There is currently a lot of attention being paid to new Democrat-proposed gun control laws, particularly House Bill 127, which would require national registration and licensing of all firearms, would ban broad categories of semi-automatic weapons, ban most ammunition magazines, and so on. One of the most frequent replies to these proposed laws is that there are not enough local or federal SWAT Team door-kickers to go house to house on gun confiscation raids, and if they tried, they would 1. soon run out of door-kickers and 2. instigate Civil War Two.
But in the modern digital era, I believe that Team Tyranny won’t have to do much door-to-door gun confiscation. I think that a few show-piece gun confiscation raids using overwhelming force at 4AM (that are designed for network TV audiences) will be sufficient. Instead, they’ll just send citizens a notice by text, email and registered snail-mail that they already know what newly-illegal guns they possess. This list will be based on AI programs scraping and data-mining your social media history, credit card purchases, and all past FFL sales records, which surely will be collected as part of the new law.
All of this information will be knitted together much the way that the IRS does business. I borrowed this paradigm from “Old Curmudgeon” on a Free Republic thread: “Have you noticed how the IRS manages to enforce the tax laws? Every taxable transaction is documented by multiple parties so that one party’s failure to report will be revealed by the another party’s paperwork. Then the person who violated the tax law is made an example of, a horrible example, causing reasonable people to be very afraid of the IRS. They will use a similar method to end gun ownership.”
And don’t think for a minute that they won’t get all the gun sales records, once they pass their “Emergency Measures To Prevent Domestic Terrorism Act.”
So how will they plan to separate you from your now-illegal guns? You’ll be notified that next Thursday at 9AM is your designated time to appear at a certain address, perhaps your local police station, or perhaps a big-box store parking lot, with said newly-illegal firearms and ammo magazines. Current Covid vaccine distribution gives them a model for this new system. Instead of going to get a Covid shot, you’ll be going to turn in the newly banned guns on the list.
Many people will refuse to do so. A week later, they will be totally disappeared from social media. Digitally disappeared. This makes it hard to complain about your treatment.
If you send an email about your situation to your local news station, they will automatically get a warning email just ahead of yours, or your email will be contained inside of a red flashing “warning box.” This is how the CCP keeps the comrades in line in Communist China. ChiCom programmers are already working with silicon valley to get Team Tyranny, both government and private sector, up to speed on these protocols.
You’ll get more official warnings to turn in the newly illegal guns that they know you have. Serial numbers won’t matter much, they’ll have your own prior social media “confessions,” along with those proud pictures you posted at the range, along with your credit card history, etc. You bought ten P-Mags, a chest rig, a “drop-in” trigger and a new buffer spring? They know you have an AR. And you can assume that the sales records of FFL dealers will all be collected under the new “emergency” gun control law.
You still won’t comply? You’re doxed at work. Your company “can’t take the risk” of employing you after they get secret back-channel warnings from the DHS. You and your wife the school teacher or nurse will be unemployed. How are you going to pay your mortgage? Your kids’ tuition bill? Your car payment? Again, as a DHS-suspected “domestic terror threat” you can’t get the local news to touch the story.
Next step: your ATM card is frozen. Then your credit cards. Then your bank drops you. Still a hard case? Your electricity arrives intermittently. Then it stops altogether. Then your water is cut off. The local news will still not touch your story, since they have been warned about the dangerous domestic terror threat from people like you.
Team Tyranny won’t need to conduct many door-to-door gun raids. They’ll just lock you inside a digital gulag in your own house.
And if you freak out in anger and rage and try to get revenge, who will you go after? Washington DC is now behind a razor-wire-topped wall guarded by thousands of troops, so forget that. Your local police chief? Your mayor? Who do you go after? If you do target them, then you are a domestic terrorist, and they’ll kill you, or at least arrest you and send you to a real prison. (The local gun-collection points might become a sporadic random target, but they will be very well guarded by SWAT counter-snipers etc.)
These are just some thoughts of mine about how the new gun bans might be rolled out and enforced. Do I know for a fact that this is how Team Tyranny will enforce an American gun ban? No. But it’s worth considering, at least more than just saying “they don’t have enough door kickers!”
They won’t need many door kickers. The Digital Gulag might be enough.
I spoke about this on Infowars last Thursday:

The digital spy and report procedures already exist, even though you may not already be sufficiently aware.
Remember when the Director of the CIA said that his agency didn't spy on the American people
- do you remember that he lied to Congress, and to public and you ?
They already spy on you, all of the intelligence agencies, who record your activities, even though it is illegal.
Consider how you will respond to an electronic intrusion by the Government (Hammer, Score Card) into your personal life,
your belongings and personal property, your religious faith, your ability to free speech, your right to defend yourself and your family.
How can they, or even will they, shut you off from life, the economy, your employment, your ability to travel - how can you survive ?
Consider the proverbial" Who, What, Why and Where ? ", and think of this exercise logically, without emotion, in terms of how will you respond and survive.
See the OP and the comments below, .. and skip the bravado !
“Step one of whatever plan I may or may not have is never talking details over the interwebs.”
Good luck coming up with something! It won’t be easy.

True that ! Better to think logically, rather than a rash, emotionally charged reaction.
OODA loop
Good post.
Along with that article, you really should provide solutions as you see them.
It’s not enough to say this is going to happen. Need a plan to adapt,, improvise and overcome.
At least there won’t be mean tweets.
Ping.
Did you read Matt’s article about how this will play out? Your remark makes it sound like you have not read it.
“I would not be surprised if Google is already collecting this data on US citizens and just waiting for the proper administration to be in place to implement it.”
That is the horror of the digital gulag. They can build it entirely behind the scenes without the public having any knowledge at all about it. It would be a disparate collection of separate systems, seemingly not working together, but adding up to a monstrous tyrannical whole. It could be unleashed fully formed and be unstoppable.
Mat Bracken, FR’s Travis McGee, is former military, a published author and a VERY knowledgeable person. When he speaks/writes its worth serious consideration.
Around 30 years ago I had a conversation with a young man who had recently gotten out of the military. He had been in Intelligence. One of those people who has to sign those Non Disclosure forms. The ND’s with real teeth in them.
The last two years of his service had been spent in England helping set up surveillance systems.
His only comments were “Big Brother is already here” and “Do nothing electronically”. Mind you this was 30 years ago when the internet was an infant.
How will you use Bitcoin when your mobile service has been shut off and your Internet Service Provider cuts off your Internet?
Sure ammo is durable and tradable. But what happens when you have expended or traded your 10,000 or 20,000 stored rounds?
EH??? feh...
“Sheila Nutcase Jackson Lee’s insane bills aren’t going to pass anyway.”
I agree. Her terrible bill won’t pass at 100%. It will return at 50% and the GOPe Rinos will rush to vote for it.
And in a few years, they’ll get all 100%, a few % each time.
Taxes are funding such a small part of the government already today that they won’t care if half of the income tax revenue disappears. The fed will just print more money. So what if the annual deficit goes to $3 trillion from today’s $2 trillion? We are already on a trajectory toward a Weimar fiscal calamity. Does it matter to them if it arrives in 5 years instead of 6 if they succeed in disarming America?
If the gangbangers know where to break in and where to look it will cause a surge in gun crime and cause chaos. The crisis is probably pre-planned.
In the Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis the solution is known before the crisis is created.
I think it’s going to be MUCH worse in blue cities/states where the govt is backing the program, so MOVE OUT NOW.
Also, I think the collection centers will be weak points.
These centers will need to be guarded and run mainly by local LE.
They will get “night letters” or the digital equivalent telling them that if they take any part in the gun collection/confiscation, they will be targeted anywhere, at anytime.
Not to mention them catching stray shots from afar. It’s hard to keep counter-sniper attention every minute of every hour. Lots of civilians have 1,000 yard rifles today.
Local LE will have to be “strongly dissuaded” from participating in any form of gun collection/confiscation.
If the monstrous scenario Matt lays out happens, just whom will you aim your guns at?
How will you plan resistance with no cell phone service and no Internet service to communicate with fellow patriots? It will be hard when C3 becomes C2.

“Second Amendment Sanctuary States are in order.”
Those “gangbangers, thugs, Obama’s sons” with the illegal guns already live off the socialist government so they are part of its army. Productive citizens with real jobs and (now) legal weapons? They don’t count for anything and become the enemy.
