Say the emperor says tonight "turn in all military style rifles". What's your thought on compliance? I think it may be a trigger he can't unsqueeze....
Realistically, most would not be turned in. What the media doesn't want you to know is that there is no country on the planet today that has banned guns and required them to be turned in where a majority has actually turned them in. The UK probably comes closest. From what I've read compliance rates tend to run around 30%, even in countries like France and Canada. The compliance rates in New York and Connecticut are even lower than that....like around 10%.

Edited to add....on a lighter note:

Can Americans be denied Second Amendment rights because the Attorney General suspects they’re terrorists?

Same bunch as ISIS. That stands for Islamic State, Iraq and Syria. Obama doesn't like that term. He prefers ISIL, Islamic State, Iraq and the Levant. Some kind of political thing against Israel, from what I can gather.
I've heard that muslims don't like Israel. :headscratch
They don't like the Jews in Israel. They want the land though from what I gather
I was being facetious. Today's Arab/Jew animosity goes back thousands of years and is spoken of in The Old Testament under different names....I think.

Yeah, just playing along with the theme that they dislike the Jews but want their land.
