It has always been my belief that the government does not have and could not recruit enough people to do anything like. Just imagine, at he beginning of the block ten people go up to the house to confiscate weapons, 7 walk away unhurt. That is just the first house. Say 5 houses per block, 30% casualty rate per house. I don’t think they would make it to the end of the block. Now imagine that this takes place in southern states such as Texas. BATFE, U.S. Marshalls, FBI, every other alphabet soup government agency will run out of people real fast. I don’t think even the military wants to look at the casualties involved in something like this. What do they do, mass artillery fire, mass tank fire, B-52 Arc Light missions over America? Confiscation is a pipe dream of anti-gun people. A mentally ill pipe dream.
Closer to 100% in any dining hall I was running. ;)

The fault lines will start to happen when troops are used in areas that they have sympathy with. Using troops from Texas in New York or LA will be more effective than using them in say, Iowa or Nebraska. Then you will start seeing some leave.
But make no mistake, they will follow orders. Don't count on the myth of moral superiority of the US military.
