Feinstein reveals it’s coming.
Would a bill of this type require a super majority to pass the Senate?

I was 2 minutes into a Guns & Gadgets video on the subject, when I paused the video long enough to run out and buy myself a complete lower, as a means of suggesting to DiFi that she should go get to know herself in a biblical way.

They can ban all they want but it won't change anything.

I wish that I believed that. I don't.

Let's look at the mask mandate. They really couldn't force anyone to wear a mask. It was going to be unenforceable at the citizen level with any level or quantity of law enforcement. So they didn't even try.

They enforced it on the businesses. They told the business - and they carried through on their threats - that the business was going to be punished if they didn't enforce the Covid rules. Some businesses tried to push back and some of them might even ultimately win in court. But at least for the moment, they put enough fear into most e business owners that they are doing the enforcement job. Now, it gets embellished by "Karens" who howl at the moon at the slightest hint of something but mask compliance. Don't mistake "Karen" as a gender specific term. I talked to a pet store owner today who had an elderly man go off on her over one of her 16 year old girl employees for not wearing a mask. He was angry to the point of near violence at her for not forcing the girl to wear a mask every minute of every day. I know quite a few people who have a visceral hatred of EBRs to start with and would take it upon themselves to become vigilantes, maybe even posses of vigilantes to hunt down anything that looked like a "contraband rifle." The enforcement will come at all levels - no credit card transactions, no gun sellers and no ammo.

I assure you that I just get out of bed this morning with my glass half empty.

It's all very simple. If you want to keep it your gonna have to use it. No judge, lawyer, or politician is gonna help. We're on our own.

In some way, I kinda, sorta actually hope it comes to this. No, not because I want to hurt\kill someone. Quite the opposite in fact (though I will do what needs to be done if it comes to that). But because I personally believe the "other side" is going to be in shock when the military and various police forces actually take our side or remain neutral. I'm talking the rank and file, not the upper echelons, of course.

I've heard both, but Kyle seems to be used more often. Pick your choose. :tiphat:

This would be super stupid for the "vigilantes" even "posses of vigilantes" especially the "hunting down" part.

Possible, but there is always a way - cash - barter - metals. Black market, anyone?

Extremely good points Chas.

It doesn't take 100 or even 100,000 federal LEOs, it takes a brainwashed and willing civilian gestapo. And that mindset has been cultivated in our society for decades.

I keep praying that it will never come to this. More and more I think the people running things are pushing the country towards it for a reason I cannot fully fathom. But I have also prayed that if it must come, let it come soon. Not because I want to be in it or kill anyone, but I want it to come while I am young enough to fight in it and protect my family. I want my grandchildren to grow up in a free country, whether it is the USA, the CSA (I don't honestly expect those same states to band together but some might), or the Republic of Texas.
