The Constitution speaks of militia's.
I believe gun confiscation would make the formation of civilian militia's not only encouraged, but necessary.
.... And EVERY Militia member is going to need a TRUE military weapon.
I'm calling dibs on an M249.

We already have quite a few militia's in the shadows. Anyone who doesn't know that is being obtuse. <---love that word.
… to a lesser degree (than 90).Until I started graying, losing my hair and putting on few pounds, some thought I was acute!
... only 45!… to a lesser degree (than 90).
Now, introduce a "Civilian National Security Force, that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded" as our military; people willing to do the bidding of a prospecting tyrant, who never took an oath to support and defend the constitution or the defend this country under that constitution... I think we'll keep our arms and see how that plays out.
In order to man a militia the populace MUST be armed.If I may ...
Guerrilla warfare. Sure, our services have some pretty neat toys that can produce some fantastic devastation. But I don't think they would be using anything nuclear within CONUS. In addition, getting back to Guerrilla warfare. A well organized, hastily put together, militia, many militias, can do some serious damage and disruption, as well as severely lowering the moral of those uniformed service members. Now when I refer to, "A well organized, hastily put together, militia", I'm not talking about an already established force of like minded men. I'm referring to a call going out, being received by men that already have experience at war, and other passionate men that will fight for freedom, liberty, and the rights of all Americans, understand what is at stake, understand leadership hierarchy, and that will vote for, and accept, a leader with the experience, to formulate a plan with input from the body militia. If first, it were to be, "law enforcement", attempting to confiscate firearms from law abiding people? I'm pretty sure those in "law enforcement" would think that action over for a very long time before acting, knowing the mood of the millions of law abiding firearm owners. It would get nasty real quick, and, with pretty much no reinforcements, would be a very short excursion into how not to treat your fellow American neighbor.
And the one thing these wanna be dictators fail to realize is the old adage: How is it that the rabbit, always seems to get away from the wolf that is chasing it to fill its belly? Because the rabbit is running for its life. Now, sure, there may be wolves in government, and in the services, but there are millions and millions more of rabbits. Rabbits with the will, and firepower, to turn on the wolf, if necessary.
Quite right, and true, kinda, however ... the "true" body militia, is made up of men, of age, physically able, to protect and defend. There was no standing militia back in the day. Men were farmers, laborers, craftsmen, etc., until called upon to join/form a militia. Not everyone has arms. But then, not every militiaman in the 1700's had arms either. And not every able bodied man heeded the call, and joined up with a militia. But the needed arms were acquired, and any necessary training was accomplished for those men lacking. All one needs are arms chambered in NATO ammunition, 9mm, .40, .45, 5.56mm, 7.62mm ,12 gauge, and .50 for those with the means. Every type of round listed is massively available. Heck, 9MM Lugar Sellier & Bellot 115 Grain FMJ (1000 Rounds) can be had for $200, sometimes less. For 1000 rounds of SELLIER & BELLOT in .45 for under $275. It's not necessary to have similar weapons as the military, but definitely to have exact caliber ammunition arms.In order to man a militia the populace MUST be armed.
In order to be a successful, meaningful militia they should be armed with similar weapons as the military (spare parts, familiarity) that use the same ammo as the military (5.56 and 7.62) ensuring ease of finding ammunition to use in time of need.
These weapons should be prolific, affording the populace the chance to become familiar, and comfortable with firing it.
Population should be proficient with the same, ensuring if they can't get to their's they'll be just as good a shot with one they may pick up along the way.
This falls short of the true from of a militia.. requiring/ mandating every able bodied adult to possess a like weapon in the correct caliber, maintaining it in working order and good repair, to be kept proficient in it's use, and to possess a good amount of ammunition to support it in the time of need (usually 500 or more rounds minimum).
Red Dawn.
no leftist communist democrat president dictator could ever get MOST our military to cooperate in going after their own citizens.
there will always be those who will .... depending on how the raids are presented
a few school shootings later .. a few doz dead children ...
