The Federal government needs to confiscate all guns

[Lizzie Poppet]

35. And how, specifically, do you suggest they do that?

Who's going to conduct these confiscations? BATF? They have about 4800 total employees, 2500 of which are actually field agents. To confiscate 300,000,000+ guns from 80,000,000 people? Obviously not.

The FBI? Similar problem: 35,000 total employees, only about half of whom are field agents.

The only other armed Federal force is the military, and using them for domestic law enforcement is profoundly illegal (and that's leaving aside the fact that today's military leans somewhat conservative and most of its members support civilian ownership of firearms...making it an open question whether such orders would be widely obeyed).

Calling upon local law enforcement? Same problem as with the military: widespread strong opposition among the rank-and-file to any such plan (and there also aren't nearly enough cops).

For better or worse, your proposed solution simply isn't going to happen.
