Its time for a gun distribution not a gun "buyback".
What stops him from doing a Venezuela style operation on Ottawa? It would be way easier.
Picture it.
Weeks before anything happens, “tourists” drift into the Ottawa–Gatineau area. Covert operators quietly building a temporary command and surveillance hub a few blocks from power. They watch convoys, map patrols, tag cameras, log which lights are on in which buildings at 3 AM.
Then, one night at 2 AM, while everyone is asleep and the country is doped on the belief that “it can’t happen here”, a column of light armored vehicles rolls off Fort Drum and heads for the border at Cornwall. On the Canadian side: a couple of CBSA officers staring, frozen, as steel and guns pour across the bridge like a tide they have no hope of stopping. No declaration. No warning. No heroic standoff. Just engines, headlights, and an hour of empty highway and sleeping towns to Ottawa.
By the time anyone in authority understands what’s happening, the column is already in the capital and the “tourists” have flipped the switch on comms, security, and access points.
And then the sun rises. You don’t wake up to a dramatic battle for Canada, jets dogfighting over the river and tanks trading shots on Wellington. You wake up, make coffee, look out the window and realize you now live in America, and nobody even fired a shot trying to stop it.
