If the government wants a civil war, this is how you get a civil war. At least, a bloody one. They may want a civil war, but not a shooting one because they know they would lose.

I believe if the left gained power (both houses of Congress and the Presidency), they would just legislate the shite out of gun ownership to make it as difficult and expensive as possible. They could possibly have a better chance with the Supreme Court going this route versus an outright ban, which wouldn't pass Constitutional muster.

If they were serious about doing this they would start with the ammo. Look at what the EPA hunted at doing during the Obama administration. Dems know that there is no way to actually confiscate all the guns that are owned by American citizens. However they can pass all sorts of laws regulating ammunition manufacturing and purchasing. This is also why the reloading industry skyrocketed during the Obama administration.

Yup.
The door to door sh!t is way off target, way over used and not thought through very well.

If gun confiscation were to happen first it would mean that DC had complete control of the media and its messages.
Gun owners would of course now be the enemy of all good Americans.
For those criminals in urban areas who refuse to turn in guns power and water are turned off long before door to door is needed.
If this doesn't work the IRS can confiscate all or partial wages and direct deposits via putting the screws to any employer who refuses(put out of business).
For those in rural areas away from the lights as it were you would see a more heavy handed process more quickly.

If you really want to know when gun confiscation will/could go down it will be the day after those in power completely control all flows of information via the press and the internet.

Till then the 2nd is in the hands of the people.
