This is the brutal truth of the matter. Anyone who understands this enemy and his designs knows this. The enemy also knows that we know it, which is why it's important to think outside the box on this one. I wasn't suggesting local LEOs would be participating in mass, door-to-door enforcement of some new gun ban or treaty. I was thinking more along the lines of a stealth confiscation... "you were on anti-depressants in 1998 and Section Z, Article B-6 of Addendum V of the Affordable Healthcare Act prohibits you from legally owning a firearm, sir"... that sort of thing, but on a grand scale, with each individual gun owner ensnared in his own personalized regulatory web and being disarmed by LEOs, Treasury, DHS, FBI, and so on.
I don't pretend to know exactly how it's going to go down, but I know they're going to do their damnedest to disarm the people (their only true opposition), and they're not going to do it in a way that will provoke a hot war in the streets. That would risk everything they've worked for generations to accomplish. They're smarter than that.
Like minded people tend to find each other. One, or more States will say “Enough!”, and Treasury, DHS, FBI, ATF, etc. will have to decide if they really want to start a war. Once the first state stands up to them, more will follow.
While it is interesting to discuss all the “could happen” scenarios, I don’t look for any drastic new gun control laws. Concealed carry laws in most states have expanded people’s interest to carry, even libs are carrying. Texas doesn’t have open carry yet, but no permit needed to carry in your vehicle. No treaty trumps constitutional rights, and even the politicians, with the exception of a few in districts that will re- elect them no matter what,won’t touch it.( I’m thinking Jackson-Lee here in Texas,maybe Schumer in NY) Now, I’m not saying that the “wanna be king” obama wouldn’t like to do such things, even his teleprompter will tell him no.
