Poll: Two-Thirds of Gun Owners Say They’ll Defy New Restrictions
Question 46 in the wide-ranging survey of more than 1,000 registered voters asks if there is a gun in the household. Overall, 52 percent of the respondents said yes, someone in their home owned a gun. That number included 65 percent of Republicans, 59 percent of conservatives, 38 percent of Democrats and 41 percent of liberals.
But on to Question 47, addressed to those with a gun in their home: "If the government passed a law to take your guns, would you give up your guns or defy the law and keep your guns?"
The response: 65 percent reported they would "defy the law."

Well gosh, that's not completely true.
If generalissimo Obama's diktat overruling the Second Amendment were to come to pass and the Nagin teams started to kick in the doors of the law-abiding, I would venture to guess that more than one armed citizen would surrender their ammunition to the organs of the state..
