Not for 99% of them, probably. In America that leaves what, around 100,000 who will put up a fight?

If they are so mentally unstable that they would try to shoot up places when faced with increased gun control measures, they shouldn't have guns in the first place.
Isn't that Cap'n Awesome's point? That rather than try to confiscate those guns after they're in the hands of someone unstable, they should be prevented from acquiring them in the first place?

You have to pass a psych eval to get a firearm permit in Romania.

That can be arranged if it's so their wish.
I'd take their hands, too. Make great wall gun racks if they're preserved right, and the irony factor would be LOLbaby.
As opposed to those who would destroy the country to take their fucking toys away?

There'd probably be a few that hid guns or got extra pissy, but I don't think they'd start a huge shootout, for the most part. This is really demonizing vets with PTSD. I've spent decades of my life around groups of vets with PTSD. They have anxiety, not insanity.
I think your mileage with the ones who join militias might vary.

About 30-35% of American households have one or more guns, and most of them will turn over their guns peacefully rather than take on the authorities. That will only leave a few thousand little Waco scenarios. And sure, there will be some cops killed and some collateral damage, but it'll be worth once those gun owners are all disarmed or dead. It shouldn't affect you personally, because no one you personally care about owns a gun. And afterwards, America will heal right up, just like we did after the Civil War.
Nobody wants a civil war. That is not what liberals want.
I was addressing specifically those on this thread fantasizing about forcibly disarming the subset of American gun owners who will forcibly resist being disarmed, no matter how many of them die in the process. I would hope they are an insignificant minority. I also hope they're not serious.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
