WaPo Columnist Says ‘Cult’ Trump Supporters Need To Be ‘Deprogramed’

I'm thinking that Trump supporters don't want any commie 'deprogramming'.

If I owned any guns, I sure wouldn’t be wasting any at the range right now without a way to re-supply..

If they come for our guns we might as well turn them in bullets-first, because they are going to exterminate us once they have them anyway.

Exactly right. Don’t turn them in without using them like the Russians and German Jews did.

If it gets that far then it will be foreign military attempting to take them. I think a lot of our military would not go door to door and take our guns. Police wouldn’t do it either. Just my opinion. Where I live in central Florida our sheriff prefers us to carry and protect ourselves.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

“Keep your powder dry” has plenty of modern meaning.

I hope that’s right. There will be a nice bounty and reward for nosey neighbors that want some walkin round money for turning gun owners in.

” it will be foreign military attempting to take them “

They will just shut off your electricity and cable, deactivate your cell phone, and bank accounts. Then they will do it to your parents and children.

Only reason I’ve gone to the range lately is to fine-tune my red dots and scopes. Kept my ammo expenditure down to 10 rounds per device.

Speaking of ranges, I’m thinking that those will be the first places the ATF goons will go after the upcoming bans are passed. Could be where the shots heard round the world may come from.

Ammo deliveries to Academy are usually on Thursdays around here. A couple of my retired shooting buds go to a certain one every single Thursday to pick up whatever they can get their hands on that they can use as they know the manager there. There’s always a pretty hefty line to the ammo area on that day.
About 3 or 4 weeks ago, this particular Academy must have found a pallet-load of small pistol primers from somewhere probably in the back of a warehouse. They limited the sale to one box (1000)/customer and had 3-4 employees dishing em out as fast as they could. They were all gone in about 5 minutes....all of em. This isn’t even loaded ammo, just the primers for small caliber pistol brass.
My friends each got a box, and then just stood there in awe watching how fast they disappeared.

I swear, I glanced at the headline and though it said “Amino Acid Shortage.”

You are delutional if you think that. The US military will do exactly as ordered and won’t give a rats ass murdering an entire family to get their firearms.

Police, the same thing. They care more about their paychecks and pensions to care who they murder if ordered to do so.

Then ‘they’ and their relations will have to spend the rest of their lives wondering.

If the docile Kanucks could defy the Canadian Government over registration I would hope liberty loving Americans could do the same.
