    Boy, the left is very afraid of another Trump presidency.

    If there was only some way for the left to protect itself from the mischief of Republican faction.

    On second thought...maybe it's frustration over the inability to pervade the whole body with a rage to abolish debt, and equally divide property. Maybe the republic was specifically designed to keep so few of them from getting their way. Man, that Madison guy was a smart dude.

    well if you refuse to explain your claims then many of us will find them to be specious. The fact is, you pretended to be a gun owner yet you want to ban someone buying parts for their guns. that sort of contradiction is telling

    You assume incorrectly that I care what you think of me

    Someone who didn't care what people thought of them wouldn't respond at all. What is the point of your response?

    I laugh at your inability to admit what is obvious to most of the readers. You want to ban people being able to buy unserialized gun parts

    And?
    The whole concept is fallacious. Trump, the Heritage Foundation and many of his sycophants might try to interfere with the U.S. Government. But, no true patriot that loves our Constitution would ever consider it.

    In any case you are assuming that:
    • Americans would fight each other to destroy Government BY the people.
    • And that, if it actually came down to it, OUR military would restrain itself and not fight a total war against insurrection.
    I wouldn't count on either happening.

    I disagree with this part. In the case that the U.S. Government itself is acting unconstitutionally, which is the scenario this thread is exploring, then EVERY true patriot would, and should, consider interfering with it.

    I'm referring to wars we fought with one hand tied behind our back AND, pointing out that aircraft were employed in both in contradiction to your post.
    No, you asked for a law that protected our sons, daughters and wives.
    Quit trying to change the argument when you've been defeated.

    It's exploring the idea that even the best equipped civilians wouldn't be able to defeat our military.
    And I argue that's Trumpian bullshit. We have the greatest nation on earth, that has served ALL Americans well for 240 years, and it's only since Donald Judas Trump that any of my countrymen have found it necessary to attack their own government.

    Fact check: Trump repeats false claim that Pelosi rejected request for National Guard ahead of Jan. 6
    "Reports show military and law enforcement officials were unprepared and slow to respond to the riot. Trump has repeatedly attempted to blame that on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., claiming she rejected his request to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to the Capitol ahead of his “Stop the Steal” rally.

    But Trump’s claim was debunked by fact-checkers in March, after he first made the statement during a Fox News appearance, and it’s still not true. There is no evidence Trump made any formal request about deploying 10,000 National Guard troops before the rally.
    "
    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...-request-10000-guard-troops-jan-6/8929215002/

    To begin with, the DC National Guard is less than 2500 troops strong, Trump didn't have 10 K guard to offer. But, in any case, he didn't offer any support.

    Donald Trump has pledged in public on video as intending on having a government that would attack your neighbors, friends and family.

    mock us out of our guns or our 2A rights
    Seriously, who goes around thinking that sarcasm alone can be a difference maker in regards to the US Constitution. Seems some people are triggered quite easily. !!!!

    And how did they arrive at those numbers ;) Most folk I know wouldn't tell anyone "Survey" phone or otherwise that they have a firearm in the home, especially in the last ten years..

    All those guns and the only one killed was a unarmed woman protester by a cop.. Speaks volumes for the American gun owners, I would think ;)

    Prior to J6 there were videos of Pelosi saying it’s patriotic to protest, probably because it’s always libs who protest. I’ve seen the videos and even used them once or twice on this board. Recently I tried to find them again and can’t. Any idea why YouTube would take them down after J6?

    If I recall correctly, Pelosi was more concerned about having her daughter video record her exit from the Capital so she could make a documentary from it.
