About 100 thousand, that's all. That's spread out across every agency that arms some or all of their personnel, inc. the FBI, BATFE, DEA, IRS, Treasury, etc, etc. They have a vast number of tasks to do as it is. However, even if they were ALL told to stop what they are doing and do nothing but confiscate firearms, they still wouldn't have enough folks. Double their numbers. Still not enough. Can they cause huge amounts of pain and anguish? Sure they can. However, nothing would tick off more folks in this nation than some sort of crazy mass confiscation scheme. Folks that currently think of themselves as "moderates" and sit on the fence might take a dim view of house-to-house searches en mass. Besides, I truly think you are giving government agencies WAY more credit than they deserve.
That's not how it'll play out. Remember all the hype the past few years about how the White Supremacists are the biggest threat to America? How many incidents have you seen on the news about WS? If there had been, it would be all over the news non stop. I can count on one hand, how many I've heard of. And most of those were what I'd consider insane, not truly WS. My belief is that it's being ingrained into peoples psyche so that when anyone tries to stand off with them they're labeled WS. Instant public disdain. After a few reported incidents, you'll see them having your neighbors turn you in because they know you had guns. So you must be a WS. They won't just use ATF, they'll have NG along beside them. You'll see a few Waco's and Ruby Ridges. And seeing as we're not the ones antagonizing them, we won't be attacking back.

Trump fumbled corona virus and sabotaged his re-election.

Trump received more votes than Obama ever did.

I believe his open the country policy was correct, but I believe his anti mask policy was wrong.
I don't believe he fumbled it at all. The left didn't know how to deal with him last time. They played right into his campaign by trying to trash him all the time. They gave him more TV time than any other candidate. He didn't have to spend nearly as much as any other candidate, and they kept the focus on things he was talking about. They learned from their unintentional help. They decided to change it, they did the opposite. They hammered him on everything, whether it was correct or not. They censored anything that could be harmful to their candidate, and threw all these "Fact Checks" up. If they couldn't lie enough to say it was false, they would say it's misleading. They changed the language, as they do in their fight against our rights. I can't tell you any time I hear a news report about the discrepancies found in the election or in the flat out illegal activities that the announcer doesn't say "Trump's Unfounded Accusations of voter fraud". Trump campaigned the way he did last time, they were just ready for him. In more than one way.

It's very scary to see the capabilities they have now. Republican, Democrat or Independent... You should be afraid, very afraid. George Orwell and Orson Wells are probably screaming from their graves "I tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen"
