When politicians decide to outlaw guns, tens of millions of otherwise law-abiding Americans with tens of millions of guns, billions of rounds of ammunition, and a great deal of experience with them, will then be designated as criminals.

There are not tens of millions of law enforcement personnel available, let alone willing, to attempt to enforce such laws.

As such, all guns laws in effect would become menaingless. If you're already a "criminal" for merely owning a gun, might as well open carry. If everyone is open-carrying, who's going to be the first Barney Fife to attempt to disarm anyone? No one.

Crime would likely be reduced to all time lows and politicians would be living in bunkers, never to be seen in public again.

“There are not tens of millions of law enforcement personnel available, let alone willing, to attempt to enforce such laws.”

The number that I hear is one cop to 1,500 citizens. If you throw in all of the alphabet soup federal agencies, it’d still be 1 to 1,000 or more. Not all of those wearing badges can be counted on to fire on their fellow citizens if the SHTF. Sadly, some of can be.
