I have always thought that disarming America could be the bloodiest event in human history. Armed Americans aren’t stupid nor are they pushovers. This won’t happen. I have read surveys on how many guns the government believes are owned by citizens and have always felt they were grossley underestimating the fire power in free hands.

...a well regulated militia being necessary.......

I hope you are right but for the most part, we are just a bunch of guys with guns.

If you were a cop (or the Mayor), would you go to work ... to confiscate your neighbors guns knowing that there was a very good probability that your home would be burnt to the ground when you got home?

lol What did America do in 1934, when the first gun control was passed?

A huge uprising would need to have the organization and command/control already in place. Without that I don’t think there will be much of a stir other than words and NRA claiming that it would have been worse without their negotiations.

If it did hit the fan, it’s worth noting that in both Iraq and Afghanistan, guns are not that big of a problem. We can’t seem to handle IEDs too well, though.
