Yes, these are merely the opening feints by the power craving left. FReepers instinctively know that the left schemes 24/7 to find ways and excuses to undermine our Constitution, impoverish us all, and if necessary, to incarcerate us all. It's for our own good though.
Rather than actively come to your house, and rather than wait for you to leave the house, they will ultimately simply wait you out. They will cut off power and water to your home and shut down any cell phone service you or your spouse have. They will freeze all your bank accounts and credit cards. Then, when you go to the homes of relatives and friends for help, they will do the same to them. Big Brother loves you, and all you have to do is comply. It's so simple.

Most people will curl into a fetal position. But a few won’t. If some of those few happen to have the skills and the “gear”, then a bump appears in the road on the way to the government’s total oppression.
I am of the opinion that if/when such resistance manifests itself, a sizable number (the majority) of Americans are going to throw their lot in with the government. 40% of the people in the US will be positively AOK with the feds taking out resistors. A lot of the remaining will either comply out of fear or simply (like some in laws I have) not care because they think they will not be affected. My BIL has “gotten his” and doesn’t give a good damn what happens as long as he thinks none of the sh1t is going to land on him. Which he already believes.
