Foreign troops or police in the US, doing anything, much less firearms confiscation is the absolute fastest way I can think of to get a civil war. Even folks that don't really like guns aren't going to watch UN troops shooting people in the states.
I agree. While there are several countries that would probably be willing to come help.....I dont think they will be willing to get stuck in a long, drawn out guerrilla war with US Citizens. It would have to be under the blue helmet guise of "Peace Missions". Some countries may come and use the invitation as a foot hold. I would hope the US Military would be on our side as well........but you never know these days.
They won't be watching them because they'll have already jumped on the buses to go to the refugee camps.
Some have speculated that such a scenario could take place someday. And that is supposedly why there is a lot of 'preparedness' interest out there. I don't really believe something like that will happen here in the U.S., but I imagine it could be a probability.
I believe there would be at least some armed resistance if the US government attempted mass gun confiscation. If they brought in foreign troops, however, I can almost guarantee there would be a large scale uprising and blood in the streets.
But, in the short-attention span, sound-bite combat of the comment boards out there, bringing up New Zealand (having looser laws than Austrailia and a *lower* homicide rate) is still a useful counter to those anti's braying "but Austrailia did it and it worked!" (Since few will bother to actually look into the details)
And that would be an invasion. The military and law enforcement are sworn to protect the constitution and until the constitution is changed (or done away with which is not out of the realm of possibility after the BO fiasco) no foreign coalition will be able to set foot in this country without major problems.
