I'm not for gun control, but if law enforcement comes after you, your guns don't do you any good. You can scare off a bureaucrat, but they can call a three letter agency to fuck you up.
I'll look up the internment camp stuff; that sounds horrific.

Law enforcement can’t target everyone.
Local police can’t stop a riot. You saw this in Minneapolis where rioters burned down a police station

I'm pretty sure they weren't trying to stop those riots. Whether they could have is an open question.

Where do you get your news?
I am surprised you didn’t know about what happened in Australia 🇦🇺.

I remember a bit about it from 3 years ago. I just spent a good while reading about it and it seems it was overblown at the time and was mostly just quarantine for travelers. But I wasn't there so don't want to assume too much.

People were arrested for in person gatherings and not getting the spike protein.
We shouldn’t be surprised by this policy
In Australia voting is mandatory. You cannot choose to abstain.
Australia 🇦🇺 denied entry to Novak. He wasted his time flying there for the Australian open. The COVID regime wanted to embarrass a tennis celebrity publicly
