People are certainly NOT going to register their guns if only later to Confiscated.

Massive non-compliance with CT and NY's recent set of gun registration laws (NY tired to hide its non-compliance numbers and they were only released via court order) shows that the first step in this simply isn't going to happen. Its a Leftard fantasy.

The follow-on steps of finding the guns through other means and then using law enforcement to go after them are even more of a Leftard fantasy. How many gun store owners will just burn their records? How many local and state police will politely "decline" to go after civilly disobedient but otherwise law-abiding gun owners? In fact, throwing local, state and Federal law enforcement together in a concerted effort where ALL officers decide to take part STILL doesn't provide a FRACTION of the manpower necessary to effect these plans in a nation of 120 million gun owners and close to 400 million guns.

So then what? Call up the National Guard? Suspend Posse Commitatus and employ the active-duty military? Yeah, just watch what happens then - the results the Leftards get will most likely NOT be what they were looking for.

It’s worth noting that mandatory gun registration didn’t even work in a leftist country with a culturally passive mindset like Canada. Their national gun registry was such a failure that it eventually became a joke and was abandoned.
