Koresh was a cult leader and McVeigh was a terrorist who attacked the government, by blowing up the federal building. They have nothing in common with one another other than they both had mental issues and certainly have nothing in common with our discussion. You're obviously grasping at straws! LOL. 

Please explain your logic on how McVeigh and Koresh have anything to do with the threat of government officials going door to door and stealing (confiscating) guns from law abiding citizens who have never been in trouble with the law and have no mental conditions? This explanation should be interesting. I know it's not gonna make a bit of sense.

I think you should look a little more deeply into what Koresh did, and why he had ATF, and not some other law enforcement agency, knocking on his door.
But, you're being a bit too specific.
I don't think the government can or should do the kind of door to door gun confiscation you're describing.  That's why were talking past each other.  You have that specific scenario in mind, but I can't even imagine it.  I have a broader set of scenarios in mind when people claim that they use guns to resist their own government, and some of the scenarios I have in mind actually happened..

I think you are talking about a much broader idea here. You are using cult leaders and terrorists who try to justify their own actions to resist the government, but I'm specifically talking about average, every day people who have done nothing wrong. As for the door to door confiscations, it is hard to imagine because it's a ridiculous concept. A concept seriously put out there by a presidential candidate (Beto O'Rourke) and seriously agreed with by Kamala Harris and now that ridiculous concept is very much in play, since Harris is the new V.P.

If you pay attention, Trump isn't the one dividing our country.
