What a moron. What makes Dan Simpson think that gun owners would take this lying down. I suspect that civil authorities as well as the gun grabbing goons involved in confiscation would find themselves to be targeted by gun owners. I mean targeted in the literal sense. Such attempts at disarmament would precipitate a civil insurrection. There is no way the gun grabbers would live to see such a hare brained scheme to completion. Just my opinion but with tens of millions of gun owners a significant percentage would resist to the death.

Because they did. One word: Katrina.

That was pretty much what I was thinking, too. Not only will many citizens defend their rights, they will pro-actively remove the threat to those liberties. That means that gungrabbers of all stripes will not be safe...anywhere.

Sounds like it might be a good opportunity to prune some dead wood while we are at it, too.

Today it might happen.

But give it a couple generations. More and more immigrants that don’t value gun ownership because they’ve never had it. More and more indoctrination in public schools.

Pretty soon there will be so few gun owners that it won’t matter if gun owners resist or not. All the gun grabbers have to do is wait us out. To truly preserve the second ammendment for all time, we have to provoke a confrontation now while we can still win. And that ain’t likely to happen.

I’m sorry, but that’s how I see it. In the end we lose. The only thing that’s debatable is how long we can hold out.
