In the Progressive universe, all the costs of gun confiscation will be borne by gun owners. All the blood shed, will be shed by gun owners. All the risk will be on gun owners.

In the Pregressive Universe, the actual risks associated with government attempting to steal guns from We the People will fall on hirelings in blue uniforms, not on the cowardly politicians.
Does Chuck Schumer have the guts to show up at your front door and demand that you surrender your guns to him? How 'bout Diane Feinstein? Hillary Clinton? Any of that lot?
Of course they don't. They're cowards.

And what would a mass seizure look like? Very... red.

I see a lot of dead politicians. Must be in your dreams. In my dreams, I see politicians giving most Americans the middle finger. I would wager my dreams are far closer to reality, if not on the mark.

Notice how liberals rename their communist ideas when they aren’t popular? Gun control now “gun safety”. Global Warming now “climate change”. Socialized medicine now “single payer”.
Liberals never change their GOALS, they just try to find a name you’ll like.

They would run out of “confiscators” before the end of the first day.

Ultimately, the Globe admits that massive gun confiscation is not possible, at least now, at least not directly.
Which means they will be using indirect means of confiscation now, leading to more direct means later.

If you think the 3 percenters will passively wait for confiscators to come to their door, once hostilities start, you are not looking at a reasonable reality.
Politicians like Chuck Schumer will need massive security details and have to live like Saddam Hussein, because they will never know who might be one of three million assassins wanting to take him out.
Most of those people know more about killing than Schumer ever considered.

If the left ever passes gun confiscation it’ll be a good day to call in sick at the Boston Globe.

Aren’t non criminals like a million more times more likely to die in an auto wreck or a slip in a shower than being shot?

....And what would a mass seizure look like? It is called civil war - that is what it would look like. Remember the British tried that back in the 1700's.

Anyone in a blue or black uniform who carries out such an order in defiance of their oath deserves whatever happens to them.

The gun ban hasnt worked so well in Australia as gun crime still exists and well armed terrorists have been apprehended. Only the law abiding Aussie has been disarmed

In the United States, I think the only place gun confiscation might be possible (Constitutional and legal objections aside) would be the darkest blue inner cities (think San Francisco, Boston Etc) where such actions would have not only have massive public support but a draconian liberal law enforcement willing to "kick in the doors" and "bust heads" to enforce compliance. Many gun owners would turn in their guns out of fear....
However...as soon as you got out of those areas, enforcement and compliance would plummet precipitously. In rural red states the populace would thumb their nose at confiscation and actively work to sabotage the process, and most rural law enforcement would simply refuse to even try.

If you think the 3 percenters will passively wait for confiscators to come to their door, once hostilities start, I do not think that for an instant.
But that's not the point. The point is that Chucky hasn't the guts to actually DO what he wants to LEGISLATE.

Cultural Marxism always repackages what crap hasn’t been sold by it yet. They never give up. They only accept a “yes” vote and never give anyone a second vote once they’ve got it.
