    It would stop being “gun control” and start being “disarming the opposition” – i.e., the precursor to a purge.

      It could happen, but in this country, I doubt it. If it happens in this country it will be like getting an abortion or voting: put up too many arbitrary, inconvenient hurdles and people just won’t exercise the right to begin with.

          Oh I believe it.

          But when our people couldn’t stay at home in total comfort for three weeks without clamoring for a hair cut, you’ve got to count me a little skeptical that they’ll have the patience for war after they encounter their first empty grocery store, not to mention the thousands of missile-equipped drones that their AR-15’s are insufficient to destroy.

          Germans at least had an understanding of war. Americans do not, and that is why it’s unlikely to happen here, at least that’s my thoughts on the matter.
