“The neologism technical describing such a vehicle is believed to have originated in Somalia during the Somali Civil War in the early 1990s. Barred from bringing in private security, non-governmental organizations hired local gunmen to protect their personnel, using money defined as "technical assistance grants". Eventually the term broadened to include any vehicle carrying armed men. However, an alternative account is given by Michael Maren, who says the term was first used in Somalia in the 1980s, after engineers from Soviet arms manufacturer Tekniko mounted weapons on vehicles for the Somali National Movement during the Somaliland War of Independence.”

These are the types of vehicles & soldiers we will have to deal with at ‘gun confiscation’ time. Most people think it will be the local Sheriff’s Department and deputies, possibly accompanied by Military Police, FBI, BATF, and other various ‘alphabet soup’ agencies with perhaps even the assistance of United Nations forces, ‘Blue Helmets’ from China, Great Britain, Belgium, or even Germany, that will be coming to seize their firearms presumably after lists of all gun owners have been released.
It is unknown and totally unimportant whether ‘Red Flag’ laws will be invoked.
But it won’t be anything but these “technicals” which refer to both the individuals and the vehicles in which these armed “terrorists” will be traveling.
Keep these facts in mind when you plan for your future.
I don't disagree, but there are plenty of American policemen who are willing to handcuff mothers who dared take their children to the playground without masks. Defund the police was not really about defunding the police, but purging those loyal to their communities, so they can be replaced with the guys you describe.
While I have no doubt that we may very well see some of this, look at what Antifa is allowed to do as the police stand by and watch, but I think that for most, it will be nothing more physically violent than a CCP style social credit system that will force them to toe the line.
