Australia is quite different from the U.S. about this.

We see, when registration of semi-automatic rifles is called for, the civil disobedience rate is from 70%-95%, and this is in both East Coast states (New York, Connecticut) and West Coast (California).

The vast majority of people simply refuse to comply.

Another good example is what happened in the 1920s regarding alcohol prohibition. One of the largest demonstrations of continued civil disobedience soon followed it’s enactment until it was ultimately abandoned in 1933.
