Simple enough.

Declare the private ownership of gold to be illegal, then take it away from the people who have "horded" it.

It's been done before.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been under the impression that "seized" gold was compensated at price that was above market at the time, something like $35.00/oz.?

By the time they try that, millions of people will be hungry and afraid. They will have to take the guns at the same time in order to take the gold. IOW, they will risk igniting a dirty civil war if they try.

I would imagine that there would be a great deal of employee turnover in the "Taker" positions!

“Declare the private ownership of gold to be illegal, then take it away from the people who have “horded” it. “

You would cause the instant rebellion of millions of women and married couples that would refuse to turn over their jewelry and wedding rings to the government.
