If you’re going to have red-flag laws, government officials and employees should be the first to be red-flagged.

Governments, primarily “redistributionist” governments, murdered 262,000,000 of their own citizens in the 20th century alone.

By comparison, the number of people murdered by crazy mass-shooters isn’t even a blip.

It’s not up to members of Congress to decide what’s in the Bill of Rights.

If this ever comes up to a debate and vote, the people need to show them how it was done in Tennessee in the early 2000s when a DemocRat General Assembly and a RINO governor joined forces to try to ram a state income tax down our throats. I was up on Legislative Plaza for several days protesting. I even took my baby daughter to a protest on a Saturday. People cam to Nashville from all over the state on weekdays to protest. It scared the living shit out of the Rats in the GA. And within 3 election cycles, turned the Tennessee GA from deep blue to deep red.

P.S. Some liberal newspapers claim that the tax protesters were throwing rocks through windows. I was there when ONE small single-pane window (about 12” square) in wooden casement was accidentally broken when a woman pounded on it too hard with her bare hand. It wasn’t thick commercial glass like on businesses and commercial buildings. It was thin glass like you use on homes. Luckily she wasn’t cut. But she was very apologetic and offered to pay for the replacement.

Absolutely, I have a lot of very important responsibilities and people dependent on me, but if there was a gathering I’m there even if I have to hitch hike across the country. It’s time to get off our butts and make it very clear it is not going to be easy and they had better think twice about this.

What happened the first time our rulers tried take our guns away from us?

“I enclose you a list of the killed, wounded, and captives of the enemy from the commencement of hostilities at Lexington in April, 1775, until November, 1777, since which there has been no event of any consequence …

I think that upon the whole it has been about one half the number lost by them, in some instances more, but in others less. This difference is ascribed to our superiority in taking aim when we fire; every soldier in our army having been intimate with his gun from his infancy.” - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Giovanni Fabbroni, June 8, 1778

As I have been saying for 5 or 6 years, those screeching about gun control should first disarm their goon squads, then talk to me about gun control after about 6 months of looking over their shoulders unprotected.

Until then, I’m stocking up on ammo...and getting some target practice.

The problem liberals are going to find is this.

We have around 200 million guns. They can’t decide which bathroom to use.

(I’m being generous and assuming sane democrats have at least 100 million too. I do know quite a few dems have been hunters most of their lives.)

No guns. No peace.

Know guns. Know peace.

“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
- Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776
