“The Left thinks that they would have law enforcement and the military on their side, but they might be surprised to discover otherwise.”

My thoughts too. What the Left May not know is the rank and file LEO’s and the same with the military personnel, especially in the elite combat units, are conservative. And, because military service tends to be multi-generational (tradition of serving runs in families) it’s problematic that they would take action against their parents, grandparents, uncles, cousins, etc. don’t think it would happen...

Don’t you believe it. The left won’t have to fight, just convince young city boys and girls to do it for them. The South thought the same thing in 1861. Bad people are good at getting good people to do their fighting for them. I believe the military would side with the right, but you never know how things are going to shake out.

The answer is going to be all of their own.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956

The left will not shed a drop of their blood but would eagerly get every federal law enforcement officer and all US military personnel killed to confiscate firearms from American citizens.

If the Fed LEO’s and the military buck on disarming American citizens this crap dies a quick death. My money says for now, the DOJ/FBI clearly hold that laws are for the little people and you will comply with your betters. The fed leo’s would take huge casualties to try and disarm American citizens, and they would.

The wild card is the US military. Would they fire on US citizens. They did on the Bonus Marchers in the 1930’s so there is precedent. If they refuse to go along with confiscation the Fed leo’s quickly get taken out and this ends. If they go along with confiscation then it get real nasty real quick. Lots of death on both sides and something like Northern Ireland for decades.

[just convince young city boys and girls to do it for them]

How much food can they grow in those cities once it starts?

Just asking.

They’ll eventually turn on each other when the food runs out. In about 3-10 days.

“...whose minions have all the technological means of discovering who has the guns and extracting them with minimal fuss.”

That explains all the SWAT raids I’ve been seeing in my neighborhood.\s

Seriously, gun grabbers aren’t omnipotent. Sure, they’re slogging through mountains of paper 4473’s at the BATF record center and trying to create a master database of guns & owners (which is illegal since 1986). But 4473 only records point of retail sale.

My Dad told me, “in order to have a registration law, you must have a deregistration law”. Which is exactly what the gun grabbers want when they propose “universal background checks”. Record every transfer and you have registration. Then confiscation according to how the political winds blow.

But there is no registration law. Private unrecorded sales are legal and if the Senate & PDJT stand firm, those will stay that way.

This isn’t Britain, Australia, Germany or anywhere else in the world. Where are all the gun laws passed when the Dems controlled Congress & Obama had eight years to wield his executive order pen? Yes, states like CA, NY, NJ, MA, and now WA have gone fascist with FOID & registration of scary black rifles, but the noncompliance rate is so huge that the po-po fear going door to door.

I mean, you’re a cop turned out in full tacticool. But you can’t help assuming that behind every front door you’re about to knock on stands an AR-15 owner angry at being told that what was once legal is now illegal and that he is being treated like a felon. He ignores your repeated knocks.

Sure, bring on the battering ram, which will make the owner’s adrenalin skyrocket and at that point all bets are off.

You do like to go home at night, don’t you?

You learned the wrong lesson.

There was nobody home manning those weapons, with the knowledge that they were coming for their guns.

And once the “Progressives” perceive some type of injury, you’d be surprised how fast those who oppose them would become enemy of the state worthy of a ‘final solution’.
(For the common good, of course)

Hopefully Mr. Swawell is first.

The President should recall government-issued firearms and ammunition which was distributed to non-LEO individuals and combine with some of our Military’s surplus weapons from storage. This would allow an inventory which could be distributed to able-bodied Americans willing to join an officially sanctioned Federal militia. Guarantee the rights of these militiamen to own and maintain assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, military grade ammunition.

How much blood?

As much blood as bloodshed could if bloodshed would shed blood.

Real answer, every-single-one-of-us. Every man, woman, child, dog, you name it, he wants us dead.

A lot of the blood of others. Not much, if any, of theirs. As history has shown, they use idiots,the gullible, those wanting to get something for nothing, foolish dreamers, and others that they can seduce by their lies and treachery. After their drones and idiots have done the grunt work, they swoop down and reap the fruit of their labors. It worked for Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Castro.

“Not likely. They would be more subtle and plan the disarmament to occur over two or three generations. But the right circumstance... some of them are more than self-deluded enough to do it.”

This strategy of incrementalism might have worked, but the left became too self-confident in the inevitability of their path to control, and they showed their hand too soon. They can't put the genie back in the bottle. Their agenda and tactics are now common knowledge, and their ‘element of stealth and surprise’ is gone.

The bloodshed has begun. Gary J. Willis was killed by police in Maryland when they came to confiscate his guns under the state’s “Red Flag Law.”

This is how they plan on doing confiscation. The question is not what we are going to do when they come for our guns. The question is what are we going to do when they come for our neighbor’s guns.
