I don’t really believe that the gun owning population will actually resist a confiscation. A few individuals might sacrifice themselves in shootouts but only a few. If the Left can tone down their hysteria, the way to do a confiscation is through our very own Social Credit Score system.The Google and FB and Apple have already provided China’s system, have already got much of the programming in place and are implementing it around the edges by making it harder to do anything online without curbing one’s opinions and supporting contrary opinions. We cannot seem to be able to do anything about it, less so that if it were government measures. Anti trust and monopoly law does not seem to apply to Big Tech.
The captain of the Titanic said to the ship’s architect,
“Is it hopeless, then?” The architect replied,
“It would appear that the unthinkable has happened.”
Are we there, yet? ChiCom style social credit systems consisting of Google, FB, & Apple? Well, we’ve seen people getting canceled for opposing BLM.
But what if I use none of those systems? What if I go dark to the extent possible? My wife is apolitical but all our finances are processed through her phone.
Doesn’t the ChiCom social credit system control every Chinese? Jaywalk, and it goes into your profile.
As for shootouts during attempted confiscation...WWII resistance fighters learned, “that it was possible to kill Nazis and then survive afterward”. Are government forces that numerous and that omnipotent?
The Nazis didn’t have to worry about being doxxed. But .25 automatics in resisters’ hands killed many of them.
Does an ATF agent want to walk out to his mailbox and see “ATF goon lives here”?
I’m off on another subject, but the logistics of confiscation are monumentally daunting. Tell you what, go and draft an operational order for the confiscation of all citizens’ firearms; chain of command, logistics, personnel, “enemy” meaning us, and concept of operations.
I was scared s***less when Obama was in office and I researched what it would take to seize hundreds of millions of firearms at the Federal level. Conclusion: Impossible.
“Uh, you own guns so we’re freezing your bank account”. Most guns are unregistered; “anonymous ownership”, scolded one gun grabber, so how does that work?
