The Biden people will have to find a way to undo those gains. They just have to! The future of America depends on it!

What are you talking about? Didn't you know this was Obama's economy? Biden brought back the economy after the lockdown. That was him!

I think this is so funny. How we get profiled. But peeps act as if it doesn't exist. Whatever.

I'm 6'6", large build, have a beard and long hair. Kinda look like a biker. Do you know what cops do when I approach them? Imagine me out there with a long gun? WP would have a field day.

I guess it depends on your meaning here. None of us 2a ers are stupid enough to go running around in a riot shooting people. That's crazy.

Nobody's asking you to shoot people. Donald has a military to do that if necessary... or desired.

The question is: Who's going to keep an eye on the military to make sure they don't go tyrannical?

Apparently nobody.

Responsible people do not just go commit random acts of violence like that. That is not a 'fight'. That is murder. So yeah, we stay home.

That's right -- you stay home, put your guns away, obey the curfew, and do whatever the government demands to insure your submission.

If they come to us, and we are put in a situation where we must defend ourselves, we have done nothing wrong.

You've done nothing at all. The government thanks you for your passivity.

No complaining. How many times have I tried to bring this to peoples attention? You want to mock me when I try to warn you? You can deal with it when it happens.

I have tried more times than I can link to this post.

LostMarbels said:

See... I don't believe this at all. Even when I bring up actual misuse of an obscene amount of power that has been enmassed by the executive branch, it's crickets. People do not realy care beyond the montra, and talking point perception.

LostMarbels said:

No it's not. And if you realy want to get mad, you should be focused on all the power the executive branch his enmassed itself due to this shut down. It is alarming, and I can't believe I am the only one addressing it.

LostMarbels said:

Then why do you keep advocating giving him more power, and I am saying stop it?

Giving power to the government is never the answer. Wake up. Listen to what I am saying.

Doesn't answer my question -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

No one.... because no one will listen. Everything is a freaking 'conspiracy theory'.

People are so hell-bent, absolutely intent on the destruction of Donald Trump they are not even paying attention to how their own actions are going to effect them. No one thinks about the blow back of setting a legal precedent. No one considers their actions will be used against them. Every single act, piece of legislation or power that has been enacted to try and get rid of Trump is now under his authority to use. So determined, so convinced they would remove him, they ended up giving him an insane amount of power, and the legal justifications to use it. Including this riot, they just handed Trump the legal authority for martial law. Thanx... appreciated.

I guess once the militias got their haircuts, nothing else was important.

Yes, yes.... it's all the Left's Fault.

The Second Amendment was supposed to be the last line of defense against a tyrannical government... see how easily it's been neutered.

How soon (and how predictably) the patriots forget their last march...








Well, who can blame them... prancing around the Governor's mansion in Michigan is one thing... but talking back to Donald? Some things we just can't have...

You see... there is this little thing about draining a swamp? A bunch of people were saying there would have to be these civilian trials held by military tribunals. Well you see... you need martial law to do that. No one could figure out (political speaking) how to do that without a 2a uprising. You see, in the last 3 months alone, over 6 million guns and hundreds of millions rounds of ammo were sold due to 2a ers being nervous about dictatorial measures Trump was taking, and the loss off civil liberties. But... instead of making Trump act like a tyrannical emperor, he was kind of gifted with a nationwide race riot that ran out of control. Happy birthday!... woo hoo! Right? Quite a present huh?

So now he kinda is the hero that is going to stop the looters instead of the tyrant that imposed martial law. But... he is a razors edge from people stepping down on him.

This is so naive I do not even know if it is intentional, or a complete lack of understanding of gun culture.

Aldebaran said:

Yikes! All those Conservatives with guns! I wonder how many people were killed and how many buildings were looted and burned after this demonstration. Oh, the humanity!

Click to expand...

As usual, you're missing the point. They protested the government because they couldn't get a haircut.

Where are they now that the government is sending the troops into their neighborhoods?

Answer: They're at home, guns locked in their safes, obeying curfew like good little subjects.

Probably at work. Conservatives go to work, and don't seem to have as much 'free time' on their hands in the middle of a work week.

We keep the country running, liberals don't care so go to the streets

Aldebaran said:

If the military is coming in to restore order, why would the people you're talking about be out?

Click to expand...

The same thing they claimed they were doing when they marched on those state capitols -- watching the watchmen; reminding the powers that be that "we the people" will not sacrifice liberty for the feeling of safety.

What do you expect them to do?

Click to expand...

I "expect" them to stay home and follow the government's orders in perfect submission, not daring to so much as speak a strongly worded warning to the powers that be.

But they might surprise me by being consistent.
