Comply? yes
Leave the country? yes

Bad guys who like guns will not comply. Guns will be in the wrong hands, and none in the right...

You know, Big Bother may be watching this so, I don't think I want to reply!

I would. :plain:







....And there is no way I'd have an AK47 with 1200 rounds of ammo buried in a 6"X4' length of capped PVC pipe buried next to the water line. :nono:

I think this is one of those issues that might actually cause a civil war in this country (if the government tried to confiscate all guns).

Or... would the people just lay down and let it happen thinking "oh... it's not that big of a deal"?

It would be difficult to say. Confiscating all weapons would spell disaster for America. It is one of the harbingers of a dictatorship. Germany disarmed its citizens around World War II and you see what it did one one segment of its population--the Jews. Taking guns away from law abiding citizens is a recipe for disaster.

Absolutely not. Gun ownership is too engrained in this country, probably more so than any other in the world, for people just to meekly hand over their weapons. Some would. The vast majority wouldn't even consider it.

Plus, if it was a matter of authorities going to house to house, well...I'd say after about a week there'd be very few takers for that job. Enforcement would be simply impossible.

How true.

Without exception, every major, horrific, dictatorial leader has made the confiscation of citizens' weapons one of their first priorities. Tyrants know that they can only push their agendas if the people cannot defend themselves and their rights.

In the old days I'd agree with you here. However totalitarianism has gotten increasingly sophisticated (I'd argue we're already a police state in everything but name) and it's not necessary to do it like the old days. It's subtler. What's worse: having a government outright disarm you, or having a government so deeply entrenched, so powerful and corrupt, that it doesn't need to even bother? Let the serfs keep their guns--they don't pose a real threat.

That's a great example of things I don't have any where around here.
Nope.
Nothing like that.
