Except they’ll also expect a POLICE REPORT of the loss of the firearm, PRIOR to the claim being made. And by the way, if you make that report, you better be DAMN SURE that your gun is never discovered anywhere else.
All cute and Moulin Rouge and all the stuff about Civil War 2, but in the end, if the Left gets power, they WILL get our guns, and with very, very, little resistance...they simply are not so dumb as to take us on head-on (i.e., door to door), they’ll do it slowly, very slowly, until there’s too few of us left to stop them.
Your reasoning is very similar to mine in all respects on this subject.
There’s this human idiosyncrasy where drastic or far out things will never happen to them. One of the best examples of the last 100 years are the Jews murdered by Hitler. Many just did not think it was real or it would affect them and just willingly got on the cattle cars and into the showers.
Americans will be the same when gun control comes about. The cops may not go door to door, but if such a law is passed and citizens are called to turn them in, I betcha 80 - 90% will be voluntarily turned in. Look at Australia.
“...they’ll do it slowly, very slowly, until there’s too few of us left to stop them....”
Seriously, I wouldn’t be surprised if the democrats tried to pass a law making you a “prohibited person” for getting so much as a parking ticket.
