...if the cops pull up to your house with an armored vehicle I think most would comply.

Sure, if we're only talking about one house. How would the government go about disarming a whole block? A whole neighborhood? A whole city? A whole state?

Its ludicrous to even contemplate. The manpower for such a thing does not exist.

Also consider - if the government were to target the entire population in that way, it would be seen by one and all as the ultimate act of treason, and would compel an overwhelming response of force by the citizens.

It will and sooner than most think.

They'll try the carrot and stick approach first and try to buy you out. Then they'll use armored vehicles on the holdouts who they will crush piecemeal and without mercy.

They're just going to come to your house.

Here's how it's going to go down.

First thing that's going to happen will be a gun ban. It'll happen by popular referendum. Put an assault weapon ban on the ballot and every minivan-driving soccer mom will vote for it.

It'll go through the courts. Better hope RBG has been replaced because Roberts has already demonstrated that he doesn't believe SCOTUS should save voters from themselves. An assault weapons ban is ruled constitutional by a 5-4 majority.

Now what to do about them? The government isn't stupid. They're not going to start kicking down doors. Yet.

They'll have a buyback followed by an amnesty, followed by draconian penalties for non-compliance. Get caught with an illegal firearm and you'll go to prison. You'll never hold a job. You'll never be able to borrow money. You'll never get any professional license. Have kids? The state will take them away. Give them to a gay or tranny family.

So SWAT shows up at your door. How did they know you weren't in compliance? There was a tip line. Earn $1000 bucks. Someone tipped them off. They kick in your door.

Do you think your neighbors are going to come running out, guns blazing, "Molon Labe!!! Molon Labe!!!"

Probably not.

They've made an example of you.

There will be another amnesty. And repeat.

Recall how much chaos two guys in an old beater in Virginia, one annoyed cop in Los Angeles, and two guys in Boston caused.
