The whole point of the 2A is so Americans can forcefully respond to others who have declared war on them, whether at the macro (governmental tyranny or foreign invasion tyranny) or the micro (criminal thug tyranny) level.

But he does have a point, that the critical problem is there are millions of final straws when there should only be one final straw in order to respond effectively and en masse. If 10 million 2A supporters all converged on DC simultaneously would be one thing. If only a few hundred did so would be laughed at and ridiculed.

The law of unintended consequences could well be in play in this scenario. As soon as they announce people need to start turning in their guns, there may be a lot of incidents perpetrated against those behind this and their underlings, even before the turn-ins begin.

One thing’s for sure: Our Founders would’ve never stood for such involuntary weapons turn-ins. They’re spinning in their graves that liberty is so unimportant to us.

“If only a few hundred did so would be laughed at and ridiculed.”

Depends on whether they were protesting or ... something else.
