Yes, I agree the legal approach is likely doomed to failure in the US, but I was more thinking of a voluntary "loan" of weapons to the military by concerned, patriotic citizens. Here in Australia at the outbreak of WWII, the government made a plea to the people to donate rifles for training purposes to free up military weapons for the troops on the ground. Many of these rifles ended up in the hands of the militia forces tasked with local defence and never fired a shot in anger (although were used heavily on the range and patrolling the sand dunes along the coast).
