Doesn't have to make sense, just has to give them power and control. We have ongoing police drone and helicopter patrols over private property to ensure people are "doing the right thing" in their own homes and the fines for non-compliance will wipe out most ordinary people's savings (for example, one instance of being unmasked in public will cost you over $1600).
Oh, by the way, there hasn't been a single recorded COVID case in this state for over two weeks. Not one. If you give them the power THEY WILL NOT STOP.
You're right re gun laws - that cost us our ability to fight back - but I also think it runs deeper. We've never fought for our freedom the same way Americans did. We're still subjects of the Queen and we've never had a war on home soil. It makes a difference in the whole national attitude - we were very comfortable for a long time and the cost of that was abstract to most people. Therefore, they don't appreciate what it takes to retain comfort and freedom, or that the wolf is always at the door.
Yes, they want revolution but they have no understanding of the reality of that. The latte-sipping urbanites would be the ones to ultimately suffer most in the "utopia" they think they're creating. Anyone living in the West today has it better than essentially every other human who has ever lived, and they just can't see that or appreciate how rare and fragile it is (and the US has it best of all!).
For the sake of my future children, I hope we don't have to go all the way to the bottom of the "hard times" part of the cycle, but I fear it is inevitable. Stay strong, fellow patriot.
