It would be relatively easy to confiscate the guns in the US, if the WRONG people get in power. They would "legally" pass a unconstitutional law making semi-automatic firearms illegal with a harsh fine AND stiff mandatory federal prison sentence.
That would take the wind out of sails of those of us in the "out of my cold dead fingers crowd". I mean in our Red Dawn scenarios of having a fire fight against troops in our front yard with a hammer & sickle emblem on their uniform. It would be a so-called law that was "legally" passed and most of us sheep would comply. We would pacify ourselves that "Well, they did let us keep our lever action 30/30`s and 870 pump 12ga"....and the slippery slope begins a doped up kid would commit the same slaughter with a legal Remington shotgun as previously was done with a AR-15. And then they would come for the shotguns too.
