You nailed it on both accounts.
I think 100 years from now people will write about how the globalist conspiracy was undone by the wild west of the internet.
And they would like to get the guns, but as important as that seems, they would rather grab and control the internet much more badly.
All the guns on earth don’t matter if opposing information cannot move freely and rapidly. Without this network, designed specifically to survive a nuclear war, we would be easy to roll up one by one...turning guns into an increasingly restricted and dying option. That’s how it happened in England. One law, after another, after another,,,followed by a generation or two of kids that didn’t grow up around them. Then do the final round up.
We all wait for the national guard to try confiscation from a standing start and think we will all resist. Meanwhile, that round up day never comes, and we sit idly while the internet is slowly being strangled. When it becomes fully controlled, dealing with guns is as easy as heavy restrictions, and waiting for a generation to die.
