“We’ve been assured by Democrats, and their media lackeys, that it is absolutely impossible to find and deport eleven million illegal aliens, and that any discussion of the subject is absurd.
Yet, from these same mouths we’re asked to believe that finding, and forcibly confiscating, sixteen million ‘assault weapons’ can be easily done.” ~ Sweeney
We’ve seen this movie before.
Democrats in CT and NY have decided to require registration of “scary rifles,” and magazines, with the obvious goal that they will all be forcibly confiscated in the near future.
Problem is: Since this requirement was imposed, compliance has been exiguous!
American citizens, even in CT and NY, are extremely resistant to this leftist tyranny.
Predictable reaction by Democrat governors in both states:
Radio silence…
They are frightened to death of questions like, “so, what are you going to do about this massive, defiant non-compliance?”
The liberal media, of course, won’t ask such embarrassing questions.
Liberal politicians in New Zealand are currently confronted by the same “problem.”
Americans own, keep, and bear well in excess of 300 million guns. Liberals naively think they can all be easily rounded-up, as their owners will cheerfully surrender them, … as they watch Democrat politicians, of course, remain armed.
Again, we’ve seen this movie before.
“All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The Communist Party must command all guns.” ~ Mao Tse Tung

And who will be tasked with the confiscations? That is never articulated. Likely because they wouldn’t be able to purchase life insurance; not to mention the resignations that would ensue.
If only that were true….. Judging by the LEOs I am exposed to via my family, most of these guys will fall right in line. Sad, I know…
That said, we will win this the same way the North Vietnamese won Vietnam. Grab them by the belt buckle, and let them get tired of coffins. It works every time. As we speak, Iraq is back where it started, and soon the taliban will reclaim Afganistan, the “talks” have begun…..
@Some, Why not just move to the country? Moving out into the country is moving away from federal, state, and municipal bureaucrats … the air is much fresher.
I believe of the perks included with pay are life insurance and medical for police. Those who resign or dismissed will be replaced with larger numbers. Mutiny is always possible.
Gun confiscation via the red flag laws is gaining traction. Perhaps it’s a science experiment to see how real people would react when law enforcement comes to your door to take your guns. Any “gun owner USA” could easily be labeled a threat and with red flag laws there is no due process. The system doesn’t have to be right when the cops go to the wrong house. Sometimes we hear about those killed defending their rights but not those who willingly give up those rights. What could be more convenient for a government that has now abandoned the Constitution?… Read more »
ERPOs are NOT “gaining traction”. The only ones who think that are the ones that get their information from CNN and the other dinosaur media. If you pay attention to the facts, instead of to the left’s rhetoric, you would know that that just isn’t so.
I guess the term “gaining traction” means different things to different people. I live in California and it was one of the first states to enact red flag. As they say, “As California goes, so does the rest of the nation” As for your comments, these are some of the states that jumped on the bandwagon. Where do you get your facts? Before 2018, five states had some version of red flag laws. After the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, in 2018, that number more than doubled, as more states enacted such laws: Florida, Vermont, Maryland, Rhode… Read more »
From my cold dead hands. No compromise!
“Go to the hardware store and sporting goods and find form 4473.”
Saw that movie too, and it dis not go well for the bad guys there, either.
