Actually, as a grandfather myself, I have thought it through and I do not like what I see.
My major point is once guns are made illegal and a major felony, millions of good, honest, patriotic American citizens will become newly minted criminals because they won't comply. At that point, they become prey of the law and unknown informers who may be former friends, neighbors, relatives, or whomever is looking for government favor or is on their side.
It will be hard to passively hide with formerly unknown weapons if they think you have them and come to collect them. The SWAT teams will smash down your door and ruin your house in a destructive search if they even suspect you have contraband (look at the WOD). And like the WOD, because you have illegal contraband, your home and assets are up for forfeiture. You may end up in jail and your now penniless family may end up on the street. Remember, with the Obamacare precedent, the government now has direct access to your bank accounts as well.
With your general comments, I can't argue. It is a nasty choice facing all of us if they get their way and pass these draconian and unConstitutional laws in almost any form. There is hardly a thing they lust to do that is anything but pure bad.
This will not be the America you and I grew up with and love and know.

And after that starts, the reprisals will begin--not that anyone wants that--but because without them, there will be no deterrent to being an informant.
Before no one would even consider being an informant, nor act on that information, that will get very, brutally, ugly--it will have to.
That isn't the America I grew up in, either. I have said the Second American Revolution will not be anything like the first. It will more closely resemble the Terror.
