On a small scale, taking guns from a drug dealer here or a guy without a permit there, could be rationalized -- "its for our own protection," "this guy was bad news," "there is a warrant on this guy." But if they realize that it is part of a diabolical master plan, if they are handed a map of an entire county and told to ignore paperwork, ignore permits, ignore the constitution on a national scale, I think a lot of them would rebel.
I disagree. These disarmaments on a small scale are for the very purpose of training them to not question disarmaments on a larger scale.
See the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Some peace officers will refuse, I’m sure; their law enforcement “brethren” will retaliate, and some patriots will lose their lives when that happen.
If they aren’t balking now, most of them will not balk later. They will be told it’s too late; they already took the federal funding; they had better follow orders if they want to remain on the federal teat.
I would suspect that same from the called-up National Guard. "I'm not gonna get my azz shot off - I'm a pharmacist [fill in the blanks] for Chrissakes!"

Sure, which is why they won’t be told to do that. They’ll be told to do it in increments or because its an emergency.
They’ve normalized many behaviors which were completely unacceptable not too long ago. As long as they have power they will work towards their goal.
