“New laws ALWAYS sound like a good idea until the first time you have to enforce them.” - Unknown
“Low-grade civil war?”
The Leftists are pushing for their gun bans and have bought their bullets; Feinstein and Cuomo are now calling for confiscation of anything they consider to be an assault weapon. Although I would never underestimate the enemy (the Left), it does seem that real attempts at confiscation would contradict their pacifist tendencies which would alienate much of their base. If the Left did go full throttle towards confiscation, with ensuing resistance, a rift would develop on the Left. And that would be something that could be exploited.
