Divide the children against the parents. Instill fear and conquer the mind. Destroy trust in the family.
Side benefit of further dividing the Nation...
I completely understand that aspect of all they do. What scaring the kids doesn’t do is get the confiscation started now. The bad guys must think there are enough sheeple to “demand” the taking of guns regardless of constitutional rights.
Of coarse it may just be a long term goal, but that’s not in their nature when they are in trouble.
