I'm not talking about rights. Taking 200 million or so guns away from their owners is impossible. How would you do it?

They would have their chain-of-command, and orders to strike where the enemy is, right?`

The "rebels" would be in disarray for days probably, "what to do?","where should we go?". Before the rebels could even get properly organized they'd have air on them.
Apaches, Cobras, A-10s and so on.
A civil war may be the result of an attempt to disarm the populous, but what happens before that? And again there is the examples of failed attempts to subjugate smaller and less well armed nations. Ask the American gun owners on this forum what would happen. It would be messy. I think it would be almost impossible.

Question to the bishop. Will you wear the pointy hat?
