...they can go around and target the most radical people first. Their will be incidents of course, but most people wont hear about them, and if they do, they will get the press to present the incidents as fanatical right wingers going off the deep end.

You're just raving now. The scenario you envision isn't possible in this, or any alternate universe.

Can you wrap your head around the the number 1,000,000? That's one million. For perspective, dividing that number by 365 (days) works out to 2,739 years, which is over 700 years before the birth of Christ.

Now try to wrap your head around the number 150,000,000. That's the number of American gun owners, which works out to over 400,000 years, if each person represents a single day.

Are you beginning to get a sense of the scale of what we're talking about?

If you've got even a modicum of active logic circuits in your brain, it's easy to see that it's not possible to confiscate the legal weapons from so many millions of people.

Sorry. Can't be done.

I’m not suggesting at all that they will be successful. I am saying they will try.
