CMV: This is the gun grab.

Step 1: Create State Militas run by federal deputies

Step 2: revisit Heller, etc. and stress well run milita part.

Step 3: confiscate all non milita weapons.

Step 4: burn Constitution?

    British did exactly this when perpetrating the Boston massacre prior to the Revolution.

    Well… It’s not the first time the National Guard gunned down protesters. No one was ever held responsible for Kent State murders, and Kent State was not the only college that saw National Guard violence. 60 years ago, and in that time, no laws were changed to prevent it from happening again.

    Ok then. This sounds exactly like the stuff all you Second Amendment aficionados have been warning about my entire life. I assume that you’re all prepping, and gearing up to take out these federal goons when they show up in your town. Right? I mean, if this isn’t it, then you’ve just been cosplaying that ‘don’t tread on me’ bravado this whole time. Time to put up.

      Motherfucker the second amendment doesn’t only apply to “aficionados”, but all citizens. Where were you when they banned the most effective guns with which to resist tyranny?

      So that means you’re stepping up too, right? You didn’t just ask me to go die alone for you because you couldn’t be bothered and maybe don’t like guns to begin with, right? You realize that there’s a difference between one guy with a gun and forty guys with guns, RIGHT?

      Google Cliven Bundy or MFAC for admittedly unfavorable but effective examples of this, and then feel free to fuck off after that.

      Or were you talking to the more numerous MAGA gun nuts who can’t wait to goose step over and kiss some boots and who obviously won’t be lifting a finger to stop any of this?

      I hate your shitty, smug, and typical response because this shit is serious and you’re a fucking joke.

        So what’s the most effective fun? And what century are you in if you think having guns is going to be much help when they just call in a drone strike.

        That was before drones.

        Bro chill. They were talking direct to all the people who scream that they need guns after the latest school shooting prompts people to talk about gun control. All the people who have guns “for self defense” because they believe that stealing a TV deserves the death penalty. All the people who claim that guns are important to stand up to tyranny while they vote for conservatives time after time.

        You’re taking this to such a personal level and we’re [probably] not even talking about you.

    I have a great idea for a name, too. They can call them Guard Emplacements Suppressing Tyranny And Protecting Order.

      Trump is the most dangerous criminal in the states. If he really wanted to clean up crime, he’d turn himself in.

      They’ve been trying to spin literally any protests or even just token resistance as criminal, and rural voters, by and large, absolutely believe that cities are hives of crime and iniquity.

        I expect sooner or later, there will be a big massacre where protestors are shot down. Surprised it hasn’t happened yet

        It’s not just that: I have a brother who’s not even that conservative but seems to sincerely believe the Gaza protests on college campuses are terrorism and Trump is justified in cutting medical research associated with those colleges

        It’s not just rural voters. I was just at a dentist apt in suburban Washington and the hygienist was talking about how her son just moved away from California and that she was glad he was getting away because of “how bad the crime has gotten in California”.
