It’s anybody’s guess. But in my opinion the most like contenders would be:

a) Foreign troops on our soil acting as a “police force”  
b) U.N. troops on our soil acting as a “police force”  
c) Firearms ban  
d) Random checkpoints (“I vont to see your papers, please…”)

Possible? Yes. But I pray it will never come to that.
