I can’t speak for NY, but there are a LOT of folks here in Illinois who will not buckle under.

I can look at recent election results in both NY and Illinois and say with confidence that those are some of the first states that would buckle under. I mean, come on, there might be some holdouts but NY and Illinois are pretty far gone at this point.

There was the previous assault weapons ban and far more restrictions on our 2nd amendment rights in the past, yet I don't recall much in the way of resistance. Heck, gun control used to far worse than it is now and there was no resistance. I hope this time is different, but I doubt it.

You would have to liver here to understand things. 5 Counties here gave Obama Illinois, that’s it. Between Chicago and the collar Counties and East St. Louis there is a sea of red.

The urban areas of Illinois may submit, but I doubt even that. If you think the Illinois State Police or even the National Guard is going to go into Englewood to take guns, well, I don’t think so.

If the Feds try confiscating weapons downstate there will be undertakers working three shifts.

"The Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB), or Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, was a subtitle of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a federal law in the United States that included a prohibition on the manufacture for civilian use of certain semi-automatic firearms, so called "assault weapons". The 10-year ban was passed by Congress on September 13, 1994, and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton the same day. The ban only applied to weapons manufactured after the date of the ban's enactment.

The law also banned possession of illegally imported or manufactured firearms, but did not ban possession or sale of pre-existing 'assault weapons' or previously factory standard magazines that were legally redefined as large capacity ammunition feeding devices. This provision for pre-ban firearms created higher prices in the market for such items, which still exist due to several states adopting their own assault weapons ban."

Know your history. This time around it is a lot different.
