You know there are about 300 million firearms in the US, and you think the government would be able to confiscate them all in 5 years? That seems a little sill

That seems a little silly to me - especially considering the rate of non-compliance with previous registration schemes. In California more "assault weapons" were sold in the state in the three months prior to the registration deadline than were registered. In Connecticut there are people calling for armed conflict over a similar registration scheme, and the reports I've seen say that there are about 100k unregistered weapons there.
Regardless of how you feel about guns, to believe that America could be disarmed in 5 years is exceedingly naïve.
