Journalist James O’Keefe, a well known controversial far-right activist
has done it again. He recorded a Department of Defense employee
expressing how the National Guard can be used to confiscate guns from
citizens. Despite the underhanded tactics by O’Keefe, the video gives
insight on the government’s attitude towards the Second Amendment, specifically the use of firearms and gun ownership.
This specific "interview" is startling for two reasons. One, the
interview was conducted secretly, in what appears to be a casual setting.
And two, the subject of the interview seems to be a high-ranking
government official. Identified as Jason Beck, the subject works for the
DoD as an “associate director.” And he has plenty to say about gun
control.

federal government, however its primary purpose is to respond to
domestic emergencies like natural disasters and civil unrests.

using a firearm in the United States could be seen as inciting civil
unrest.
Beck suggested the abolishment of the Second Amendment. He is advocates
for the government to confiscate all the guns, underscoring a
fundamental disagreement with some principles in the Constitution
He suggested that they could use the National Guard to confiscate all
the firearms. This alludes to He suggested the confiscation of firearms
be done through the National Guard.
