History has shown over and over again that the US Military is the MOST humanitarian and magnanimous military EVER, by orders of magnitude. Once they have subdued an enemy, they work their hardest to make them friends, even brethren in arms. We’ve seen that even in Iraq.

However...

If they are sent to help collect your firearms, what are you going to do to resist the ones who don’t refuse the order to do so?

What do you expect them to do to any resistance they meet?

Of course we’d have quite a bit of notice of such a thing, the debates would be furious within the Congress, and state by state as well. I don’t see how you get around the existing laws barring the military from being used in such a manner.

“What do you expect them to do to any resistance they meet?”

I think you’d see a rebellion....within the ranks of the military, long before that ever came to pass.
