This works both ways, though. Get my employer to fire me, I have no income and therefore no tax liability. I also drastically curtail discretionary spending. If 100 million people are doing the same thing, government gets to enjoy Depression-style unemployment and losses of revenue. Barring an actual criminal conviction, those 100 million people still have the right to vote. Enough angry people at the polls and even aggressive vote fraud won't be enough.

There are also civil remedies that would come into play, as soon as the first person who doesn't actually own a prohibited firearm gets persecuted for owning one.

Canada tried to register all long guns. Nobody complied. They eventually gave up. If it were this easy, Canada, whose people are comparatively obedient and whose government is repressive compared to ours, would have forced compliance by doing this. They didn't even try.

Sheila Nutcase Jackson Lee's insane bills aren't going to pass anyway.

All of the people in government that support this, those running collection centers, maintaining databases have to sleep 8 hours a day and they have kids and spouses.

I would think that attacking and hacking these databases would be a prime target.

“Sheila Nutcase Jackson Lee’s insane bills aren’t going to pass anyway.”

I agree. Her terrible bill won’t pass at 100%. It will return at 50% and the GOPe Rinos will rush to vote for it.

And in a few years, they’ll get all 100%, a few % each time.
