Back in the 1930’s, President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 6102 that required everyone to return their gold holdings back to the U.S. government.
Although the limitation on gold ownership has since been repealed, the risk still remains that governments could do this again today, albeit only if gold prices were much higher, said E.B. Tucker, director of Metalla Royalty & Streaming and author of “Why Gold? Why Now? The War Against Your Wealth and How to Win It.”

American sense of freedom, equality and morality is all very warped. The rest of the world can't follow down the same drain.
I can laugh at most of the world can't eat gold
I've read a couple of very interesting books that discuss this issue. Apparently back in 1933 only a small percentage of people handed their gold back in and of those that didn''t only a handful were prosecuted.
I believe the government will go after your financial accounts such as 401k, IRA's and the like before they go after your gold. Basically because as you said not that many people are holding large amounts of gold.
Wouldn’t be the first time.
You can hide your our gold in the hole in your body and they won't know 😂
Very few people own gold outside jewelry. I think more people will flock to BTC as a store of value..harder to control, confiscate and easier to move from one person to another and one country to another.
POS three year old interview, thanks a lot YouTube. No thanks.
The potential confiscation of PM's is very real. That's why it's much better for those with lots of it to buy small plot agricultural land instead. Every form of government from dictatorship to republic absolutely needs food to sustain itself. Confiscating farmland rarely occurs, although it has happened multiple times in the 20th century. Redistributionists tend to go after large landowners not the small bits & pieces. Gold is not a necessity, food is. 8 acres of peaches has less risk, pays a dividend, & likely won't be confiscated by Big Brother.
no it cannot. besides only 1.5 percent of americans own silver or gold. stop the terror tactics
no it cant
Another coward afraid to resist tyranny. Cowards go to hell. Rev.21:8.
Not only gold will be confiscated soon, silver, platinum, copper and other assets too, real estate is expropiated in an indirect way, and Krypto won't be useable soon (and even will be a legal penitentiary risk, for holders and traders). The ONLY WAY TO DEFEND YOUR SAVINGS now, is the political struggle for the restauration of the State of Right, Democracy acording to Constitution and criminal persecution of all those public "servants" and private "filantropists", who have systematically violated basic rights and usurpated governance, in openly admitted criminal conspiration, creating new levels of organized crime worldwide.
I lost my gold in a boating accident!
The government can confiscate anything they want – ur house, ur car, ur cash, ur paper assets, and hard assets. If they want it, they can and will take it. The question is will they?
I mean whats actually stopping them?
A 4th amendment violation could solicit a 1st amendment response. JS
This needed said.
They come for gold, you give them lead.
They try to take anything I own and all they will get is hot lead
I would sooner dissolve it in acid than give my hard work away to a government that is actively destroying its currency by not being fiscally responsible and sending money overseas.
