Does anyone really believe that the men and women of the armed forces would go into a town and attempt to forcibly disarm them? As a retired AF member, most of my friends are either active duty or retired and have lots of guns. They believe in ol #2 and fight to preserve it.

I believe that they would disobey the orders of the officers appointed over them.

I also believe that people would hide their weapons, then seek to overthrow the law before taking to the streets and open violence. If that did not work, then selective targets might get targeted and new people appointed. No matter what, it would get ugly, before a vote anyway.

If people want to get together and have a gun-free zone, then create one. It doesn't need to be the whole country. In some areas, guns are still viable working tools and a matter of safety. Safety not from other humans, but from animals.
