Those who think we should be ready to have our gold confiscated should remember that many of us who own gold also own lead. No one person can stop a government but a lot of us, one at a time, can and will winnow out some of the collectors and there will come a point in time when there are no more collectors left alive. There are some things up with which we will not put.

I think you are right on here. Couple gold confiscation with IRA nationalization and you will have massive tax non compliance and civil strife. People will resist in all sorts of ways. When FDR did this, most people did not see this coming and could not react. At that time, the USD was still mostly backed by gold, today it is backed by BS. Furthermore, almost ALL the people who own gold do so because they distrust fiat money, the Fed and US government in general.
All of these things together could push the nation off the edge. The silver lining will be, if there is an actual civil war, it will be open season on weasily Dems, commies, union thugs, Leftists and all the other assorted filth of the nation.
That didn’t happen when FDR pulled it off.
