They will not "come" for the guns. These people aren't stupid despite the fact they seem to be. The govt has a pretty good idea of who owns what because they have all the paperwork we fill out to buy a weapon. Of course we all have "gifts", "war trophies", "inherited guns" and guns bought in a private sale that they don't know about. But they have a record of a huge amount of sales going way back. Notice that every body uses a card now instead of money. Some stores have stopped taking cash and the govt wants cash gone where all private transactions can be taxed. As soon as everything is electronic and everything you possess is in the electronic world..............you're ass is toast. They'll send you a letter with the guns they think you have demanding they be turned over to the local national guard armory within X number of days. If you do not bring them in they will press a button and your bank account will be locked and probably your lights gas and water also. If you have any kind of public service job that will disappear although if your not getting paid that won't matter much. How many people, especially if they have children, can make it through something like this. You'll lose everything you have. People will be bringing guns in and saying "where do you all want us to pile these"? People that live off grid in remote places won't be safe either. They're the people they'll use to make examples of to bring other hold outs in line. A few infantry and an APC at a remote dwelling and if the residents resist they will be quickly and efficiently done away with and then on to the next. I know all this shit sounds preposterous but if you had told me 50 years ago that the stuff going on today was in the future, I'd have had you put in the nut house.
He's right ya know. Can't argue with one word, not one. And don't discount what your neighbors see, that you think they don't, and the average individual's prevalence toward self-preservation in the face of danger. There's an entire faction out there that took, "If you see something, say something." to heart and have made it a way of life.
