Never going to happen, but hypothetically, how would a Beto gun buyback/grab work in reality if it were enacted? I saw someone on Twitter opine that although people talk a tough talk, they wouldn't resist armored police if they came knocking on people's doors, enforcing the gun "buyback". Someone else pointed out that even if 1% of gun owners resisted, that's still a staggering number of people who would push back.
I think that gun owners are some of the fiercest defenders of their rights, so I don't think they'd simply comply, even in the face of armed police enforcement. While Americans accept certain burdens and restrictions on their rights, there's a line in the sand in regard to certain rights, including gun rights. I think there would simply be too many people who would feel justified in defying a government enforcement to make such enforcement untenable.
