With my conspiracy-theory hat firmly in-place; here's a reason why:
Because government is getting ready to do something so overboard, so heavy-handed that even the news-casters might feel pangs of conscience.
What if they're getting ready for a false-flag terrorist
-event: "rebels"/gun-clingers, radical islam, it hardly matters. Probably in some decent-sized (but not huge city).
They move in, snap down controls on communications and travel, for security
. They go through, hunting terrorists (which give reason for them to institute a "controlled weapons zone" [one where only government agents have weapons]) and any resistance attrition gives them excuse to increase security &mdsah; they wouldn't have to go house-to-house and confiscate guns, they'd just have to get a few from differing locations every so often. When someone makes a threatening/surprising move and sparks a firefight it's evidence that they're on the terrorists's trail. — they could also cut power, forcing people to go to a security arena if they want food (and that'll be a secure place, where mere civilians won't be allowed weapons).
From the outside, they'll portray it as a necessary response to these deep-seated terrorist cells, probably claiming the restricted travel is to keep deep-cover sleeper-cell agents contained. Once that city has been normalized
, they can move on to another.
They have the NSA's meta-data scooper and analysis-engines going — it would be stupid to think that they have not already built a network-map of people who would be prominent leaders in a domestic uprising. They would want to crush those few people first, employing a rapid-dominance strategy before their enemies realized that they were engaged.
Imagine, also, that thy do this in-conjunction with an amnesty bill passed in secret… some would be pissed off to do something about it, but the majority of Americans would have no idea: they could then use the actions in response to this secret-amnesty to try to push the narrative that it's terrorists. (See, we told you that patriots and returning vets were potential terrorists!
)

The government likes to make the victims of its lawlessness into "the bad-guy" to justify its use of force (see Ruby Ridge and Waco, TX).
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
BTTT
Have been expecting this course of action (you suggest )for some time.
Waiting for all this to happen has been painful.
Interesting. How about the ultimate false flag, chaos/crackdown paradigm KingHussein is whacked, POSOTUS takes one for the team. Martyrdom awaits the one? His usefulness/effectiveness/legacy is waning.
Have we seen it before?
Nothing happened at Waco. It was at Mt. Carmel. Waco just happened to have been the closest town large enough to lodge the msm.
You have found the ONLY reason they would bother. It's something so heavy-handed even MSM liberals would object. That's means dems original time line is around a year away. It takes time for minders to have effect... a year should do it.
I also think there might be another IRS scandal...
Low level IRS agents releases negative (and later proven false) information about Republicans RIGHT BEFORE AN ELECTION. It's a tactic Obama and dems used in Chicago (I don't know if they used the IRS - no one knew where the dirt came from - but it's the pattern ... )
I'll get the link.

“That these records ended up in the hands of the press is just a coincidence, the IRS claims.
To add insult to injury, the tax records given to the reporters werent even accurate. I had never fallen behind on my taxes, and a supposed tax lien was on a house I no longer owned.”
