For decades I have heard gun owners claim that the government would never be able to confiscate our firearms because the government would lose too many men. The implication being, of course, that gun owners would actively resist confiscation, even to the point of shooting back. But I believe this thinking is outdated and doesn’t align very well with reality. But before you tell me how big your honor guard in Hell will be when that day comes, let’s think about how the government could really do it.
Suppose, for the sake of argument, the government bans all civilian possession of firearms at the end of this month. Congress passes a total ban and the President cuts his own re-election throat by signing it. Gun owners get some grace period to turn them in, even beyond the deadline, without being charged with a crime. If we use Australia and Britain as examples there will still be a significant number of firearms that are not turned in. Some estimates put the Australian turn-in at less than 25% and the British faired only about 28%. But Australians and the British have long been used to obeying almost every gun control law. Not so the Americans. When laws are passed that we don’t like, we bite. We scratch. We vote. So here we sit after the guns have been collected and the amnesties have run out. Now what? Send out the personnel carriers, swat and shock troops to seize the guns from those militia “terrorists” who refused to turn them in? Don’t be silly.
The government has lots of records about you. If you purchased a firearm since 1968, chances are that they have some record of it somewhere....

Posthumously.
I’ve made it very clear to my friends if I drop dead for whatever reason I expect them to remove my guns immediately as they’ll know how to dispose of them:)
Don’t feel bad rumor is all my 30 rnd mags are illegal or going to be in NY.state, but you know how it is with rumors,(in one ear and out the other:)
Picking the low-hanging fruit won’t empty the orchard.
They will also garnish our wages, and electronically freeze all our accounts before moving in. These people are by nature cowards, and will try any means before risking their own butts. Their intent is to break us and make us bow before them, and then lick the dog crap off their boots. The hate these people have for us goes far beyond anything we can imagine.
I have been there. It is so awesome. The statue of Arminius is huge and series. Great place to visit. “Give me back my legions”. Arminius massacred all of them.
Looks like Cuomo’s getting a little pushback from the NY Supreme court over his illegal (SAFE ACT)!!
I've lived in a hand-made shack in the mountains way off grid. Through ALL of the seasons. Just because I could, and to learn what that experience taught me.
Not everyone is going to have pressure points. There's a bunch that don't.

Yes, Red Dawn begins with the premise of a foreign military invasion of the inland state of Colorado. What? We’ll be fighting ACORN, union thugs, OFA Youth, gangbangers and radical treehuggers, not North Koreans or Cubans.
It just does’nt seem fair,have you noticed how sharp some of those Acorn members are?
A superpower's greatest army lost 3 legions (17th, 18th, 19th) in a very short time.
Sucks to be them.

They’re supposedly defunct now. I guess they think we’re as stupid as they are.
If it really is a conservative county why is there not a recall for the sheriff? No way would this nonsense work where I live.
I believe so too, and I am in a position to understand why. No need to give them more...
He is one of the many sheriffs who signed the pledge to obey the constitution. go figure.
You’re right, but you’re part of a very limited exception. So few, I suspect the govt will just let your kind die out by natural causes.
the ratio of 230 to 1 seems correct.
In this end of North Dakota, they might as well just use the phone book...
Recall him.
