Why would he do it himself when 90%(made up) of police officers are salivating about someday getting all kitted up using gear paid for by the people whos doors they are going to kick in ?
If you look at gun confiscation from a purely practical perspective - I think what would happen is that we'd end up with more than sufficient warning that it was happening.
Seeing as how there's something like 350 million guns in the country - as a practical matter there's simply NO way they're ever going to do a one day confiscation. It's just impossible.
They'll start with telling people to turn shit in.
Or they'll start with AR-15 bans (already did that - didn't they!?)
Then when people don't turn stuff in - they'll kick in some doors.
But even then - they can't kick in every single door of every single person who owns an AR-15. So there will be a "test" state. MA is probably high on the list - I hate to say.
As soon as doors start getting kicked in MA, all the people in every other state now have all the evidence they need to go full retard - ESPECIALLY if some of the door kickers are Feds.
Any of our fellow NES'ers from the former Eastern bloc should be able to explain what people do when the authoritaes institute a gun confiscatory regime: things just get hidden.
That's what 80% lowers are for - and garden shovels.
I don't remember where I read it - but way back when the Soviet Union imploded I read an article about what the general atmosphere was like after the fall. It pointed out that people were walking around everywhere with AK's slung over their shoulders. Where the hell do you think that came from? Go look at the videos on Youtube about "arms in the Ukraine wars " or "small arms during the Yugoslav wars". There's fighters carrying all sorts of leftover WW2 stuff. Where the hell do you think that came from?
People hide shit. Guns don't go away. The legality is the only thing that goes away.
If you're resting your logic for owning a gun on legality - you're not doing it correctly.
