Well said.

However, reality never turns out like you plan. There is an old
military axiom that says the best plan never survives first contact
with the enemy. So just go into it knowing that the ramifications are
going to be messy. But, having a plan will serve you better than
having no plan.

There is a wealth of commentary on this subject by credible and
knowledgeable individuals. Even the ACLU is helpful, even though they
did not mean to be helpful to firearms enthusiasts. Maybe we should
start a list of informative resources.

I'll start:
