Hypothetical question -
If there was gun confiscation, how would it be done? And by whom? Would Americans do it?
I remember thinking about this subject 10 years ago while up in a tree stand 30 feet above the ground and along a power line (could see about 1000 yards in each direction.) The thought was prompted by 15 helicopters flying overhead in a line one after the other headed somewhere. They were up too high to see 'em very well, but when sitting out on a deer stand all kinds of things go through my mind. It's a good time to think because there's nothing else to do.
Anyhow, my imagination somehow got the better of me, and in accordance with a healthy paranoia (and the Art Bell show), I was thinking foreign UN soldiers would be the ones to seriously attempt an uninhibited confiscation where killing may come into play. But this would be too easy, I was thinking, cause then law abiding Americans would not hesitate to defend themselves and would consider such a thing as gun confiscation as an act of war against them. So there's no way that would work.
On the other hand, how many law abiding American law enforcement and military folks are going to be keen on the idea of bringing war to their own neighbors and countrymen? I just don't see that happening.
The idea of gun confiscation, as presented by the helmet example is completely untenable imo. No law enacting confiscation can constitutionally be passed here without doing away with the second amendment. So what next? The US has not and wil not sign a global small arms treaty (UN.) And a treaty would be the only legal way to do it.
The letter is to the point and the concerns are valid. It probably does reflect how people here in Alabama feel about gun confiscation. However if you don't want it to happen, the best way is to join the NRA (National Rifle Association) and support them. Money speaks louder than words unfortunately, but it's a much better way.
