Look at the difference between population numbers. Besides, the perpetrator in the New Zealand massacre was Australian. Banning/confiscating firearms in America is a fantasy.
Even if, by some miracle, firearm possession became a felony........................there'd be 300,000,000 new felons. Who's gonna lock them up and where would they keep them?
The army of the new right.

You're paranoid. The government does not have the manpower or resources to confiscate 330 million guns from 137 million armed Americans.
You really think the most powerful country in the world could not, under martial law, confiscate all the guns from the people "with a fight"? Really, that's some amazing reasoning.

Not so fast. Law abiding citizens will become criminals if the Government comes for their guns. This "government" would have to be full of people devoid of common sense, which means those who elected them would be equally devoid of reasoning.
After decades and decades of conditioning against any sort of gun control " it's the opening salvo in the effort to take your guns!!! ", the vast majority of gun owners wouldn't think twice about defying the government. This fear of confiscation is unreasonable and not based on ANY fact.
The majority of law enforcement officers own guns privately and would likely refuse to enforce such a ridiculous law. If the Gov. turned to the military to begin confiscation, they'd discover that the majority of military personnel are gun owners who would be equally reluctant to try and enforce such a law. Besides, trying to use military personnel would be illegal, and good luck trying to get State Governors to lend their National Guard to such an effort.
Guns are here to stay, no matter what Government/judges think about the matter.

With all my heart, I hope you are right. If and when we lose guns, we become subjects. I just don't believe the younger generations understands that. Give up one gun and hide guns of which there is no record. Look for a resistance group to be a part of and try to make a difference. Don't commit suicide be being an i***t.
'Try to think rationally'
are you capable of doing that?
Case in point!!!

You are a waste of Oxygen (O2)
Man Made C*****e C****e, which started out to be Man Made G****l W*****g; is BS
But if you really believe in that; you must believe in Agenda 21; reduce the human population by 50%.
You should do your part and volunteer.

OK, no doubt that some percentage of the 137 million gun owners in the US will "roll over", but even if 25% of them won't, that's 34 million--many of these are veterans. With a total of 4 million employees, including the armed forces, the government simply doesn't have the manpower and resources to deal with that many. A very small percentage of government employees are LE, something like 150,000.
Now, explain what is and is not an "easy target".
Question is: whose side are you on? Are you one of those pull toys who'd welcome socialist despotism? Or, are you just a wimp who'd "roll over"?

Just so you know, it wouldn't be socialism taking over it'd be the authoritarian at the helm that would be. The key here is to maintain our constitutional government at all cost.

Socialism and authoritarianism go hand in hand in progression. You are right, we must maintain our constitutional government, including of course the Bill of Rights

The most powerful country in the World cannot prevent millions of i******s from pouring over it's Southern border. The most powerful country in the World is too stupid to put up a fence. The most powerful country in the World is half ruled by the most stupid critters walking the Earth today. AKA Democrats.
But maybe you are right. One thing Democrats are good at is grabbing guns. WaIt, wait, they are good at silencing free speech. Wait, wait, wait, they are good at calling unborn babies non humans. Wait, wait, wait, wait they are really really good at allowing Men who think they are Women into women's restrooms, and letting them defeat women in women's athletics.

If you honestly think our military would become hostile towards the citizenry, we’ll have to have a long conversation. The mindset of most volunteer service members is protecting people. You could make a point using Kent State, but I’m confident that situation was an aberration. Even if you got every military member to follow that kind of order, they’re still heavily out numbered, and it would be counter productive to use unconventional weapons. This hypothetical is hardly even worth discussion.
You seem irritable this morning, hope all is well. Grab some coffee...
Thank you, but what does Morgan say ?
