Then I did some research through the miracle of the internet. This is America; the sheer raw centralized power backed by legions of Federal enforcers to carry out confiscation just isn’t there.

Indeed. It would take turning the US military against US citizens.... even IF the US military would obey such an unlawful order.

And that would make Afghanistan look like an 11-year-old's birthday party.

Because, you see, Tom, Dick, Harry, and Ron all have different responses.

Tom will be easy.

Dick has his firearms hidden very well.

Harry has a bunker.

But RON, now RON, he’s different. He will not wait for the battle to come to him. *HE* will choose the terms of HIS engagement with those who would confiscate.
