The government confiscated gold in the 30’s. How/why is this any different?

And the people should have staged an armed uprising then. But they didn't.

Actually, there was talk of a military coup. Smedley Butler was courted -- but blew the whistle on the conspirators. Of course, nothing happened to them, and the whole episode got swept down the "memory hole."
