DOJ memo on gun confiscation has been verified & confirmed

[brutal]

And the clock on the wall says.......

?

[Zundfolge]

On the one hand it's nice to have it all in writing so you can smack down those "Nobody want's to take your gun" idiots, but on the other hand this is kind of a "well duh" moment for those of us who have said complete gun confiscation has been the goal if these bastards since before 1934.

Reading it shows that's it's not Exactly intent to. It says gun control is a waste without. more of a written map of known facts with assumed goals

Everyone who has a latent or lingering fear that one day this may happen, just know one big detail that most overlook: who would be enforcing this? More than likely, just because of sheer numbers involved, it would be local (state, city and county) law enforcement. I'll say this much, not gonna happen anytime soon. Most LE won't even consider this option viable- it's basically a suicide mission. And before people get into the whole "If they wanna keep their jobs" or "they'll do their jobs, money is a bigger motivator" etc. etc. ad nauseum, there are so many in District Attorney's offices who preach the importance to adhere to the Constitution above all else- especially when speaking with sworn officers- that there is no way anyone in the justice system would stand for anything that is such a blatant violation of the Constitution. Every cop I've talked to, prior to and during the academy, has said that they'll hang up their holster and badge before trampling the Constitution... but more likely is a huge push back against those who would even try this crap. Rest easy- not going to happen anytime soon, especially on my watch.

I think DOJ and local LEO's who come to confiscate or register guns would face Admiral Yamamoto's dilema about invading mainland U.S.

yea. the article Howe wrote elaborates the details a bit but youve got the punchline

I don't think DHS would have the same qualms as the average cop or soldier.

Nor would TSA.

That said, I don't think an outright confiscation order is in the cards any time soon.

While I agree with what you said, I propose that what you've presented isn't the only option in carrying out such a confiscation plan. When considering how such a thing like this could occur, one must not be 'stuck' in the confines of the 'here and now'... I believe that the conditions for such an event will be much, much different than exists today, and the players will be very different with different emblems, nationalities and dialects.

they will confiscate guns whenever they want and I bet 90-95% of American gun owners give them up quietly. American gun owners are LAW ABIDING people who have lived comfortable lives. They arent ready to live like afghans and give their lives.

sorry, but its what I believe to be true.

There won't be any mass confiscation effort where "they" (again, who really would "they" be?) will go door to door. That won't work here, that would just incite massive resistance. Instead, they're going to continue along the path they have been for the last, what? 80-something years... Bit by bit, little by little, incremental destruction of the 2nd Amendment. Eventually, if they are not met with resistance (meaning we don't lobby and pressure our law makers to not allow another inch- if possible) they will achieve passing enough legislation to overall outlaw in the same regard as Aus and UK. But there will be no massive roundup where "they" come to your house to collect your guns.

I also think there will be a tipping point where either some legislator or supreme court justice will say "woah, this is infringing upon the Constitutional rights of the people, it cannot be allowed." Or we'll decide we've had enough and push back- legally of course.
