Assuming the worst case judicial scenario followed by a few dozen worst case scenarios at the state level, would most Americans go quietly through involuntary disarmament? What is your (asking everyone) sense on how far gone the people are from the notions that founded the country? IOW, aside from political backlash (voting for the ‘other’ party, woopdeedoo), do the powers that be have anything to fear if such a policy was enacted?

I don’t think that your God-fearing, freedom-loving, well-armed patriots would stand for a unilateral grab of their right to defend themselves.

You have got to be kidding me. Most? More like hardly any. There are a lot fewer gun owners in this country than 40 years ago, but they are much more passionate about their rights than previously.

Involuntary disarmament programs will make Iwo Jima and Tarawa look like country walks in the park.

Considering the laws that have been passed in California (including microstamping) without revolt, I doubt the majority of gun owners are ready to resist involuntary disarmament. I hope I'm wrong.

If revolt does come, I don't expect to see it in the form of "to the barricades." If it comes, I expect it will be in the form of lots of individuals sniping at anti-gun politicians and bureaucrats.

I don't know. I guess it would be the manner of disarmament. If law enforcement came to homes and tried to take them (ala New Orleans during Katrina), it would get REALLY ugly. If there were a proclomation that owners had to turn them in, people wouldn't.

I'd probably move to a state that was the least restrictive, but no one is taking my rights or ability to defend my family and myself.

IMO they do. IF those of us willing to fight for our Second Amendment rights are able to set aside what will become petty differences by comparison and organize. Remember this is coming during a public frenzy (for undercaffeinated lack of a better word) over border security and during a war on terrorism.
