Since the government is founded on and runs based off of the Constitution it would be unconstitutional for such a law to be passed. That said, if such a law WAS passed then it would be my DUTY as an American citizen to revolt against a tyrannical government.
....is this some kind of novel idea to you? It's fairly simple to me, maybe it's because I grew up with it. Not that I'm some kind of compound having unofficial state militia starting crazy person, just because the Constitution is the rule and guide of government, the Constitution says what the government can't do, and the founding fathers said basically "If the government stops going by the Constitution then it's your job as a citizen to overthrow the government"....that's just the way it is.
Just one question. Just for the sake of argument, let's say if the people decides to repeal the 2nd and calls for an amendment to the constitution and suppose the people vote overwhelmingly for the repeal, will you fully accept that? But no, I'm not trying to put you on the spot or anything like that.
Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
Now THAT could happen in reality...it's highly doubtful that it would, but that's not the question you asked so I'll stick to answering that question.
IF what you propose actually happened in the United States then I would with a clear conscience become a criminal and keep my firearms because I as an individual believe that it is a God given right that I'm allowed to defend myself however I deem necessary. I would not offer myself up to be jailed or punished, I would merely resist by inaction.....lest it be necessary to resist by force.
Likewise I would have not abided by the 18th Amendment either.
Alright, that's fair enough. I was just thinking you'd say something like, 'I will support whatever the constitution dictates upon me,' and I would've been disappointed if you said that, regardless of our difference in opinion regarding the gun control issue, because I myself wouldn't have change my principle just because of the change in the provision of the constitution...

Ha, no I am not a robot, I'm an individual who believes in Freedom and Liberty. And there are times when I am absolutely wrong....but I hope to always err on the side of freedom and liberty rather than on the side of authoritarian government.
Point of clarification though, the Constitution dictates to Government things that can and cannot be done, it doesn't set guidelines for the People and that is why it is such an important document....not just for me, not just for Americans, but for everyone to learn and hopefully grow from.
