Start with.Voting Records.
Those of us who own guns, particularly those who own unregistered guns have long opposed mandatory registration on the grounds that these records are a roadmap for liberals to confiscate guns eventually.
First let us consider. Gun ownership is still high but remember, only 32% of Americans are gun owners. And this percentage is falling. Guns are becoming less popular with the masses. But check this out.
61% of Republicans live in a gun household while only 31% of Democrats and 38% of Independents do!
That, my gun owning friends, is what is called the double whammy. Remember that famous bank robber who was asked why he robbed banks? He replied, "Because that is where the money is." Where do you go search for guns?
In a general takeover who will the military go after? Registered Republicans would be the obvious choice. Sure we could theoretically resist but we also have to admit that our political power is fading. The US is becoming less our kind of people and more the others.
And the answer is not armed resistance. That is a losers game. Putting our women and children at risk of death is the last ditch effort. Destroying the government we love and have sworn to protect is not our goal even though some of our more radical friends talk about it. We are not those stupid people who relish the notion of a civil war. That is the last thing we want. We have a duty to protect our families and way of life first and not put it all on the line with a roll of the dice. And dice we are rolling while being heavily outnumbered.
What scares them is not that we have guns. It is that we have guns and ammunition they do not know about. Yet we send them endless signals that we have them. How? We belong to organizations like the NRA that virtually guarantees that we own guns. We post pro-gun pieces on blogs and social media identified by our names. We get concealed carry licenses. We parade around with guns in public and attend MAGA rallies. Do you think the federal authorities can't watch the videos or read that sticker on your bumper? We give money to political candidates associated with the pro second amendment movement. All public records. And, my friends, we register Republican. All of these records are readily available.
Simply registering independent and dropping participation in and contributions to some of these red (no pun intended) flag organizations might be in our own "enlightened" self interest where guns are concerned.
The power of individual gun ownership is not in using them. That is a chump bet. We are patriots. We are not out to overthrow the government. We are the ones who believe in the constitution. We are the law abiding citizens. Let's start to be the smart ones as well. Let's keep our own council.

Well Don. I think not so much.

A handgun ban is not realistically enforceable. Confiscating guns would require house-to-house searches and alienate the very individuals whose compliance is essential to the success of any regulation.
