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 Gulag is Practice for Extermination”

[My title was just “The Digital Gulag,” they added the rest.]
Digital is much more easily intercepted. Analog is far more difficult. They intel crowd did go digital several decades ago. They just use encryption.
Maybe not the final piece. How about a tracking device that the people carry voluntarily?
Ludwig von Mises:
There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.
The automated clearinghouse (ACH) system is a nationwide network through which depository institutions send each other batches of electronic credit and debit transfers. The direct deposit of payroll, social security benefits, and tax refunds are typical examples of ACH credit transfers. The direct debiting of mortgages and utility bills are typical examples of ACH debit transfers. While the ACH network was originally used to process mostly recurring payments, the network is today being used extensively to process one-time debit transfers, such as converted check payments and payments made over the telephone and Internet.Then there is federal (FDIC) depositor insurance.The Reserve Banks and Electronic Payments Network (EPN) are the two national ACH operators. As an ACH operator, the Reserve Banks receive files of ACH payments from originating depository financial institutions, edit and sort the payments, deliver the payments to receiving depository financial institutions, and settle the payments by crediting and debiting the depository financial institutions' settlement accounts. The Reserve Banks and EPN rely on each other to process interoperator ACH payments--that is, payments in which the originating depository financial institution and the receiving depository financial institution are served by different operators. These interoperator payments are settled by the Reserve Banks.
The only way out of what Mr. Bracken hypothesized is splitting the country up, i.e. , CW II. If the country holds, the Digital Tyranny will unfold as he has described.
You are correct regarding blue states vs red states. We have only to look at the past year and how people were affected in blue states regarding the COVID crisis. The large blue states are in ruins economically now. And the red states such as my state Tennessee and others, not so much. It will be the same with gun laws, and a myriad of other tyrannical laws. We in the red states will have ample warning, and time to prepare a defense against the tide. My two cents.
That is why you plan now. There are alternate systems at the local level. You can use laser communication systems that are extremely location specific. That means very hard to tap into. Combine that with a town supported militia, minutemen able to muster at a moment’s notice.
In theory, yes. But the bottom line is, who has the guy's back?
Where was the call to arms from all the tough talking patriots when Randy Weaver's family was killed or the Koresh compound destroyed by the government?
Weren't those events worthy of "the shot heard around the world"?
Clearly, a lot of factors are in play.
Form 4473 are "supposed" to be kept on file by the FFL holder you purchase from. They are not "supposed" to be sent anywhere.
In Texas there is no gun registration, so no one can prove that I didn't already sell the guns I bought yesterday, so I don't see this being a foolproof strategy.
Understood.
Understood
Okay. Thanks
Yes, something we use every day and don’t even think about the possible implications.
FANTASTIC IDEA!
yes, collection of fed income taxes done via states. Money withheld if fed gov tries to proceed.
10th amendment in action.
It is possible to fight this via the states. Are our state legislatures up to the challenge?
Much better than individuals having to stand up on their own to this tyranny, although it may come to that. But much preferred to use the solution our wise founding fathers incorporated into the constitution.

It didn’t go so well for LaVoy Finicum did it? Where was the push back from the so called patriots?
Organize. Plan.
What would you have had them do? Very remote location in the dead of winter.
I think that what I wrote is what Team Tyranny will try to do.
Their intel and psyops pros and social media experts will assure them that it will work.
That X% of Americans will comply, and the rest can be dealt with by harsher methods.
The Japanese tried to knock the USA out of the Pacific at Pearl Harbor.
It did not end well for them in August of 1945.
In the “digital gulag” gun confiscation sc
heme, a major weakness will be the collection points.
According to the plan I outlined, most normie gun owners will be intimidated into going to a certain place at a certain time to turn in their now-outlawed weapons, or face “the digital gulag.”
But intimidation can work in multiple directions.
First of all, these collection points will rely on local LE for security. “Night letters” and other forms of clandestine messages will warn these local LEOs that if they take part, in any way, in these gun collection/confiscation plans, then they will be declaring themselves to be traitors, communists, domestic enemies of the constitution, etc. That pension ain’t going to be worth it if you are dead, or your house is burned to the ground.
And these illegal firearm collection points will, depending on the region, become flash points. There is a reason long range riflery is one of the hottest parts of the shooting community in recent years. If paid hourly govt. employees, (local SWAT, with their .gov issued .308 bolt rifles), want to stand security as “counter-snipers” around these collection points, I think they are going to find out why so many patriots have invested time and money in becoming thousand-yard-plus shooters.
The entire scheme will probably collapse, or turn into a shooting CW, because nobody will be willing to man these collection points. And ordinary Americans will receive the clandestine jungle-drums message that participating in this collection scheme is collaborating with communist traitors who are destroying the last vestiges of the Constitution.
As always, I hope that the boys and girls down in the fusion centers are paying attention, and passing information up the line.
If the Japanese high command had a crystal ball to foresee Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and war crimes trials ending in hangings, maybe they might not have tried Pearl Harbor in the first place. That’s really why I write these things. It’s for the boys and girls down in the fusion centers, and for their bosses.
But they won’t pay attention, they will probably have to learn the hard way.
Ask Hideki Tojo what happened after Nanking, Pearl Harbor, and Hiroshima.
I’ll bet he thought Pearl Harbor was a great plan. Just like Team Tyranny is thinking about the Digital Gulag.
I hope the boys and girls down in the fusion centers are focused on reality, and not on “trans rights” and other woke cultural Marxist insanity. Tojo had a good plan too. Ask him how it worked out.
Wuhan hacker,,,
Catchy term
I totally agree with your entire comments. One thing I do hope happens is that should kinetics happen that Americans step into their legislatures and court houses and sheriff offices and stop the nonsense. Physically eject the idiots right out into the streets. New elections.
