The temporary solution (until rule of law is restored and FedGov/states stop attempting to violate our God-given rights) is to buy plenty of extra guns. You can’t have just one 9mm pistol - what if it needs maintenance? Get two for each person in the family. You can’t have just one AR-15, get a box of 80% lowers, have each family member finish two, and then the thugs don’t even know they exist. Shotguns? Take Joe Biden’s advice and get two for each person, in each gauge. That way you never have to temporarily transfer a gun to a family member.
The first thing President Cruz should do is to create a Civil Rights Division within the BATF the same as they have in the FBI. Only instead of enforcing anti discrimination laws the BATF Civil Rights Division would enforce anti 2nd amendment violations at the state, local and even business level.
Good for the goose is good for the gander. We need to learn to play the game the way they do.
