Standoffs are stupid.They aren't going to go house to house. It'll just be legislated against and some will turn them in and some will not and become felons. They'll be gone in a generation or 2 depending on if your children will keep them or not. And if they don't get rid of them their kids, kids will.
My guess is that most kids who inherit them will dump them because they wouldn't be able to be used in the range or while hunting. It wouldn't be worth the headache.
Either that or we'll just turn them into bolt actions to comply with the law. That's what I think most will do. There isn't going to be any ridiculous "From my cold dead hands standoffs." That's all talk and nothing but talk. The tough guys will just keep them hidden in closets and attics and say that they are resisting.
Kind of like what's going on here with AR's now.
Don't engage your enemy on his terms, force him to engage on yours.
Also, they will have an endless supply of grunts, not you'll never make any progress doing that.
You don't want to try to make guys fear confiscating stuff, they'll always find someone dumb enough anyway. What you need to do is make people fear giving the order to confiscate.
You go after the generals when they aren't expecting it, not the privates when they come for you.
