Aside from the fact that Minority Report was a sci-fi story revolving around incarcerated precognitive mutants...
What you’re contending is that the police, with modern & near-future technology, can/will be able to target a particular individual, easily scan their domicile for concealed weapons, and approach with such overwhelming force & speed that the subject will have zero time to do anything about it.
Yup.
Tyrannies past bypassed the high-tech angle by just jumping the guy, or shooting him at a distance, and making him & his disappear overnight.
Would take about a dozen cops (minimum!) to execute such a raid on a single individual. That’s fine, with a proper search warrant, time to research & practice raid, enough tech to scan the building & identify all weapons (not trivial as implied), and element of surprise.
I live in a well-off Southern community. Probably half the 150 homes have guns - a few with some rather substantial collections owned by hard-core “cold dead hands” types. Local police can muster maybe 12-24 officers to perform a raid, one house at a time, to sweep every home accordingly. ...thing is, it’s gonna be pretty obvious pretty fast to everyone in that single-entrance community what’s going on. At an _optimistic_ one house per hour, that’s going to take an entire _week_ to process the whole community. ...thing is, there’s a bunch of guys in that community who won’t sit around waiting for “their turn” at confiscation; some of them are going to politely walk up to the raid team leader, heavily armed, with more of ‘em discreetly positioned out of sight with big-bore deer rifles and/or machine guns (yes, they’re legal in these parts), and politely remind the team about the meaning of the 2nd Amendment, the officers’ oath to uphold the law & Constitution, how nice it is to attend church & schools together, and how the rest of ‘em are right now on their way to have a similar friendly chat with the raid team’s families who live within walking distance. Southern culture is real nice & friendly, even when making clear “if you do X, you gonna die.”
And that’s just a paltry little community of 150 homes. Is disarming this community so meaningful to the raid team that, regardless of their firepower & technology, a substantial number of them are sure to never see their families again? ...with a hundred more such communities to disarm?
There’s my proof the gov’t can’t confiscate them all.
>50,000,000 gun owners, with a substantial fraction quite willing & able to kill anyone attempting to confiscate.
Regardless of how fast each raid can be performed, regardless of how high the tech detecting the weapons, it takes time on the order of hours to perform a single raid. ...and it only takes minutes for every pro-RKBA owner in the area to show up and say “no.”
The thing is, I have precious little to live for. So it’s a very easy choice for me.
I am LE. Don’t worry about gun confiscation. There wouldn’t be enough time, men, or money. We can’t even get guns out of the hands of known drug dealers with felony records and known gang members and they only account for about 1 out of 1000 American gun owners. It’s a stupid fantasy to even suggest the idea.
Also, a person would be a moron and a bastard for threatening to kill me in this forum and I take personal offense to it. Generally speaking, LE is your best friend in a ridiculous confiscation fantasy scenario. All of the chest thumping and direct threats are sickening. Go join Antifa or BLM.
The whole topic is stupid and impossible and neither I, nor any LE I know, would participate.
