The 22 gets no respect. It should terrify any sane person. It was invented in a time when they were putting theory into practice too.
It wasn’t a fun gun to them.

Prepare for anything is a very true line.

I think Trump will win.

God is on his side.

A post from last September, Donald Trump: The Machiavellian Man.

Illegal actions, if not outright felonies, are sometimes necessary to (re)establish republics. Romulus murdered his brother, created a senate, and with it, the Roman Republic. Closer to home, George Washington occasionally resorted to the confiscation of private property in order to feed and keep his soldiers. Machiavelli wrote, “It is truly appropriate that while the act accuses him, the result excuses him, and when the result is good, like that of Romulus, it will always excuse him, because one should reproach a man who is violent in order to ruin things, not one who is so in order to set them aright.”

Such men, Machiavellian Men, who use power to establish free institutions that outlive them, are rare.

The opinion of so-called judge Robart was a judicial coup of executive power granted by our Constitution.

The return of Free Government is impossible with reform of the corrupt scotus.

Rioting in an area controlled by the secret service is a Major felony now too!

True, but for distance without going ballistically expensive, the 204 ruger is a sweet round. Works great on any varmint, even human sized, and being up to a quarter mile away or more you have lots of escape options not available to the 22.

I guess there are some who believe that the removal of President Trump would result in Hillary or some other democrat becoming president. In the insane event that Trump left office, Vice President Pence would become president and would appoint a new vice president who would then be next in line. There is no where in the line for a democrat.

Agreed. There’s been talk of a civil war.....the outcome of widespread violence would not work out real well for them. It just wouldn’t..

War is never that cut and dry nor do the leftists see it that way. They think they will win. Best to make the cost of fighting so high that they don’t dare it.

Economical, too. Easy to imagine that a person so inclined during Clinton administration could buy a brick a month on shopping trips into town Walmart; and in 25 years time, would have a mighty impressive stockpile. Quiet. Economical. Effective.

Nixon could have survived if the GOP didn’t bail on him like a bunch of little wusses. Watergate wasn’t bleep compared to Clinton/Obama scandals that went unpunished. The break in itself was practically nothing with the coverup being the source of the angst.

What actually happened couldn’t have worked out worse for Republicans, Nixon quit, GOP got handed it’s butt in 1974 midterm anyway, Ford put a liberal on the Supreme Court and then lost to a GD peanut farmer.

Contrast democrats, who almost all stuck with Clinton, who was caught red-handed personally committing perjury.

“Peanuthead”.

The show “Baskets” has relevancy here.

All RATS suck, period.

You’d have to go to...¿James Polk?...to find a good one.

And the notions that “JFK” is a:
-Hero
-Conservative
-Saint

are as f***ing stupid as saying the Moon is made out of Swiss Cheese. Wrong. Impossible.
