Alternate Universes

Jeff Soyer has an interesting post up in the "What if?" column.

So here is a reader participation question. Let's pretend it is now the year 2020 and liberals and Democrats have ruled the world. A few years ago (think England or Canada) they passed laws requiring that everyone submit to a federal (i.e. country-wide, universal) gun registration program. Yeah, it probably wouldn't happen but, BUT! What if it did? And then, a few years later, in (our hypothetical scenario here) they decided to (like England and Australia in years past) decided that NO ONE should own a gun because it's for the "common good" and they (the US Government) decided to use that registration list to start confiscating all citizens' firearms...

Folks, I know this is just idle speculation right now but it really ISN'T so far-fetched. What if it really happened?

What would you do?

Go answer there. This should be fascinating.
