The challenge is not finding and confiscating any one individual’s firearms. The challenge would be sustaining that effort beyond the first few innocent victims.

Yeah, people tend to become less enthusiastic about their job when it pays very little and can easily get you killed. Funny how people react that way, huh?

It’s not just on the job that this would be an issue. I would (permanently) shun any law enforcement officer who participated in confiscating firearms, and the same for their families. Some armed Americans would react more forcefully to such traitors, at their homes and in the community, and there would be more forceful patriots than there would be treasonous LEOs.

That was Alexander Solzhenitsyn contention:

Oh how we burned in the camps. If only we had resisted even if it was with shovels and axe handles. The State may have run out of people who would risk their lives to do the job rounding people up. If they had to worry about whether they were going home at the end of their shift, there have been fewer people willing to do it.(Im paraphrasing)
