It seems like only yesterday when every democrat who was within earshot was saying "NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS" and suggesting that anyone who said otherwise was wearing an tinfoil hat and had been seduced by the NRA. ANy mention of planned gun confiscation as a reason for not voting democrat was dismissed as insanity.
Well, it was not that long ago that Bozo O'Rourke proclaimed that "Hell Yes, We’re Going to Take Your AR-15". It seems pretty clear that he is psychotic. So many of his primary opponents (back when he was in the race) called him crazy - not for believing it, but for saying it out loud.
Given recent events in Virginia, it is also true that Bozo's words were prophetic. Fast forward to this very week, we have several newly elected leftist politicians in Virginia going full gun ban and confiscation. In response to that, many counties in VA have decided the become sanctuaries for the Second Amendment (can you imagine needed to create a sanctuary in order to practice the rights enshrined in the Constitution?).
Take this one for instance; Rep. Donald McEachin suggested using the National Guard to force compliance; “I’m not the governor, but the governor may have to nationalize the National Guard to enforce the law. That’s his call, because I don’t know how serious these counties are and how severe the violations of law will be. But that’s obviously an option he has." And he is just one of many. Their message is "We expect you to obey - or else!"
As has been noted here before, THEY won't do it - he is threatening to have others with guns do it if you do not comply. NO matter who you are - think about that - and if it does not give you great concern, then you are not an American.
So here we are. Imagine where we will be, what the "or else" might look like:
- As is now evident, people in VA (and elsewhere) are not going to give them up willingly, will not be lining up to hand over their freedom to you. You can pass your laws, set the date, time, and place, but don't bet on getting all of them. Oh, a few perhaps....but not all.
- That means you are going to need willing people with guns to come and take them - because we know you are not going to do it yourself.
- Many of those you will allow to have guns (e.g., law enforcement and that National Guard you want to mobilize) are the same people you are threatening with disarmament and violence. Many of them are not going to be willing to engage in such lawless behavior in violation of the Bill of Rights. So tough guy, what is your next move?
- Those you CAN get to agree to violate their oath and be your armed confiscators are ultimately going to have to go from house-to-house in your state to retrieve them, knocking on or breaking down doors, and engaging in gun battles with the occupants.
- Someone with guns knocks on the door or kicks it in under color of your unconstitutional law, says they're here to take my property? Lethal force is now justified.
- Yes, those who refuse your tyranny, defend themselves and their property from unlawful confiscation will be labelled as gun nuts, right wing crazies, militia, white nationalists (as if whites will be the only ones resisting), domestic terrorists, fascists, deplorables clinging to their God and guns.
- Ah, but how long do you think the comfortable surburbanite soccer moms who have their "Moms demand action for gun sense in America" stickers are going to be in favor of this (sub)urban warfare in their sweet little neighborhood, on their little street. Will the American people really stand by for that? Talk about abuse of power!
Most Americans have no stomach for war and death. Well, sometimes the cowards do if it is on the other side of the world, in someone else's neighborhood. But bring it home, on their street? Most Americans have never taken an oath to defend the Constitution against ALL enemies - foreign AND domestic. But many of us did and will fulfill that oath as necessary. I know such focus, commitment, and sheer will is beyond most people's sheep-like condition. But I've had a long life, and I will not die on my knees to such tyranny.
