This is the first step, next comes the ‘gun confiscation’, next comes Civil War II.
Gun confiscation? How? By what justification? Carried out by whom?
To confiscate, possession must be ruled illegal. Who does the ruling? Who revokes all the CCW permits?
Registration is a dead letter, even in states where it’s the law. The only way to round up guns is to search private homes. Who’s going to be knocking on doors; local, state, or Federal armed agents?
Will these agents be indifferent to angry armed residents on the other side of the door? Is “we’re ready for a gunfight so bring it, citizen!” going to be their mode of operation?
Confiscation requires more than a wave of some bureaucrat’s manicured fingers. So how shall it be carried out? Random arrests? Fine, let every LEO be seen as a personal enemy of every citizen; let them swagger in their tacticool gear and dare anyone to look at them cross-eyed.
Then let them see their homes show up on google Earth. Let them learn the meaning of “doxxing”. Let them slam citizens against the wall and bellow “WE are the masters now!!”
