Gotta love all the tough talk and bravado here. Unfortunately, if they wanted your guns all they would have to do is engineer a rash of public shootings and put the talking heads on TV to work......after that most of the sheeple would be begging to turn them in.
After that, those who resisted would be branded domestic terrorists and would have to deal with highly trained and better equipped government.
Let's not underestimate their cleverness when it comes to controlling the masses. They have centuries of practice.
Man, that's morbid. I apologize for it and hope I am wrong.

Your a quack...I will die for my country and never submit. EVER!
Here's the deal when that time comes. Your choice is either fight, and probably be killed, or surrender to certain death.
It's not academic - I've faced that choice, and let me tell ya, it's a sinking feeling.
why does the govt know you have a gun(s) when you can buy used from private owner, no paperwork, no waiting period, pay cash.
besides govt gun confiscation will create a larger blackmarket,
people will be making homemade zipguns

I love how the idiots would die for the ability to have guns...they would risk the lives of their family and friends just so they can have a few guns.
If guns actually helped you in any way to control the government than you wouldn't be on here complaining about how your government is screwing you...so basically your whole argument of having guns to protect yourselves from the tyrannical government falls apart when you claim they are taking rights from you left and right.
There are some who actually keep guns for the protection and then the internet tough guys ( you know the ones...my cold dead hands people) are just afraid to lose their manhood.

I agree, but the majority of people just will not believe the last part ``fight now or surrender to certain death`` or enslavement. People will just NOT believe this. They don't know history. They don't know who really run this world. ``It cannot happen here`` they will think.
It's not academic - I've faced that choice, and let me tell ya, it's a sinking feeling.
And you were trained for it and you were already somewhat ``prepared`` for it. The general public is NOT... not at all.
But like you say, veterans know and are prepared. If there's any armed resistance movement in the US at some point, it's gonna be from veterans and active military. They need not to die, but to disappear into the wilderness and TRAIN people into being effective 5th columns.

Resistance is futile. You can kill a few cops who are just doing their jobs, but more will come, and with bigger guns, so what would be the point of resisting? The people who they send are not the culprits, fighting them will get you nowhere, and by killing them you are hurting their families and friends. Don't fight fire with fire.

Not really a concern since I don't have any guns. Not that this is an excuse for complacency mind you, I just simply don't have any guns at the moment. We would like to get a gun, my hubby has talked about getting a shot gun. My oldest son has a pellet gun and we have air soft guns, but not real guns.
What if someone were to buy an unregistered gun, how would they even know you had one to come and take it from you? I'm sure that is probably illegal though isn't it? I'm not in the know when it comes to these things. But my oldest son wants to learn how to hunt and it would be handy to actually have a gun to hunt with I guess. (we live in the Colorado foothills).
Its always the folks from the UK that mouth away about what they had and got taken away.
