Executive Order 6102 is an executive order signed on April 5, 1933, by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt "forbidding the hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States." The executive order was made under the authority of the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917, as amended by the Emergency Banking Act in March 1933.
During the onset of COVID on the national news there were numerous stories of the government confiscating an accusing individuals of hoarding supplies. So there is recent examples of the government making it illegal to have or to stockpile certain items.
Does anyone really think that their emergency supplies or preps are secure when the government can declare them illegal?
EDIT: President Ford repealed this EO in the 1970s. But the point is this has been done before and it can happen again.
