A Silent Indicator of Where America Is Headed Politically

The way of all communists

[RipSawyer]

I have said more than once on FR that Donald J. Trump could be a character stepping off the pages of Atlas Shrugged. I first read it as a teenage sailor in 1963.

While MIL may be majority “conservative”, it really doesn’t matter. Conservatives should never slavishly trust any MIL, regardless. Neither because they might be mostly of like mind, nor because the commies “loathe” the MIL. As soon as the commies are in power, they will LOVE the MIL and use it. That is what statists are all about...being militaristic.

[Black Agnes]

The kids in the military had the same education as the ones marching in the streets.

They largely believe the same thing.

Brainwashing works.

[the OlLine Rebel]

But definitely have action shots of the riots happening. Would be best to have wide-range shots to show how big it is.

[CatOwner]

Typical response, with no counter-argument. I make my points without getting personal. Try it some time. Or ping Jim and have me removed or banned if you don’t want to hear what I have to say. What’s annoying is others are saying pretty much the same thing that I get criticized for, yet no one questions their posts. And some of them are even more spot on than mine.

[sport]

You are correct. Look around you if you don't believe it. I have heard, “We got guns” for the longest. Yet the Left goes about accomplishing their agenda day by day bit by bit. They do not believe that there is any fight in us any longer. Look how easy the sheep submitted to being totally and completely controlled by the Government. The tone of the Country has changed. The younger generation[s] are no longer interested in being free to make their own decisions. Instead, they prefer Government Programs to control and care for them from the cradle to the grave. And they vote accordingly, along with other adult fools and idiots. But these fools and idiots, along with the young have put Communists and Socialists in power World wide since the 1920s. This virus scam was a prime example. Suddenly seemingly intelligent individuals lost their ability to think and reason rationally. These riots we had and are to some extent, still having. The Left consolidated their control one step further. A large segment of the public, including the Police and National Guard publicly expressed their sympathy and support for the rioters. To wit}BLM or Black Lives Matter. They indicated this and demonstrating this by publicly in broad daylight on public streets kneeling in front of members of BLM and giving them a symbolic blow job. This has never happened before until now. People need to face facts and get out of their denial.

Since when do you have to have a carry permit to purchase guns and ammo, never heard of never needed one. Although I am seriously considering getting one, its getting too uncertain out there to go anywhere unarmed.

I do know that a state like Illinois requires a FOID card, but I do not live in a commie state.

[joma89]

I am glad to see folks are following my guidance in my tagline.

BLM and the media lives in a bubble and you live in a bubble.

I think you are living in the media bubble.

[elbook]

.

Silent indicator is how many guns have been bought recently by first time gun owners.

[DallasBiff]

Also CatOwner, I have a friend who lives 3 blocks from where the protests happened in Beverly Grove(LA) and was shocked at the violence that happened.

She was a big supporter of Newsom before the riots, saying he was keeping people safe, after the protesters, she is looking to get a gun.

[gitmo]

I’ve had friends in the last couple weeks if they could borrow guns.

My proposed GOP ad:

(silent background)

Video of Joe Biden kneeling. Video of Senators kneeling.

(patriotic music background playing with photo of President Trump)

Real Americans kneel to no-one.

Stand up tall and proud for America.

Re-elect President Trump.

Excellent!

More likely France circa 1789

“ Count me in. For the first time in my nobody life, I’m purchasing an actual firearm (probably a .22 rifle) next week.”

Please consider at least a 9mm. A.22 won’t even get through a heavy leather jacket sometimes. There are some nice carbines available if you don’t want a 9mm pistol. Recoil is minimal on a 9mm carbine.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Wouldn’t that depend on the Ammo? I know there’s a more powerful version called .22 Long, IIRC.

[elcid1970]

“No amount of individual gun owners will change the direction of the country. This isn’t like the Revolutionary War days. Not even close.”

Your defeatist attitude is as wrongheaded as it is unrealistic. Huge gun sales and ammo sales are indeed consequential and are making the powers that be hesitate. What about blue states that passed “assault weapons bans” years ago and even now have about a 10% compliance rate.

Have their governors sent out their flying monkeys to bang on citizen’s doors? Told their confiscators to anticipate angry armed citizens with nothing to lose behind the front door?

No Gestapo or KGB agent ever had to worry about being doxxed. Gun grabbers’ capabilities don’t even begin to rise to the level of their hateful intentions. Eight years of Obama inaction proved that.

So buck up! It’s not as bad as all that.

And for your homework, I want an operational plan as to how mass confiscation or imprisonment of gun owners will be carried out. The whole enchilada: situation, enemy forces, friendly forces, mission, concept of operations, logistics & manpower to be utilized, chain of command, boom-boom-boom.

You’ll find it requires more than just a wave of a governor’s manicured fingers. Ask the Virginia gubernator.

[higgmeister]

It's you that is wrong.   In every communist revolution, the instigators are lined up against a wall and killed because the new order cannot trust them to be tolerant of the changes they bring.   That is why they have been called "useful idiots", “useful innocents”, or "useful fools."
