“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.
This will not happen.
Even if they did, the average gun owner would just get their guns out of sight and file a lost gun report.

“They would not be cheering when police chiefs, officers, and goon squad members who carry out these orders are assassinated at their homes by armed people from their own communities.”
You are exactly right. It wouldn’t just be the confiscators above that become targets. Many of the (unarmed) loudmouth lib/leftists that scream for disarmament will be eliminated by the resisters. Leftist news anchors will start disappearing for one reason or another.
I hope it never comes to that.
“It will be more likely in the form of a letter:
Dear Comrade Citizen It has come to the attention of the Heimatsicherheitdeinst that you are in possession of one or more firearms....”
Freezing the accounts of 100 million Americans would collapse the economy. Washington DC would be burned to the ground, and bankers and corporations would lead the charge.
Protect the constitution from enemies; foreign and domestic.
