re: Taking our Guns.....how do they do it?

I lived in MA for 2 years. I’ll tell you, buying ammo required a card that is about like a regular CCL in terms of difficulty to get. You can’t just go into a store and buy ammo without it. On top of that they want you to register all guns. I eventually was able to get a CCL there, but it took several meetings with the police chief, letters of rec, etc. In order to shoot a gun, you have to go to an indoor range or join a gun club. To do that you needed to know 5 people in the club. If you are caught with a gun in your vehicle and don’t have a good reason for it plus it being completely locked, unloaded and in a separate locked case from the ammo, you are fricked.

Contrasting that with AR it was like another planet. As more states do that it’ll be a slow burn over time but they will get there.

Deep state family members to dem you unstable.

If we are not vigilant guns are at risk but it would have to be a multi-generational slide to get there. It can’t happen all at once Australia style in the US - yet. The left is doing an absolutely amazing job of making young people ignorant of our founding based on their control of education. I think that is part of the “college for everyone” drive we see. They don’t want to educate they want to indoctrinate.

If we are writing fiction, this is how it will happen.

Step 1: A federal gun registration system that has stiff penalties for non-compliance. If you are ever caught with a non-registered firearm, you face prison time and six figure fines.

Step 2: A massive government buy back program. The buy back program will pay more than many guns are worth (cash for clunkers) so there will be mass participation.

Step 3: A Supreme Court decision that overturns the 2nd Amendment. There are riots in a few areas, and demonstrations in a few others - but it only ends with arrests and no bloodshed.

Step 4: Enforcing the confiscation of guns. It will be done by local LEO and it will be paid for through massive grants that cities cannot turn down. People will be shot defending their home, but most people will ignore, as they were breaking the law. A few LEO programs will not participate ...

Step 5: Military confiscation. By then the military will be so dumbed down that they will follow these orders. You will hear of just a few old guard officers refusing and they will be retired.

By this point, you would have removed 90%+ of guns, which eliminates any threat.

I'll meet them at the door and hand over the single shot .410 that I registered.

Then they can move on to the next farm

Excellent idea...same. The one with the broken hammer.

little by little Over time nothing is left

They do it by following the recipe for boiling a frog.

They're already on Step 3 or 4

I don't know why anyone would downvote ANCs post.


I will add to that these "red flag" laws are pretty damn scary.

Everyone has seen, first hand or otherwise, how sinister people can be while going through a divorce, or when they are in a dispute with a neighbor etc. Not hard to imagine someone going to a secret tribunal out of spite.

Once a judge takes away your guns in an ex parte hearing, good luck getting them back.

No judge wants to be the guy who gives guns back only to have someone get shot an hour later.

The gun but back has gone disastrously in NZ. Of course, the govt and LE call that a success...

This article says only 225 guns turned in:
