If they ever outlawed guns in the US, you'd have a nation of outlaws and there wouldn't be enough jails to hold everyone!
I wonder how they would actually go about collecting firearms of otherwise law-abiding citizens of the United States.
I've lived in the South most of my life. States like Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. I've personally met plenty of people that will not surrender their firearms under any circumstances.
Martial Law? They are not going to care. Even if the Federally Appointed "Firearm Recovery" teams are dressed head to toe in Kevlar, there will still be a high casualty rate among the teams.
Now just in case someone that plans to enact said laws outlawing firearms in the US is reading this and is starting a list of potential "problem civillians". I am not condoning stockpiling tungsten or teflon coated ammo and body armor. I'm just pragmatic enough to know that Ruby Ridge and Waco will be played out over and over and over again.
It's a uniquely American frame of mind. Anything that we regard as a freedom, will not be taken without a fight.
