Now, how would one disarm the American population? First of all, federal or state laws would need to make it a crime punishable by a $1,000 fine and one year in prison per weapon to possess a firearm. The population would then be given three months to turn in their guns, without penalty.

The disarmament process would begin after the initial three-month amnesty. Special squads of police would be formed and trained to carry out the work. Then, on a random basis to permit no advance warning, city blocks and stretches of suburban and rural areas would be cordoned off and searches carried out in every business, dwelling and empty building.

And civil war would begin almost immediately. Cops on these task forces will become the highest mortality job in the nation.

Can you see them trying this in South Central LA or Texas for God's sakes? These cops would get wasted on sight.

They'll start small, against "obvious nutcases" such as the Alabama Free Militia. Oh wait, they already have. They've confiscated firearms in NOLA as well, even refusing to return them in the face of a court order to do so. Yet I don't see the Mayor or Police Chief of the Chocolate City being thrown into jail for violating the rights of the citizens under both the federal and Louisiana Constitutions.
