“From my cold, dead hands!” – Charlton Heston
Liberals love to fantasize about confiscating every gun in America. It may be their most beautiful dream. Liberals get control of the Supreme Court and ignore the Second Amendment; Washington makes gun ownership illegal; almost all the guns come pouring in or are destroyed; a few hapless Jim Bobs who won’t get in line get shot up by the cops and then the government is free to do anything it wants and if people don’t like it, well, what are they going to do about it without guns?
Let me suggest a less happy, but probably more accurate version of how an attempt at gun confiscation would likely go. Liberals get control of the Supreme Court and ignore the Second Amendment followed by Washington making gun ownership illegal. So far, so good, right? Then the vast majority of police departments across the country refuse to do more than accept weapons that are turned in and, of course, very few citizens actually hand over their weapons. At this point, D.C. would have no choice other than to accept that gun confiscation is impossible, which would be the most likely outcome.
ANYONE who try to take ANY of my weapons will get them lead first.Bring it on!
Time to feed the hogs.
Dear Comrade Citizen It has come to the attention of the Heimatsicherheitdeinst that you are in possession of one or more firearms. You will deliver same to the local Polizeiamt within 24 hours. Liens has been placed against your house and all your other property, and all your accounts have been frozen until you comply. All Hail the State!
Not “could” - WILL!
The removal of all liberals and their prodigy would usher in utopia. Isn’t that what the liberals want:-)
The question of the day for the left is, are you willing to die trying to take away the 2nd Amendment rights and/or the guns of Americans?
I believe you are right that they will follow orders, but they will soon run out of confiscators.
The question is will enough people care and do anything, or will we roll over and do nothing?
Exactly what line in the sand will be too much and people decide to revolt? Frankly I don’t know the answer and wonder if there are really enough people left that would be willing to start something. Or have we become too docile to care enough?
We have let the Left gradually since 1933 Socialize this Nation, we have let the incremental Progressive Politics permeate everywhere. We won’t even demand change to things like Health Care and other issues that could be changed.
Have we become just too lazy to pay attention? I often wonder if there are too many distractions and people are so confined to their own little worlds that they have really forgotten the Big Picture?
The only real change that will happen is the one when we finally collapse from all the Debt and Health Care Costs.
At that point I fully expect this country to breakup into it’s own natural sections and we will have the choice to live in the section that mirrors the politics and values we have.
Gun Control could be that spark but then again it may be something else entirely.
Come and get ‘em.
They will run out of gun confiscators within the first 36 hours.

...The one thing that could actually work: protect the schools. We protect our banks, celebrities, and politicians with guns. We protect our children with… signs...
... I am 61 years old. I grew up in a rural area of west-central New Jersey. When I was a boy, all the households around me had a gun or two. We boys used to stack up hay-bales and put targets on them (a charcoal briquette was a favorite choice) to shoot at with a .22.
Schools and scout-troops often had rifle ranges; I myself got a marksmanship Merit Badge while at summer camp with the Boy Scouts. I don’t recall being aware of any gun laws at all; you could buy ammo at the general store. (Gun safety was a big deal, though, and kids were taught to handle firearms carefully and respectfully.)
This was the state of normal (non-urban, middle-class, predominantly white) American culture half a century ago. Guns were an unexceptional part of that bygone world, and were easily accessible to all of us (you could order pretty much any gun you liked through the mail, by sending cash in an envelope!). Somehow, though, we hardly ever murdered each other, and mass shootings were very, very rare.
Something has changed, obviously. And it isn’t access to guns.
To those on the Left, shrieking for the government to make the pain stop by exerting more control — you celebrities, politicians, editors, and yes, you goodthinkful liberals that I know personally here in New York, many of whom I have called friends — I’ll say this:
While you were, over the last half-century, systematically destroying, displacing, denouncing, and dismantling the historic American nation and its civil society — all moral norms, every basis of public commonality, all respect for our history and heritage, public expression of religion, the nuclear family, sexual restraint, and every natural structure and category and hierarchy that held civilization together and gave young people a framework within which to learn dignity and duty and gratitude and belonging and meaning and self-control — while you were doing all that, what did you think was going to happen? And now you want to “fix” the moral and social wreckage you’ve created by disarming us against your future predations upon our rights, our culture, and upon the society we still hope, against hope, to restore and preserve?
Go to hell. This sickness is your fault, not ours.
If you want our guns, come and get them.
I remember an old Nazi German saying this on the British series, The World at War:
"The German Army in fighting Russia is like an elephant attacking a host of ants. The elephant will kill thousands, perhaps even millions, of ants, but in the end their numbers will overcome him, and he will be eaten to the bone.
--Colonel Bernd Von Kielst
This would make CW I look like a love fest in comparison.
Abortion was only one part of the left’s two-pronged attack on the American population. In the quest to remake the face of America, the left began slaughtering America’s progeny, and then set about replacing the missing Americans with turd worlders who would happily vote democrat in exchange for a reliable government check. The current unwillingness to uphold immigration law is a direct result of abortion policy.
Yup. There’s Joe Leftist, in his Bermuda shorts and swell polo shirt, outside by the pool grilling hotdogs...
There he is lying in the wet grass, as the blood pools around his montionelss body...
Great article here.

I don't think so.

THAT is why Liberals cannot and will not care if their actions bring about CWII... because they are simply being "Good" in their own delusional programming, and it does not matter how much destruction it rains down on the world, as long as they think they are being "Good People".
We’ve already had a preview of this scenario a few years back in, I believe, Connecticut. The state government there passed a law outlawing AR-15’s and directed citizens to turn them in. But to their astonishment only a few takers showed up as the people quietly rebelled and refused to do so. I’ve yet to see lawmakers there demand that law enforcement go door to door and confiscate even known weapons. Issue dropped.
