“When they come for my gun, they will have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands,” is a common refrain I often hear from the Neo-Cons when there is a threat that the US government is going to take their firearms.
And, when I hear this crazy talk, I agree with them openly. “You are right. They will pry your gun from your cold dead hands,” which I often follow with the question, “And where will that leave you except face down in a pool of your own blood the middle of the street, just another dead fool resisting the State?”

Guess it kind of depends on the mood I’m in that day
Compare and contrast.

I’m beginning to see this is the case. They are educated by a socialist education system to begin with. Then corrupted, further, in the military (that it has turned out to be).
No more God, country, family.
That is being beaten out of them. Incrementally. Just like Fabian Socialists do. EVERYTHING is about incrementalism. Little by little.
At that point they plan on killing the 10% of the population the Bill Ayers promised, so you might as well take a few of them with you.
You're dead anyway.
There aren’t enough “agents” to roll down the street all at once, so there will be plenty of advanced notice.
Additionally, none of my collection is “registered”.
With just a little bit of notice, I can become very difficult to locate.
If you don’t think there are enough folks in a similar situation to make a difference, you’re mistaken.
What will be their basis for confiscation?
BATFE Form 4473? That registers only the point of initial sale from an FFL holder to an individual who has received an NCIS check.
It’s really a bigger task than the gungrabbers can conceive of.
Why do folks believe that everyone “deputized” by some gov’t agency is willing to play along with this little plot?
I can just see this scenario, after a day of gun confiscation they return to the station, which has just been commandeered by a militia that then in returns tkes away those confiscated weapons.
Or the warehouse is attacked by gangs, drug lords or even pissed off people.
I bet the replica weapons industry will be booming, a fully detailed but non functioning wepon gets confiscated, so what they gonna do, throw you in jail for giving them a plastic or wood M16?
I would gladly spearhead a nationwide project on how to cheaply make a museum grade non working replica.
Its basically the square peg in a round hole scenario, they can talk about it till the sun turns blue, but it just ain;t gonna happen. I predict that should it occur no less than 100 million people will resist, are they prepared to shoot 100 million Americans? Or put them in prison, or garnish their wages, tax refunds, SS or anything else?
Just won’t happen, not small scale or large scale. They would have better luck using lopping shears to emasculate all males (cutting the you know whats).
No. And millions more won't, either.
Just because this lawyer is peeing his panties in fear of the feds, don't mean the rest of us are.
Any potential confiscation attempt will be over and done with LONG before they sweep door-to-door. Those people have to go home sometime, and when they do, end of story. A few like that and suddenly, there will be a shortage of labor to execute the confiscation.
And after the state butchers a few dozen civilians, what happens next?
The author is a fool.
I used to have guns, but they got lost in a canoeing accident. This happens so often.
Authoritarians can only use the police and military to crush dissent when they know the secret: they will not attack their own, but will attack some other minority.
Then ask yourself, if you had a company of US Marines, what Americans would they willingly attack? New Englanders? Floridians? Texans? Californians? Which of these people are so different from where the Marines came from that they would not be seen as fellow Americans?
Otherwise, what happens when their company commander is replaced by a political appointee, who puts on the Marine uniform, declares himself their new commander, and orders them to fire on unarmed citizens?
He will likely find his command to be short-lived, punctuated with his pitiful screams that they must “Obey me! Obey me! Do what I order you to do!”
DING! Winnner!!! Always have one "throw-away" registered gun so when they come to take away your arms, they can only take what they KNOW about.
Not sure if other states register guns, Illinois does. I have two (that they know about.) They can have 'em, without a fight. The rest that I purchased out of state and brought home with me are the ones I'm interested in keeping.
What will be their basis for confiscation?

Have you looked at the “Alphabet Agencies” lately? OUR rights mean $hit!
I saw a picture of a gun once. It scared me.
The number of firearms and ammo in private hands in this country is simultaneously unknown and incalculable. Some of it is on the books, but the vast bulk of it isn’t. Anyone who thinks disarming the civilian populace will be a casualty free walk-in-the-park is crazy as a loon. Fortunately, I think most police/military are smart enought not to execute such an order. Some may go through the motions, but that’s about it.
The way to deal with those proposing confiscation is mock them.
DHS is obviously run by idiots, currently. They step in deep doo every time they try to be forceful. Like Keystone Cops.
Like the stupid idea of the US Department of Education having SWAT Teams. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.
Remember, November is Coming! Obozo Must Go! Then it is TIME to DownSize DC!
Bring it on.
enough will, thats the point.
If they try it, a lot of troops will follow orders
Sure, they'd be amazed at how wealthy and technologically advanced American are and I'm sure they'd welcome some developments like granting citizenship to blacks. But the overall picture would drive them somewhere between outrage and despair.
