I used to live in an Oregon county where the citizens voted to establish a "UN-Free Zone." Always on the lookout for blue helmets, they were. And yes, they lived in fear of the guvmint taking their guns. Awfully glad when I could move away from there, though the redneck area wherein I now reside keeps me on edge and yes, it's very scary.

Gotta keep the faith!
