36% of Democrat voters support confiscation of legally owned firearms from American citizens who have not committed a crime

In a new poll from Zogby Analytics, over one-third of Democrat primary voters were found to support gun confiscation of American citizens who have not even committed a crime.

Although 36% is not a majority, it shows that a large segment of the population does not trust the general population with weapons to defend themselves. They do, however, generally support those guns in the hands of government agents, police, and the military.

If guns were to be forcibly confiscated from law-abiding Americans, it would not usher in a peaceful utopia as many seem to believe. Instead, it would undoubtably create armed conflict between citizens and the government.

Put simply, no matter how well-armed the government is, there is a large segment of the population that will never give up their guns without a fight. This is quite possibly the quickest way, and the only way, to start a civil war in America.

Not to mention the fact that gun confiscation is a long shot from being proven to reduce crime. The only thing that this form of gun control does do is reduce the power of the people to fight back against oppressive regimes.

If you want to know why gun control is a bad long-term strategy, try reading about the history of Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, or Adolf Hitler’s regimes and how they took guns from their people prior to oppression and mass murder.
