I don’t think they are going to confiscate the guns. They will let everyone stockpile all the guns they want. The trick is to complete the communist takeover by degrees, without ever giving people anything to shoot at. This makes the guns irrelevant. Eventually the people are so beaten down and complacent (by degrees) that the guns are just these useless collector’s objects sitting on shelves. They might even be using guns, as a concept, to boil us longer than they might have been able to if we didn’t constantly have this line in the sand - “I will put up with this, and this, and this, and this, and this - but when they come for the guns, oh boy, then it’s on!”
The sheep need to be led, but right wing people tend to think that we should leave people to their own devices.
Sheep can wake up, most don’t. But if we lead them to greener pastures they will stay.
We can’t just keep bitching that people are too gullible and easily manipulated. If thats the case we need to be the ones manipulating.
But we don’t know how to do that ethically, which is why they have the advantage for now. The psychopath advantage is not a long term winning strategy, but in the short term it can look like its working.
This is why Republics last for 250~ years and communism doesn't last for 100.
My guess is that nothing happens til they start the gun confiscation. And that is right before the cattle cars.
