More tired talking points...
The government isn't retarded enough to literally go door to door and confiscate metals. They didn't do it in the 30s when the population was 90% White and was more compliant, but you think they'll do it today when everyone hates the government, including the local sheriff/police, who also don't want to get their faces blown off?
The 3 types of people that own lots of PMs are 3 groups you don't want to fuck with anyways. Rich people that have all sorts of private security and are probably buddy-buddy with the local government. Redneck preppers that are also probably buddy-buddy with their local sheriff and would have no problem blowing a law enforcement officer away if they were stealing private property. And literal MS-13 or other gangsters that also don't give a fuck about killing cops and care more about their jewelry than life itself. Your Boomer grandpa with his $1,000 silver coin collection isn't giving it up either, he'll hide in under the stairs or some shit.
Also, the government doesn't even know what you own anyways. Any in-person trade, especially with cash isn't even on the books. Even if you buy with a card online, the 3rd party card-issuer/bank doesn't know what specific items you bought, they just know how much you spent and at what store. The store doesn't keep any financial records past 7 years in most cases, so your order number is permanently lost by that point anyways. They probably don't even keep it past 3 years in most cases.
The reason you stay secretive, keep your shit in a safe, put up security cameras and in some cases have insurance, is to prevent the possibility of some crackhead losers robbing your house when you're at work, and having a claim if they do.
Nobody is worried about some professional jewel theif doing some Mission Impossible shit to steal your PMs. Those guys would rob a jewelry store, or a BRINKS truck. And most crime like that is digital now anyways.
