First, the military and LEO's follow the orders of those appointed over them, and if the law calls for gun confiscation, then they WILL do as they are ordered and attempt to confiscate guns.

Period.

Second, house to house gun confiscation is simply not practical. While I can see selected areas of any given community being targeted and searched, I don't see this course of action being employed for EVERY home in the nation. I can see them trying to establish a "no later time" for turn in, after which, any firearms found would be grounds for criminal charges.

Regardless, execution of any confiscation policy would require an enormous amount of logistical support and assets that can certainly be disrupted by a determined group of citizens without resorting to directly targeting individuals that are tasked with carrying out such policies.

NO WE WON'T!!!! all of us will REFUSE unlawful orders PERIOD!!!

90 million Americans own guns. If 10% of them refuse to give them up, that's 9 million people. Where's the government going to put them all? I think outright confiscation will lead to civil war, and the government will lose in that case. 9 million motivated gun owners is about 7 times the total US military strength. Some of those military will not shoot Americans, and many of those 9 million are veterans of wars. The bloodbath would be horrible, and the government would not hold the moral high ground.

How about the outright confiscation during Katrina. Where were the 10% ?

Dunno... Are we sure 10% of gun owners didn't lie and say they didn't own any guns?
