Don't underestimate both the globalists or the brainwashed American people. We have already seen a successful 'color revolution' against the second amendment using a 'Gladio' style operation at a high school, with NGO organized protests of duped students supported by ALL corporate media outlets. I'm predicting one more of these to kick off more student protests while they are out of school for the summer.
REGIONALISM AND COGNITIVE DISSONANCE 101
https://asymmetricworldwar.wordpress.com/2018/04/12/regionalism-and-cognitive-dissonance-101/
While Trump does his part to create 'cognitive dissonance' with statements of supporting the 2A at the federal level, the globalists are already using their long established 'regionalism', via Agenda 2030, to take down the 2A at the 'state' level.
The NORMALIZATION of killing Gun Owners.
For at least a decade, law enforcement have been gunning down anyone they think, or actually does have a firearm. The American people have been 'normalized' by the globalists, that the 'authorities' can kill women and children with impunity... i.e. Waco TX... all the airstrikes against innocent people, where Americans could careless what happens to these people.
Boston Bombing psyop 'Normalization'
Most people have no clue, but the Boston Bombing was a globalist psyop, Rand corp. style, to 'trial balloon' how the dumbed down American people would react to the 'door-to-door' rounding up of Americans by their own military. I would say it was a success as the INTENDED images of Americans being 'forced at gun point' to leave their own homes were not remotely a concern by the majority of Americans who remained silent.
There was also a beta test in New York state where the 'authorities' banned guns and wanted dumbed down Americans, regionally in NY state, to give up their guns willingly. Even this had some moderate success, to my surprise.
Once the globalists 'establish' that even certain firearms are illegal and justify to the public that door-to-door confiscation of ALL firearms is 'the new normal', my guess is that anyone in a shoot out with 'authorities' will become 'the new terrorist' super villain "who kills high school kids", and the dumbed down American people will 'support-the-troop's, very select 'troops', to go door to door and 'neutralize' terrorist gun owners.
An armed American public really is the last road block standing in the way of Agenda 2030 globalism. Not the Russians or the Chinese, who by the way, demanded that American citizens be completely disarmed right after Sandy Hook false flag.
You're very correct for a segment of the population. I assure you that many more aren't falling for it. There's little point to sticking your neck onto a chopping block, and silence doesn't equal assent.
A lot of folks have firearms stashed, with pieces over the mantle to turn over in a grab.
This is not a rumor, and is known.
Admiral Yamamoto said 'I would never want to invade America. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.'
This is known too.
Some folks are playing the long game. 3D printing is now making firearms unbannable. Also, all you need is a chunk of 3/4" pipe and a nail to make a shotgun. And there are far better weapons than guns nowadays.
Americans will not be substantially disarmed. No matter what propaganda, roundups, or BS is attempted.
