Wait and see how long before they start going door to door & searching every stopped vehicle.

Without registration and without warrants, confiscation could wind up just like Katrina.

Yes indeed. ( and With registration and “warrants,” confiscation attempts could end up just like Hiroshima. I’d hate to be the poor bureaucrat or officer that tried it, ha!)

“...they start going door to door & searching every stopped vehicle...”

That won’t go or end well.

“They” haven’t got the gut for that.

Funny thing, the Katrina gun confiscations only happened in areas where the cops felt comfortable that they wouldn't be opposed, and where the residents were totally off-balance due to flooding and all the worries that came with it. The people along the outer edge of the "saucer" where the houses didn't flood - the confiscators left them alone. Many of those people didn't evacuate, and sat out on their front porches with AR-15s across their laps. The cops just drove by and waved.

City-wide or regional confiscation would require martial law to even attempt, and martial law is untenable when the people are angry instead of frightened. New Orleans is a fairly small city, geographically confined by waterways - and they still couldn't fully lock it down even with cops volunteering from all over the country.
