Would you volunteer to retrieve those weapons? Even if they had to send in entire SWAT teams to take those weapons, they would first have to protect the surrounding area by evacuating the immediate neighbors which would also draw attention to the situation.

It will never happen.
Totally agree. In the meantime, we need to continue to impress that taking away weapons will turn out to be much more dangerous to them than leaving law-abiding citizenry alone. There is an inherent safety when folks believe you may just be crazy (desperate, fed up, nihilistic), as well as armed.

The funny ones always say, "good luck with your small arms against tanks and F-15's" To them I say, "You're assuming which side those forces will ultimately be on, and you're likely wrong."
