The mask issue is simple. People in communities want to remain a part of those communities, and if your community includes people who are at risk for serious complications related to Covid, you're more likely to mask up because even if they're wrong, most people don't want to be blamed for someone's loved one dying of Covid. So that's an easy one to pressure people into. Now, away from home, people are more likely to disregard this.
Businesses being shut down? Here in PA, hundreds of businesses have just said fuck off and remained open. And they've been slammed with business by people supporting them. That's really not an issue to start killing people over yet even though so many people seem to have a Call of Duty Boner thinking about the wetwork.
The vaccine thing is kinda tricky as well, because they're going to make anyone who is reluctant to take it out to be some crazy anti-vaxxer, which is not the case (but that play will work unless people refuse, loudly, publicly, and in droves).
Taking guns? Who knows how many will resist...it's never happened. My guess is that a few will comply in the beginning until someone loudly and publicly resists. At that point, who knows how many more value freedom over seeing their children grow up, even in a shitty world.
