4. Many red states have already said they will ignore a federal ban...

…on semi-autos, if one were passed and affirmed by the court. They would reason if blue states can ignore federal drug laws and legalize weed for them, then they can do it with guns. Their local cops won’t enforce it either or prosecutors in the same way some are saying they won’t enforce abortion bans.

So how do you plan on taking all those guns without a whole bunch of shooting and dying on both sides and bringing the economy to a screeching halt due to guerrilla warfare?

Those that already own their guns, aren’t losing them; especially if they live in a red state that is friendly to their gun ownership. Those states also do not have registration, so you don’t know who owns what or how many. They could easily hand over a few guns to throw the scent off them and pretend they have been disarmed. In fact, due to red flag laws in some areas, I would not be surprised if some gun owners have hid some of their stash in another location (a midnight red flag raid would then only obtain the guns they kept in their home; leaving them to drive to the hiding site and acquire their hidden guns when the cops have left).
