Less than 40% of people in New Zealand turned in their banned firearms after the Christchurch shootings.

But, I will argue over and over again, that the spirit of the fight just isn't in the people right now. It should be -- stopping tyranny before it can sprout is obviously the best option -- but revolutions are always reactionary, if they're organic.

And that's why you'll never see a mass gun confiscation; the manpower isn't there, and it will cause a bloody reaction.

What will happen is they'll institute bans on modern arms, they'll cripple the entire gun industry with regulation (killing a multi-billion dollar industry and putting even more thousands of people out of work), they'll regulate magazine capacity, and they'll institute mandatory buy-back programs to be rewarded with a rapidly-inflating currency that won't even cover the cost of many of the arms that would potentially be turned in.

A few choice targets will be made examples of, and they'll have myriad charges dropped on them to scare the rest of the populace into compliance.

We can only hope -- as miserable a solution as that is -- that the increased demand for arms among even people who are traditionally anti-gun will provide too much push back for the Dems to comfortably introduce gun control measures.
