[Al Swearengen]

Although the "registration-legislation-confiscation-eradication" scenario has historically been the way tyrannical regimes have rendered their populations helpless and ripe for oppression, there are no set rules, no "Dictators Playbook" that must be followed. The bad guy's have learned a thing or two since Hitler and Stalin's time. In all likelihood, they'll do it exactly the way they did it in New Orleans...they'll just show up on our doorsteps one day or night, demandin that we turn over our guns as they ransack our homes. And this is why we must be forever vigilant, forever suspicious of government inquiries as to whether we own any guns, what type and how many. I think it would be prudent to view the New Orleans Gun Grab as a possible test run...that is, a small-scale experiment designed to gauge the level of resistence to gun confiscation in advance of a nationwide attempt to disarm the American public.
