“Exactly why we desperately need to hold the Senate in the runoff elections.

Worst case, we do have the Supreme Court and I’m confident this would get struck down. “


If we don’t do the first, the second is inoperative.

Keep something in mind - even if they don’t capture the Senate NOW, by 2022 they will have amnestied and made into citizens probably millions of illegals. They just have to dump them (courtesy of our tax dollars, or those of our grandchildren) into states where close Senate races are expected in 2022. That, plus the cementing of election fraud (as refined by the lessons of this year), ensures IMHO them getting the Senate in 2022. So if Biden wins, in the best circumstance we have 2 years.

“Wouldn’t apply to existing and easily challenged in court....”


Really? If they capture the Senate the first thing to be done is to eliminate the filibuster. Second is a court-packing bill that Biden will sign quickly, and by mid-year at the outside, you’ll have 6 new “Living Constitution” Leftists on the Court.

How’s THAT going to work out?

He would have to have Congress change the NFA to do this. Right now any tax is tied to a very narrow definition of the item regulated.

In fact, a firearm in the 1968 Firearms Act is so narrowly defined as to include a bolt and trigger mechanism so that an AR lower is not considered in some circuits to be a firearm, which is causing the ATF fits.

You assume that we live in normal times, and that the next election will not be even more manipulated than this one was.

They are engaged in nothing less than a revolution - they seek to overthrow the constraints of the Constitution, so that they can have permanent and unbridled power over this country. They are utterly power-hungry and utterly without any traditional morals. Compromise is, for them, at best a temporary measure to be used to lull us into a false sense of security and to gather their strength (just like the Moslems and Communists). The fact that they have been willing to cheat like mad, seemingly without fear of being caught, demonstrates their goals.

If Biden wins and they gain the Senate, our nation is done - no election will ever be even modestly fair again, and no Republican will ever be POTUS, nor with the GOP ever control either House of Congress again. We’ll be California, but on a national scale. Republicans will be fig leaves, zoo animals put on display to say, “See, we have opposition, we have a democracy.” BS - we’ll be as democratic (small “d”) as the GDR was in the day.

Please get over your normalcy bias. The Dems have already signaled that they’re going to get rid of the filibuster, pack the courts, amnesty tens of millions of illegals and likely add DC and PR to the Union (4 more Senators for them - good luck overcoming that extra thumb on the scale EVEN WITH FAIR ELECTIONS.

No sir, this is for all of the marbles. Best case, we get a 2-year reprieve if Trump is successfully cheated. Worst case, they capture the Senate on 1/5/21, and we’re done as a Republic within months at most.

no ones going to buy guns if bitme succeeds in the fraud......

They will until they can't. I work in the industry and I remember 2013, right after Whatshisface got re-elected. This year is three times worse than that, with no end in sight.

How dumb are those Democrats? Um, like I don't have $34 Billion!

It's like those stupid one gun a month requirements. Not all of us have that kind of money! I get in trouble for one a year.

The post you read-only was only in reference to a standalone EO...

Obviously, you didn’t read my previous posts on the thread in which I referenced us holding the Senate...

All bets are off if we lose the Senate...

Where I am, I only buy from private sellers. No forms, no tracking, no one else’s business.

If they change the law to track it, I won’t comply. Millions will not.

At some point, things fall apart; the center cannot hold.

“Taking guns may be easier than you think.”

Really?

Maybe you can tell us all about how the heroic, big government Mayor Groot in Chicago disarmed the Mexicans in Cicero after heavily armed Mexicans beat the crap out of her BLM goons who tried to burn down Mexican neighborhoods and businesses. Oh, wait, Mayor Groot didn’t disarm the Mexicans, and the bitch slinked back to her black Chicago ghetto with her BLM racists. And the Mexicans are still armed.

Is that what you’re talking about on how taking guns “may be easier than you think.”

let me put it this way: It may be easier to take guns away from law abiding people than you think. Criminals will never turn in anything. Not now, not ever. But they will write laws that make everyone a felon. Thats who they are. Show them the man and they will show you the crime.

Don’t be throwing stupid communist cliches at me.

“It may be easier to take guns away from law abiding people than you think.”

Prove it.

You keep spouting leftist crap that “it may be easier to take guns away...” blah, blah, blah.

You haven’t offered a scintilla of proof. All you do is keep spouting the leftist line. Sounds like you’re cheering for the other side, troll.

Bite me! I was just offering one way they could try. Now get your head out of the bourbon bottle and get some fresh air.
