I know the meaning of "confiscation" and "attrition." And I agree with you that forcing mass compliance would be problematic today.
If you have no problem with Hillary's attitude toward the second amendment, or have no concern about the government effort to somehow get guns out of the hands of the public, that's fine with me. I laid out what I think the future holds, whether Hillary is leading the charge this generation, or some other despot 20, 50 or more years from now. No country stands up to the passage of time, and the USA is not immune. Your bluster dies when you do. Mine too, when I do.
OK, we agree that Hillary will if elected be the biggest gungrabber yet seen in the WH. Didn’t say successful gungrabber, because Obama’s one & he has failed miserably.
BTW, no one’s yet predicted how the balance in Congress will turn out in November. Strange omission, IMO.
“No country stands up to the passage of time, and the USA is not immune.”
Is its decline and fall inevitable? I’m not as pessimistic; unlike Obama I believe in American exceptionalism. And I quit reading dystopia novels decades ago.
I was forced in school to read Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Long, boring & depressing; in the essay exam I wrote “ancient Romans were known to say, `Mehercule, hoc quidem lapsus et ruina est!’”
(”Indeed, this really is a decline and fall!”)
Anyway, the more googling I do, the less powerful those who seek gun confiscation really appear to be. That pesky Constitution is one of their greatest frustrations. And speaking of which, read the comments at gun control discussion sites by the gungrabbers. Geez, you never saw such language!
