I disagree. When the people being sent to confiscate these weapons genuinely worry they will not go home that night it will stop. Won’t take many to get the point across.

That’s right. Or worry about getting home.

I agree but the unanswered question still remains. Who is going to say goodbye to their family, job and the good life and go to prison, especially if not enough others will do the same.

We as a society are conditioned not to interfere, even if witnessing brutal muggings, assault and rape in plain view.

It will not be done a few at first. It will be a co-ordinated massive assault on thousands, perhaps a million high profile gun owners at one time. If a few thousand people die fighting it and a few of the raiders die taking the guns, it will not affect the progress, the second wave will be easy. Many will take their guns in to the station. When the guns are gone after a short interval all the ex-gun owners not recognized to be left activists will begin being arrested. There is not enough room in the prisons and warehouses to keep them all and it will require a whole new class of tribunals presided over by low level bureaucrats. We know where it will go from there. It will happen if the Democrats get control again, as soon as they can clear out the non reliable new hires and replace them with reliable "activists."

Bury you guns? It had better be on property not your own and not owned by a gun-owner. They can be found from the air 10 or more deep. Perhaps find a place in the country where old washing machines are thrown in a pile and bury them there, or a landfill that has a lot of metal in it.

Returned Democrat control is a much more serious prospect than continuation of a Democrat presidency would have been. The charge to the total state would seem rapid in a Clinton presidency but a return to power after a Trump campaign has cheated them out of their Revolution will bring on a rapid, probably violent, purge of the military and replacement provisionally of left activists. That will go all the way down to reserves and National Guard and the police forces will be federalized and purged. Then they finish it.

This is my take on letting the Democrats back into the Presidency. And Republican continued "control" of Congress, well, we have seen how that goes.

"genuinely worry they will not go home that night"

or more importantly, have a home to go back to... they don't live in a vacuum
