We're not gonna take your guns.

But owning those guns are illegal.

So if you get pulled over it doesn't matter what paperwork you had the day before.

They just take it?

Shit is gonna get worse before it gets better. There's no big "militia" to say no. At the end of the day:

WE MUST HANG TOGETHER OR SURELY WE SHALL HANG SEPARATELY

and very few people are willing to give up their $14 hour job when their family depends on them to scrape by. Very few people are self sufficient enough anymore to survive without a job they hate. Plot of a land with 2 acres of farm can support a single person year round easy. All that money people could be saving? Nobody thinks of it. Heating bill? A modified wood fireplace does the job. It's not like America is running out of land. Hell, I can't even collect rainwater in my backyard without breaking the law, you'd just have to rely on government free water and hope there's no fucking lead in it. Because that's something I should be afraid of in a 1st World country.

Power goes out and people act like the world is ending. Solar panels, small windmill, emergency generator... It's amazing what people refuse to buy because "they'll never need it. The government wouldn't let it happen for long."

This is why the word "Sheep" fits so perfectly. They live their life, munch on grass, and absolutely refuse to consider a future where stuff isn't perfect.

The only people who care are nearly outnumbered 10 to 1, but that's not the problem, the problem is they're all disorganized. Maybe, maybe, if 50,000 people across America were to join together they could take over 1 state... for all of 15 days until the FBI realized they weren't joking and just stormed the place with a few armored cars.

The public education system did it's job. Whether accidentally or on purpose, it created multiple cascading generations of people with no useful skills, reliant on big brother to spoon feed them, despite the fact they could take anything they wanted if they'd so much as open their eyes.

This isn't the civil war, where both were on equal footing until one side ran out of resources. This is a single slave with a sharp stick about to be beaten half to death by fifty people.

It's not going to be a single gunshot. It's going to be grains of sand rusting pieces off the barrel and in Virginia it just broke off.
