Leftist politicians rarely tell the truth. Their policies and ideals are so bad that they can't, and they know it, thus the nonstop hyperbole, grandstanding, and projection. It's infuriating that so many Americans either are unable to see this, thanks in part to a complicit MSM, or so blinded by their ideology that they choose to ignore the fact that they get endlessly played by those they keep electing.
As with any good totalitarian leftist regime, gun confiscation is at the top of the leftist wish list. It's much easier to institute control and compliance over an unarmed citizenry than it is an armed one.

Be careful confiscating mine. The barrels will be hot.

They’ll come for my weapon, oh yes
But learn to their pain and distress
They won’t get my gun
Just the slugs one by one

All Americans alive today were born under a Constitution that explicitly acknowledges their right to keep and bear arms. Leftist confiscation attempts, short of a Constitutional amendment, will put them downrange of millions of angry, legally armed Americans and that is not an enviable place to be.

Just one little problem, Tishaura and your lefties. You won't be able to control the black market or the cartels. They will come for you locked and loaded. And by the way, don't waste your time trying to disarm Americans either.

It’s very likely, after everything American patriots have experienced in gorilla warfare on foreign soils over the years, that guns may not be the only worries for America’s enemies, especially when it comes to protecting their own on their own soil.

The "Molon Labe's" have been tossed around for years, but with the current state of the country, the disappearance of the rule of law and (IMO) its coming quasi-collapse, I don't think that it's a cliche anymore.

Why is it that we on the Right constantly dread what the Left are up to, while the Left keep ignoring us and plodding ahead with their radical and tyrannical policies? Where are OUR radical policies that go back to the Constitution?

An American Leftist/Totalitarian government will find a way to seize every gun when the time comes. American troops seized every civilian weapon in Germany and Japan when those countries were occupied in 1945. Armed troops went door to door. If you filled out a 4473 at retail purchase they know who you are and where you live. You are first. Bought mail order ammo, or parts? They know!
The 2nd Amendment can be obliterated overnight by a Leftist Supreme Court.
American freedoms are in great danger this very day. I fear for America.

I believe that there are now about two guns per citizen in this country. Good luck coming for them, demonicrats.

I suppose our laws can be twisted to destroy the 2nd. Amendment like they were twisted to indict Trump, but twisting the law and confiscating the guns are 2 different things.

Dimwit Mayor Jones of St. Louis making meaningless gestures. She and her minions can pass all the local laws that they want, but in Missouri, they have pre-emption on all gun laws except open carry. So local laws cannot stop anyone who can own a gun legally from carrying it concealed legally. They can only regulate open carry.
Stupid witch did the max that is legal....which is damned little, since the number of folks carrying openly, at least in the midwest cities, in my experience, is vanishingly small, while the number carrying concealed it far higher.
But the author is right - they want us all disarmed. The taking of our food and things will go easier if we are disarmed, they are convinced.

In leftist and socialist jargon a so-called “insurrectionist” is anyone of domestic or foreign origin who does not wholeheartedly embrace the leftist and socialist Democrat political agenda.

They’ve been coming for our guns for about 75 years. Any sane person with an IQ above 80 knows it. They’ve tried everything during that time. We’re not going to give up our rights that easily. And, #9, they won’t come door to door to get our guns, because eventually they’ll run out of cops and soldiers...
Every time someone mentions to me that our rights aren’t absolute, I always ask them: what part of “shall not be infringed” is unclear to you? They always abandon their argument at that point.

In WW2 the allies made an extremely cheap, single shot pistol called the Liberator. It was air dropped to French resistance fighters. Its purpose was to get close to a German, shoot him in the head and take his good rifle.
Everything we have will work for that situation. The communists would be good to remember that.

I think it's safe to assume if you are as old as the hills, you may have one or maybe even two unregistered guns somewhere.

Saw a headline the other day saying 43 per cent of the world's firearms are owned in the US. That is a yuge number of firearms to get hold of.

Remember, in Hunger Games, she only had a bow and arrows. They really don't want us armed as they continue to anger us.

Where ya been Brad? This GG agenda has been going on for at least a couple decades now. Maybe they should do some research into the Japanese mindset in WWII? They didn't invade because they knew that they could count on nearly every house on every block in flyover country having at least one weapon, possibly more.
