I can’t actually find a coherent argument from Dave here. All I see is him warning about unspecified “dangers” without actually thinking through any scenarios.

“I would gamble that Dave has heard rumblings of enactment of some of the things he talks about.”

I would gamble that he hasn’t. Of course, if your gamble is based on anything but guesswork… then let’s see your evidence. Otherwise, it’s just meaningless speculation, I’m afraid.
