Can’t agree about people just handing their stuff over. Not in a million years from what I can tell. But most definitely we need to keep the commies/Nazis/“progressice” nuts out of power. I think a good way to do this is to prosecute soroz asap and investigate the rest of the puppetmeisters who seized Or purchased control over the dnc. Once the D party machine is restored to the majority of its voter base, there will still be some or even many candidates we wouldn’t like much, but imho most Of the really hard core dictatorship type candidates will - without their puppetmeisters’ lock on the party apparatus - not even win nomination. A fewcstill would, of course. But the base is pretty much extremist only in a few key places - not nearly enough to carry a national el cation imho.

The vast majority of Americans would simply “hand them over” if firearms are somehow legislated to be illegal.

I strongly disagree. I think conservative, freedom loving Americans would shoot the confiscators, for all the reasons you listed in the balance of your post.

Don't think for a minute, that our government hasn't war gamed out the gun confiscation strategy many times. If those studies had ever shown that it could be successfully done, it would have, long ago.

The fact is, the numbers are simply too great. 150 million Americans possess 400 million guns. Even if 90% of those gun owners agreed to turn over their guns, that leaves a force of 15 million angry, determined, and likely VERY capable marksmen and patriot warriors to contend with.

That is ten times the strength of our current federal forces. Forces who would be asked to shoot and kill their own countrymen in order to violate their inalienable, God given right to keep and bear arms.

That in itself would cause a general mutiny in the ranks, which would likely lead to a violent, military-led overthrow of the despotic traitors who set the whole thing in motion.

Sane people already KNOW that ‘safety’ has NEVER mattered to the Leftists who have to take away guns to institute their evil freedom-stealing goals.

Not that it will accomplish anything

It depends on what you think they want to accomplish.

They can cut just your power, or maybe take your children into custody, for safety of course. You can get them back when you comply.

If they know who I am and where I live (and if they know who I am they know where I live and vice versa) why would they need to cut my power? Just send in the swat team.

Where do people get these dumb ideas?

How many SWAT teams do you have? Why risk them? dumb.

Of course. The 2nd Amendment isn’t worth it. Bend over, let the statists have their way.

I hear lots of big talk here, sorry for offering a sober alternative scenario.

You’re right. Nothing is worth fighting or dying for.
Our Founding Fathers were idiots.

Apparently you are incapable of explaining your position.
Pathetic.

OK, here's a pearl for you...

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams

You make a series of incorrect assumptions about me, and you were rude about it. You will need to work on that if you are going to help defend against the government - unless you plan on doing it alone.

I went by the only information you supplied and reacted rudely to your rudeness. Intentional obtuseness is rude as well.
