I'm talking the percentage of US gun owners who are on their last straw. Math works about to about ten million folks.
What "math"? I've seen people pull numbers out of their backsides and speculate 10 million people, but there's no data to support this. I'm willing to take it on faith that there will be at least 10 million people who will be steaming mad at more pointless gun regulation (count me in). Going out and "hunting" legislators is not something I expect anyone to actually do, unless they are an unmedicated schizophrenic. It certainly isn't something that is going to help the cause of gun liberty in this country.
In a post to justice14: Then you need to read the legislation submitted. Outright confiscation is exactly what is being purposed.
I read some of the links your search brought up and didn't see a single "outright confiscation" bill. I'm not saying you're wrong, but it would be helpful if you could provide a link. Also, justice14 is right; it doesn't matter what bills are introduced if they don't even make it to a vote. A lot of these bills are just posturing that's DOA. That's why I changed my description to credible.
When the orders go out to start the confiscations, those giving those orders instantly draw a target on their own backs.
Anti-liberty legislators already have a (metaphorical) target on their backs as far as pro-liberty voters are concerned. Nevertheless, the agenda of voters varies from place to place and not all districts have the political will to unseat these legislators. If voting these people out of office isn't a sufficiently popular idea, then how is murdering them out of office going to go over? Answer: not well.
Extrapolating from the Revolutionary War and the Civil War and using estimates of todays gun owners.
If anything, our numbers are on the low side.
Keep reading. Di-fi's bill includes full confiscation. The high cap mag ban is also a full on confiscation. The registration bill? Gotta know where they are to go and collect them. Happened in Germany and Russia... Not in Canada because their massive non-compliance made it impossible.
As for what legislation makes it out of committee... That is why we are doing massive pushes on Congress critters to keep them voting for career longevity rather than civil war...
Answer: not well
How well is a massive confiscation effort going to go over? It went over just fine in Germany and look how that turned out. Let's try something different this time... You know... Like fighting back.
Or not... Go back to watching American Idol and forget we ever had this conversation.
