He is right.

IF, and that is a big if, full confiscation starts, and IF there is a an armed resistance, it will be over quick.

We have a generation of soldiers trained in house to house combat. The Fedgov has drones, tanks, helicopters, and artillery.

The people have (mostly) bolt action and semi automatic firearms.

IF it comes to that, most will comply. The rest will die. And the troops will just follow orders because that is what they do.

There are roughly 100 million firearms owners in the US.

If 99% of them obey an order to “Turn ‘em in”, that leaves a million holdouts.

If 90% of those go out in a “blaze of glory” in the first week, that still leaves 100,000 survivors.

And those 100,000 will also be the most capable and motivated resisters. Northern Ireland was kept in turmoil for several decades by a few hundred guys. The DC/Maryland/Virginia area was kept in turmoil for several weeks by TWO guys.

If the first 10,000 of the resisters each takes one “occupier” with him when he dies, how enthusiastic do you think the “occupation” will be?

WE outnumber THEM thousands to 1. Some of THEM will side with US against their illegal orders. Some of those tanks, drones, and heavy artillery will be in our hands as well.

Go hide. Run away. Or worse, capitulate.

We literally do not need, nor want, people like you...
