Vigilant Americans Should Be Armed
American Thinker ^ | 31 Aug, 2025 | J.B. Shurk

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has called President Trump “the gravest threat to American democracy.” Nonetheless, Schumer wants to erase the Second Amendment. House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries calls Trump a “racial arsonist” and urges supporters to “fight” the Trump administration “in the streets.” Still, Jeffries wants to limit gun ownership and confiscate Americans’ firearms.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz claims Trump is a “tyrant” who “finds new ways to trample rights” each day. Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia says, “President Trump is a tyrant.” Senator Alex Padilla of California insists that Trump is a “tyrant.” Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon calls Trump a “tyrant.” Democrat lawmakers across the country have repeatedly described President Trump as a “dictator,” a “racist,” a “white supremacist,” a “Russian agent,” and a “Nazi.” They have compared Trump to Adolf Hitler and other genocidal maniacs. They swear that Trump is the greatest “threat to democracy” that Americans have ever faced.

Yet every one of these Democrats wants gun control. Even after taking oaths to defend the Constitution, they actively work to undermine the Second Amendment. They believe that only the U.S. military, federal agents, law enforcement officers, and private security details for the well-to-do should be permitted to carry firearms.

Consider this another example of why leftists sound insane to normal people. Rational individuals don’t prance around complaining about “dictatorship” and “tyranny” while looking for every available excuse to disarm the public. Historically, when alert citizens feared that a government had become too powerful or an official had become too authoritarian, they encouraged their fellow citizens to be well-armed and prepared to defend themselves. They did not make long-winded speeches in the town square insisting that the time had come for the people to hand over their weapons so that the “tyrant” could provide for their

Schumer is a moron. Time for him and Mad Maxine Waters to move into the old folks’ homes. Their time harassing and stealing from the American people has come to an end.

“...Genocidal tyrants all had gun control....”

Because, inside, they are/were all cowards that feared the unwashed masses because of the vile BS they foisted on em.
Our very domestic communist party RATs are of the SAME evil mindset.
They can all go piss up a stump....

If you are unwilling to take the initiative to defend yourselves and your family you are simply a slave to the government.

No question about the fact that the rats are tyrants. The Biden era did more to prove that than anything else. If Harris could have stolen the election we’d be preparing for civil war about now, for this moron would certainly be going after our guns.

Would a tyrant allow this kind of bad mouthing from his opposition? Would he allow his opposition to continue to live? History says no.

I rather like this idea better:

Anarcho-tyranny. They are calling for riots in the streets, and they also seek to disarm law-abiding citizens.

Obama’s DHS secretary Janet Napolitano released a report that identified white veterans as the greatest domestic terrorist threat. This was based on the single act of the Oklahoma bombing. The objective was to cast suspicion away from Obama’s army of domestic terrorists: BLM and Antifa. Obama.

Time for “The Sheepdogs” to announce themselves being “on post”.

When Kennedy was shot, was the knee-jerk reaction to ban certain firearms? No. They banned all kinds of firearms which had no connection

The Democrats feared the formation of the N.R.A., when it stood for back America arming itself in defense of the democrat-sanctioned-grand-dragon-in-congress-K.K.K.

Give the devil his due. These morons have successfully looted history's most prosperous country and if not for a miracle in Butler there might not be any hope of stopping them especially with assets in the intelligence community and administrative state.
