My opinion is that they would not go for outright confiscation. It would go something like this:
1- Kerry or whoever passes gun ban by executive order, to be effective on date X.
2- Up until date X, there is a nationwide amnesty to allow turning in guns with no questions asked.
3- Citizens are warned that after date X, if they still retain any banned guns they will be felons.
4- Date X comes and goes. Only about 10% of the estimated supply of banned guns have been turned in. They expect this.
5- BATFE begins monitoring and controlling the sale of all ammo in calibers usable in banned guns, along with reloading equipment.
6- When you order that next case of ammo, it is noticed.
7- Now if you ever take your nice rifles out of the closet to shoot or admire, better hope no one rats you out.
8- Possession becomes a sentencing enhancer for any crime. Laws are loosened to allow searches for weapons without a warrant.
9- Sooner or later you'll get a visit. You know you will. So you bury them.
10- What the hell good are they now? Welcome to UN America.
"Sooner or later you'll get a visit. You know you will. So you bury them."
After they have been shot...right? Or before?
Oh you mean the guns. No they wont be buried.
Whomever signs said executive order would be buried before my guns or me.
Long before date x comes to pass.
They won't have time to notice anything, I'm afraid. If the Nazis want the guns, they will have to die to get them.
