    I'm waiting for the right wingers who constantly worry about people taking their guns to freak out about this. A constitutional right is a constitutional right. Gotta treat them the same, or you look like a hypocrite.

    I won't hold my breath.

    Well, you should have figured out by now I'm essentially an authoritarian.

    The silver lining to Trump being a douche is that Democrat voters who were completely oblivious when Obama was doing the same shit (NDAA, look it up) are now becoming informed that these fucked up protocols actually exist.

    I won't allow anyone to take my rights away no matter who it is. Without resistance anyway. They could overpower me quite easily.

    Search what I've posted about Stop and Frisk here for years. Even though all the reasons they wanted to do it made sense to me I was still against it. That pesky constitution and all.

    Congress can pass a law that says whatever they want. Trump can write an EO that says whatever he wants. Doesn't mean I'll abide by it.

    By the way, what do you think about those right wingers saying they'd kill someone who came for their guns? Think they'd hand them over to Trump? Good luck with that.

    You stick to your beliefs. I respect that. That's the way it should be. I'm just not hearing the typical noise from the right wing crowd about this. Ans I'm not talking about just here on this board. I'm talking about the right wing media that would be frothing at the mouth if this was about the 2nd ammendment.

    And honestly, I think Trump trying to take guns from people would probably be the only thing that could make die hard Trumpers ever turn on him. Haha

    fuck Obama, my point was that many trump fans are anti government. And here comes daddy trump to make it rain. And force vaccinations. Etc. gigantic socialism.

    not even really a criticism of them, just a musing on our current reality.

    People are going to really like the 2nd amendment if they try to make this happen.

    Interesting... you think what those morons did is the same thing as standing up the government over suspending the constitution?

    Oh, the causes are very different - but the insane idea that your gun is somehow going to protect you from the federal government when push comes to shove is the same.

    There are a ton of examples of our military not succeeding in prolonged occupations. We can kick the crap out of any conventional army in a matter of a week, but our military isn't built to police long term, and this would be on our own soil. There are 400 million guns in America. In an unconventional revolution with a resistance, I suspect we would do better than you think.

    They have Overwhelming power and you would not have a gun in hand when they exercise that power. We can only use guns against scavengers and street thugs when they break in.

    Seems like it would be a whole lot easier to vote.

    But if you insist on an armed insurrection - do you think it would be the military vs all the citizens? Very unlikely. If that were the case, the military would simply defect. More likely, it would be a civil war of some sort, with a significant fraction of those 400 million guns pointed at you - along with the military firepower.
