Most, people do follow orders UNTIL? The until is shrouded in mystery. In most cases, it is not one action that causes everyone to stand up and be counted. The American colonists’ breakup with the British Empire in 1776 wasn’t a sudden, impetuous act and I expect that would be the case now.
If DC decides to go gun-grabbing many of the police departments across would do nothing more than accept weapons that are turned in and, of course, very few citizens actually hand over their weapons. At this point, D.C. would have no choice other than to accept that gun confiscation is impossible, or hire goon squads in local communities to go house to house to confiscate weapons.
Unfortunately, people would die on both sides. Liberals would cheer.
The response to this from liberals would probably be something like, “Well, that certainly didn’t happen in Australia.” Very true, but what most liberals believe Australia did and what it actually did are very different. All Australia did accomplish was reduce gun ownership by 22%. How much of a difference would that make in America where there are 101 guns for every 100 citizens and open borders that would allow illegal weapons to stream in if there were ever a large-scale demand for them? A new market for the cartels is all you get.
If you want to turn ordinary American citizens into “freedom fighters” against an abusive government, try to take their guns and it will work about as well as anything else you can imagine.
If really came down to brass tacks, reckon wonder which way the police and military would go?
History says most will follow orders.

I'm tired of having the gun control lobby looming over us constantly. It shouldn't exist at all.
