re: What stops the government from coming door to door and making you surrender your guns

Confiscating all guns would have such a detrimental effect on this country that we would probably never recover from it. It's not like the only guns taken will be guns that are typically thought of as murder weapons. You're talking about hunting weapons also which generate billions of dollars of revenue for federal and state governments not to mention billions in salaries of people who work in the industry.

Overall, hunting in the United States generates $25 billion dollars in retail sales and more than $17 billion dollars in salaries and wages each year, while creating sales tax, and state and federal income tax revenues for government agencies and public services of all kinds.

On the tax revenue side, hunter dollars generate $5.3 billion federally and $3.4 billion in state and local taxes. It also supports as many as 525,000 jobs both in and out of the outdoor industry to the tune of $21.5 billion in salaries and wages.
