Look up what happened in New Orleans after Katrina.
Martial law declared by city and guns confiscated from citizens trying to protect their homes.
That was one agency, and not representative of all agencies or police officers.
Comparatively, that was on a pretty small scale. If the numbers of 80-100 MILLION armed US Citizens is correct, that’d be impossible. Just saying.
But, most of us had “boating accidents” (here we go!) and lost all our firearms in the lake last summer!
A National Guard unit refused to confiscate weapons during Katrina. Nothing was done to them. They should all get awards.
“Look up what happened in New Orleans after Katrina.”
Confiscations stopped quick when non compliant police agencies made clear what would happen if they continued.
Notice too that short of one little old lady, nobody who didn’t give ‘em up lost ‘em. Those who made clear it would be “bullets first” remained armed.
