Will be called a terrorist and any resistance will result in your perforation.
The cops/military sent to retrieve will not be given any real information about who or what you are, just that you are possibly a part of a terrorist group or one of those lone wolf home grown violent extremists.

The police and the military are paid to follow orders. Blindly!
To say it would never happen is whistling past the graveyard.
An army colonel, IIRC, did a paper for a college class. It was on the probability of US troops actually firing on the citizens refusing to give up arms under a confiscation order. This was with actual interviews with many levels of the armed forces. The spirit of the responses was some convert squads would, the rank and file members never. Armies of convert forces do not exist, so it was determined the US Gov't would go to the UN to get their forces to confiscate the firearms. The response to that from the rank and file was foreign armies do not occupy American soil.
Blue helmets make good targets. They (the gov't...at many levels) are trying to do this a little at a time, not wanting to make the obvious...obvious. To do so would rile up suspicion even to those viewing through rose colored glasses...well maybe not Rosey O'Donnell. Steadfastness and conviction in belief will win, both on political and freedom fronts. I personally believe in the hardfast American ideals we have lived and which have allowed us to prosper. I have lived free as a free American and have conviction to continue to do so...

But if it does go to hell, we'll need a slogan to shout out before going into battle.
Yelling PORK-RIBS or BACON-BITS might work.
How many millions of hunters are there? Deer rifle = sniper rifle. Deer hunter = sniper. That gets ugly.
Exactly. Can you imagine a Lee Harvey in every building?
We are Americans. We tick just a little differently.
That's a lot of snipers with long-range, high-powered rifles with armor piercing bullets who can knock the hell out of blue-helmeted visitors from outside the range of an M-4.
All this talk of long range sniping is rekindling my desire for a 300 win mag. This thread is finally taking the direction I was hoping.

I'm not joking.And the number gets even bigger when you include the pool of U.S. Veterans who are secretly domestic terrorists waiting in the wings. It's good that we can all joke about it. Let's hope it stays that way. But if it does go to hell, we'll need a slogan to shout out before going into battle. Yelling PORK-RIBS or BACON-BITS might work.
UN TROOPS
There is no need to confiscate any guns. All the liberals have to do is make them illegal. Some law abiding citizens would turn them in. Others would be forced to hide them. No more plinking, range time, or hunting. No more teaching your kids how to use and care for them. They would be locked in a hidden place until, thirty years from now, their kids turn them in during some amnesty program.
Liberals are patient. They know they can't send the police or military around to confiscate guns. They know they don't have to. If you repeat the same stupid chant long enough, it eventually gets accepted as wisdom.
That's how we have got where we are.
Rob.
While I exaggerated the title to this thread, and I agree with most of you that confiscation by force is highly unlikely, I think Rob hit the nail on the head, and it's what I fear most. It's a slippery slope...
I'm not joking.
Also, consider the number of Sheriffs who have said they would not permit the Feds to confiscate firearm in their jurisdictions. The police and military will have divisions in their ranks. No. This would be a VERY dumb move.

Yeah, the vets I know (including me) wouldn't tolerate blue helmets. Or any gun confiscation. The way it will be done is with taxes and fees.
