85 “certifications” so far? That’s like one residential block in terms of number of actual firearms.

France, 1935, Pierre Laval, first time in history of France, decreed the registration of firearms . . . records from the Ardennes reflect that few complied . . . which caused suspicion, in 1938, only 2 citations for failure registered in the Ardennes . . . 1939 it was noticed that registration failed to prevent acquisition . . . 1939 law prohibiting defensive arms . . . then the Germans came . . . registrations led to confiscations and possession soon became a capital offense . . .but then again, only cowards complied . . . underground caches were numerous, well protected in the countryside . . . "Anyone in possession of firearms, amunition, hand grenades, explosives, or other war material . . . shall receive the death penalty or hard labor, or, in less serious cases, jail" Collaborateurs Pétain and Laval press on . . .

No, but it worked BEFORE the Nazis were defeated.

I’m not anti-LEO, but for all those who say our LEOs WON’T enforce such orders, the Maryland tragedy is a case in point. They were enforcing a court otder. Add in the fact that recent history has shown us that there are a few cops out there who shouldn’t even go NEAR a gun and a badge, and you can start to see the holes in the theory that cops would NEVER enforce orders to confiscate. Unfortunately, I doubt there’s a shortage of people who will be willing to do as theyre told. If not the current force, then newly hired. Leftists defy the Constitution all the time, and they frequently get away with it.

BULLSH!T; that whole strip down from Boulder to Denver all the way down to Colorado Springs has been known to be a QUEER, HIPPIE, PROG/LIB/DEM cesspool since the mid 1960’s.
I have relatives that left the area in 1967 just to get away from all the home grown FREAKS.
Don’t blame other states for your own home grown University of Boulder, Fort Collins, Denver, Colorado Springs, etc, problems.
You grew your own freaks in your own universities.

You’re Absolutely correct,
They tried it Once .
The Government began to
Disarm the “Subjects”.
The Revolutionary war began.
But Wait,a second example,
A battered old Church,
The Alamo.
Might I also point out a Third,
a
town named Goliad were
The Flag
with the Words;
“COME AND TAKE IT”
are emblazoned
under a Canon.
Yes ,they would Die instead of
Give up the Guns but it is
The Cost of FREEDOM!
