I recall an old red flag law that was passed some while back which may have some bearing and which may shed some light on the current topic.
It reads,
“(1) In particular cases, a person hostile to the government - or who it is feared may endanger public security - will be prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons.
(2) Weapons and ammunition found in the possession of such a person against whom a Prohibition has been issued, are to be confiscated without compensation.”
This is from the Nazi Weapons Law of 1938.
Tyrants seldom vary much in their tactics.
