The Feds aren't going to come to a National Rifle Association convention and start arresting people, at least not yet. And they aren't going to conduct door-to-door house searches, arresting gun owners and confiscating their firearms, either. Not yet.
But believe me, under the right circumstances, and with the right laws in place, the arrests will come. They'll come when you're going to work, or to the bank, or to the park with your kids, or a thousand other places. They'll come after you've used your now-illegal AR-15 to defend yourself against a home invader, or if they spot it during a "routine" home search.
Never, ever underestimate these people and the depth of their evil. Remember Cheka managed to fill Soviet gulags to the brim, and yet they did it quietly, with little fuss and even less armed revolt.
And they don't need to arrest everyone to make the majority obey. No, they only need a few, and word will spread quickly.
So what will you do, dear AR-15 owner when the 'Cheka" comes for your neighbor, and you know the laws are on the books to prosecute? Will a "buyback" and "amnesty" be enough to convince you to acquiesce? You've got a job, a wife, kids to raise. When they come and "take it", is your family worth risking?
No, when they take your guns there will be no civil war. There will be no large-scale revolution, because liberals are experts at pushing that Overton Window enough not to shock the system. Like frogs in water that's about to boil, people won't jump until it's too late.
That's why it's so important to not get complacent and believe a worse case scenario will never happen. That's why it's critical to fight the gun controllers' efforts to change the law at EVERY turn, using EVERY legal means possible.
Long before they "come and take our guns and take our freedoms."
The gist of this article is the purpose of more and more gun laws is to make law-abiding citizens exercising their constitutional rights criminals[/quote]
