I cannot imagine a US where ALL firearms were confiscated. It certainly is not a goal for Democrats. There are lots of people (not just conservatives) who are hunters, and many who live in places where they feel they need some protection. Making REASONABLE gun regulation is not the same as confiscating all guns. People who think this will happen are just paranoid.

Our biggest defense against totalitarian, repressive government is not each of us standing at the ready with an armory of guns. Our best defense in the ballot box. When we protect everyone's right to vote, when we provide for a well educated, involved pubic, that will ensure our freedoms much more effectively than a load of automatic weapons.

Should this ever possible occur many of us will be labeled outlaws. So be it.

No, we would just make our own guns.
It is not that hard for anyone with a mechanical edge.

I'll just note all the means of protection you list require far greater proximity to your attacker(s) than a gun. And no, not meant in any way to disparage gun ownership, just to note the apples & oranges being compared here.

First, who will know I have 3 guns. They re not registered. I could bury them in my neighbor's yard. Who would know?

If in the imaginary scenario all guns were gone, I'd keep a taser and a big can of wasp spray handy.

Guaranteed they would never get all my guns.

Here is a scenario that will have a Liberal fall in a heap to the floor and crawl off to a safe space to cry...


If guns in America were banned a black marker would pop up and guns would be coming in from the Southern border.

The quandary that would make a Liberals head burst? Do we build a wall to stop the illegal guns from coming in?

People yes, guns no.



If the Liberals were smart they would let Trump build his wall to prevent illegal guns from flooding our streets. The illegal guns only come to America to aid in the crimes that Americans are incapable of doing with a knife or pointed stick...
