What Liberals Don’t Understand: A Serious Attempt at Gun Confiscation Could Lead to Civil War

“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.

Just after the whole Virginia "white nationalist"/Antifa kerfuffle last year, the statists cranked up the agitprop to derail Trump/impeach him etc. Many on the "right" also turned on Trump, like the CEOs quitting his Advisory Council.

Ultimately, it was all a futile effort. America/Deplorables, no longer peopled by milquetoast Republicans, understood what Trump was saying (and that he wasn't Hitler's incarnate), the NeverTrumpers kept rambling while Antifa were unmasked as the terrorists that they are, the American Renaissance losers were rejected by Deplorables, and ultimately we got tax reform (among other things).

We are seeing EXACLY the same thing now...on the backs of dead children, the statists want to convert Florida - one of the most pro-gun states in the union (and a vital source of conceal carry reciprocity) - into Connecticut. In the process, the MSM is looking under every rock and in every hole for "conservatives" willing to surrender their right to KABA in return for invitations to cocktail and pizza parties.

Indeed, we got this test balloon today: Is the Second Amendment Worth Dying For? The appropriate response, of course came from NorthMountain:

The disarmists need to decide whether or not “gun-control” is worth dying for ...

Buckle up, folks....here we go again.

My friends have 1776-era iron and brass cannons on their front lawns since 1920`s only one mile away from Ft. Ti.

[Electric Graffiti]

That’s exactly how the goose-steppers would go about it.

[TBP]

They understand. They want it. Bottom up, top down strategy. Cloward and Piven.

The real war begins not with turncoat local cops but with blue helmet UN troops imported as “peacekeepers” by a treasonous totalitarian regime like the Obama obscenity.

Future Mexican gun cartels would love it. Their guns would be worth a lot more on the black market. Police would also be at greater risk because they are another potential target of weapons theft.

There are indeed liberal “republicans” (Romeny)

There are conservative dems - no more in power like Zell “Spitball” Miller - but in the base. And, being eeked out.

[Dr. Pritchett]

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

“They don’t care. Win or lose, a CWII would weaken America, and that is always one of their highest priorities... and there is a chance they could walk away with the leadership of the nation at the end of it all. War is cruel and unpredictable. “

Oh, how they would LOVE to pit LEOs and Military against otherwise law abiding Americans!!!! Pass them the popcorn!!!

Well of course. We have RINOs up the ying-yang, but that wasn't the question.

The RATs and queers have infiltrated or commandeered practically every American institution, be it educational, governmental, religious or cultural. From the churches, to the media, to Hollywood, to primary and higher education, to the Boy Scouts, to the military, to the "deep state".

And they have done the same to the GOP.

[Fred Hayek]

“The RATs and queers have infiltrated or commandeered practically every American institution, be it educational, governmental, religious or cultural.”

They have also infiltrated the corporate world, and are commonly found either in “Human Resources” or finagled their way into management. These are the corporate zampolits. And just like the zampolits in Soviet military units, they are useless, prove to be obstructions, and make everyone miserable.

[VanShuyten]

There are probably near a million people here in the US who already are banned from possession but still own them anyway. Illegals, felons, drunkards and dopers, etc.

Ask any liberal his plan to disarm the Crips or Mongols or the Aryan Brotherhood or MS-13. Mass arrests and warrantless searches?

I’m jealous. ...

One more try, TAGLINE... LOL

This is where I diverge with so many naive freepers....I have zero doubt the State will have any trouble finding cops and military ideologically prone to fill the box cars.....there are always those willing to.....it will all be justified and celebrated and called something the opposite of what it really is....”second amendment enhancement” or “firearms liberation”

it’s like Tucker said last weekend....they fear gun owners more than guns....don’t think for an instant guns are for self defense or hunting...our founders knew they were to thwart tyranny

anyhow...they’ll be able to get folks to go door to door and they will be Waco Ruby Ridge heeled......anyone here ever through all the touch talk considered defense against warthogs and apaches and vipers with infra red out the ass ....much less ac130 GE guns....war ain’t movies or novels ....and civil wars by lightly armed revolt versus state forces goes to terrorism pretty damn quick....and reprisals....no one should hope for this

the left would do this to us and again call it the opposite of what it is....they justify anything....they say or do....

If they insist on another civil war, before we’re through with them, the totalitarian language of the Left should only be spoken in hell.

Two thoughts:

1) You assume I will meet them on the battlefield of their choosing. I will not.

2) Asymmetric warfare.
