and too many of us with trees to hide behind and shoot from, and we all have cell phones. And, all of us have multiple guns, with a good share of them being those “mean looking” guns. Also, most of us own a good share of guns that shoot military calibers. The plan being, that after it starts, (if it starts) we are going to be using captured ammo, and playing on the houses’ money.
Not to brag, but a lot of us hayseeds have nothing to do sometimes but shoot guns to pass the time. It’s like stirring coffee with a spoon. We don’t have to think about what we are doing. We do it all the time. After all, we don’t climb those trees after those persimmons - too easy to fall and kill yourself.
I have a big parcel of property, as do a lot of us, with many places to hide, and I’ve been here 25 years. I’ve shot enough deer and other targets on my place, that I know the distances from every fence post to every stump, to every treeline and fence line. I wouldn’t need a spotter to “range me.” I’ve got you cued up the minute you cross my fence in any direction.
I’ve made it a point to flat out ask local state, county, and city LE what they are going to do if gun control/confiscation happens. Their replies range from: “..that’s a federal law - see any feds around?” to: “..guns? What guns?” This is refreshing to hear, and I hope they still have this attitude if it happens.
I don’t think they could make this happen without the military. There are a lot of Texans and other southerners in the military, and we have many awfully big military installations in this state. I don’t see home-grown boys firing on their own people. I see a great many deserters if this happens.
I have no idea how it would start. I do, however, know how it will end.
Cocaine and weed is contraband in this country, does ANYONE believe it isn’t available in every city and town? All those drug laws sure have shut down drug use, drug trade, and drug ownership.
There isn t going to be confiscation. Stop letting idiots make you afraid. Grow a pair. All the punk conservatiues trying to make us afraid. Guess what I don’t fear this gov’t or anything else.
When that happens, you'll know it's because the pogrom has begun.
It started already with permits.
Question for everyone, thoughtful responses, please:
Since the main issue here seems to be about how many gun owners will or will not defy government gun confiscation, then
“How important to this issue is the state in you happen to live?”
Hint: I’m glad I don’t live in Illinois or New York.
I suggest everyone take a deep breath relax and read Unintended Consequences by John Ross. Its a fictional look at overcoming tyranny, but it shows how one could fight back.
There will be difficulties:
- A NICS check doesn’t speak to the gun purchased, nor how many. Those are in the records the BATF requires gun shops to keep. Some are electronic, but many are handwritten or typed and spread across myriad sellers. Easy to look at records of say Walmart, but not Joe’s Pawn Shop.
- there are millions of guns purchased privately or pre-NICS that can’t be tracked.
- There will be numerous deceased, moved, and of course the old ‘aww man, I got rid of those a couple of years back’. They will HAVE to go door-to-door to verify those guns are gone, and guns can be hidden easily off site.
- checking records and going door-to-door will require a huge amount of manpower and will not be low profile. People will know they’re coming and do things to destroy/hide/move ahead of time, including gun sales records.
- there will be court challenges. Putting the law out there to get slapped down will make it even harder to pass one the next time.
Obama, Finestein, and the rest of the NeoCommunists have no expectation that gun owners will actually turn in their guns. They intend to make examples of a chosen few to intimidate and terrorize the rest into obedience and silence. Most legit gun owners tend to be conservative, and actually support the Constitution. Step out of line, speak up publicly, support the wrong candidates, defend yourself against one of their criminals — and gun owners will be investigated, pronounced worse than Hitler in the govt media, dispossessed, imprisoned, or simply murdered. They desire to gradually disarm the populace, destroy private savings and property, and establish arbitrary rule.
What sort of person wants Stalinism? We all know, but hate to admit it.
