I personally think that a mass confiscation would "rally the troops". "They" are smarter than that. Take out the dealers (several examples in Mesa, Arizona) license the owners and make transfer upon death illegal.
This may not be the way, but I strongly feel that this is a war of attrition, and our memories are so short that there is little danger of a general uprising.
Allow me to propose a theory: Let's suppose that they
want to create a division between the LEA, LEO's, and Joe Public Gun Owner. (Look at the toys that the LEO's get to place with and Joe P. is denied, here's a start.) Then, knowing that this division will take place, and knowing that there will be isolated armed conflicts as a result, there are prepared press statements, and bills for new "laws" to be passed in order to "Protect the public" from the "gun freak" that just had a shoot-out with the LEO's of (insert town, state, or federal agency here).
I don't know... Maybe, just maybe, the giant will awaken before it's too late and the federal Lilliputians will run away screaming...
I can't help recall a passage of scripture that defines the government when the people are not asleep at the wheel:
"They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?" (Isaiah 14:16-17)
