It will not happen all at once. It will be done incrementally or not at all. The government will have to control communications before they could attempt wholesale confiscation, and every attempt to give them control of communications has been defeated so far. Try to tell the gen-x types that they should sit still and take Chinese style control of the Internet. If it is attempted, most of the technological savvy will be fighting it.

The primary fight is over communications, not guns. Guns are important, but as much for the attitude that they create as for the actual ability to shoot tyrants. Those who would enslave us hate the idea that people have that they *could* fight. It gives an independence of mind.

Here is an old but good one. The key to the government disarming the people is registration, and the attitude of the people has gotten more and more against registration:

Gun Registration is Gun Confiscation:

The problem the “progressive” statists have is that they know they are losing it. They have lost the debate on gun control, and sales of appropriate militia weapons are breaking records. They have lost the MSM oligopoly on information flow, more people are getting more truth than ever before. The slow trend toward tyranny has ground to a halt, and they have to push for all or nothing. If they lose the coming election, they have lost their chance for generations...

How desperate and delusional will they be? What incredible risks will they be willing to take??

This is why the gun grabbers incessantly push the gun show loophole myth.

If they can control your property and control the buying of that property they have everything locked up.

They still need to get people who purchase guns years ago to divulge what they have, but they will be cooking up a scam to justify that soon enough.
