It’s impossible to fathom why these people keep trying to disarm Americans (yes, I realize it’s essential for the imposition of a permanent dictatorship). But out of an estimated 400 million +/- guns, just how many do you imagine thry could actually confiscate (a few thousand maybe?). It’s like passing a law against eating or breathing or sex or playing football — only it seeks an unconstitutional end, too. Chances of citizen compliance - two percent tops?

Suppose the government announced today that all Americans have two weeks to turn in all firearms or face prosecution. That is it not really confiscation, merely a temporary but necessary measure due to mostly unnamed factors, and that the firearms would be returned within a short time frame. The public’s decisions would be influenced by the following:

1. Many new gun-owners own one firearm recently purchased out of fear of the unknown, and many barely know how to use it, if at all. Many have never fired their weapon, and to “temporarily” relinquish it would not be a hardship for them. This is a new thing, and all will be ok.

2. Most Americans still like to think that the government is actually there for their benefit, and that any act of “temporary gun inspection” is in their best interest. Most cling to the ideals of their youth or those of their forefathers, and still hold the US Government in high regard.

3. Many believe any real threat to national or local security can be best handled by the government.

Most Americans would willingly line up to turn in their weapons, still holding a misguided faith that all will be well. I really believe that AT LEAST half of all guns in America would be turned in, rather than their owners risking criminal charges.

Many would be hold-outs and risk the consequences, some actively resisting. The number of gun-owners who would actually resist, particularly armed resistance, would be astoundingly small compared to the bluster and bloviating done by millions of internet arm-chair Keyboard Kommandos.

Besides, what would YOU do if a SWAT team stood at your door with a warrant, or whatever is needed, to search your premises for weapons? Would you have a shoot-out with them? I doubt it. They would leave with every firearm in your house, and you would be left sitting and wondering what happened. Talk is cheap. Kudos to those who are prepared. Almost none really are.

No, it’s easy to explain. I can’t begin to tell you how terrified the NWO elitists are of armed citizens, a patriotic US military and veterans.
