I just don't know at this point as I haven't had time to analyze it and had never heard of the writer before. But many of the points mentioned in this thread are covered. If y'all have more background on the blogger (TexasFred) I'm interested.

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% ?
