   There are no 'human rights' Only the Law.   
   And the Law is what people will ultimately tolerate being applied to them.   
      
   I can well imagine in the so called 'flyover states' that people would   
   simply ignore any edict to relinquish weapons.   
      
   In the UK the current ULEZ cameras covering greater London are being   
   destroyed - up to 40% are now inoperative. That by law is not tolerated   
      
      
   But no one in the UK really wants to own a gun. The place is too crowded   
   for safe gun use outside a range. Stray shots can carry far too far. The   
   positions that the deer hunters use are all carefully arranged to shoot   
   downwards. I've been spattered with bird shot at extreme range, too   
   (200m). Even though you are unlikely to receive serious damage much over   
   50 meters, its still a bit disconcerting.   
   People who like shooting - and I did at one time - own air rifles. They   
   make excellent vermin guns. But their human lethality is extremely limited   
      
      
      
      
      
      
   --   
   The biggest threat to humanity comes from socialism, which has utterly   
   diverted our attention away from what really matters to our existential   
   survival, to indulging in navel gazing and faux moral investigations   
   into what the world ought to be, whilst we fail utterly to deal with   
   what it actually is.
