Jonah Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Dispatch and longtime Never-Trumper, suggested that the Democrats could send the military to confiscate firearms from law-abiding Americans.
Goldberg framed his comments during a panel discussion on violent crime in major Democrat-run cities, comparing it to Donald Trump’s efforts to use federal resources to restore order in places like Chicago.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order last month, titled the “Protecting Chicago Initiative,” aimed at preventing the potential deployment of the National Guard by President Donald Trump to address the city’s rampant crime issues.
Johnson, a far-left Democrat, claims the order is necessary to defend residents’ constitutional rights amid fears of what he calls an “unconstitutional and illegal military occupation.”

>>This is called an ‘trial balloon’ in case you didn’t know. This is the ‘feelers’ part to see how well it will be received before they proceed.
IIRC, they’ve flown this trial balloon before during the Clinton years. They actually asked the military if they would follow an order to disarm the American people and were so frightened by the responses (especially from the Marines at the time) that they backed off. That’s one of the reasons the Rats have been so steadfast at weakening the military.
Well, according to the Democrats, it is an unfair advantage to the crime victims to be able to defend themselves from the criminals.
It’s all for the children!
Stop and frisk works.
Felon in possession of firearm = a felony.
Allow stores to use metal detectors for anyone entering and then have cops there to frisk anyone setting off the alarm.
A few dozen arrests and word will get out.
It’s primarily black males ages 14-30 committing a high % of these crimes. So it’s 2% of the population in these cities committing over half the crimes.
Easy solutions but we lack the will.
Libs WANT the crime because the criminal are their brownshirts there to drive out taxpayers (black, white, hispanic) who may vote against their far-left agenda.
Control Philly = control Pennsylvania.
State by state they do this and it allows them to steal elections and install mindless corrupt stooges like Biden.
Isn’t the definition of ‘Jonah’ a jinx???
Job openings-gun confiscation specialist-great death benefits-rapid turnover
Once again Jonah’s type is trying to anger the constitutionally armed citizens of America. These people like Jonah are constantly sowing confusion yet are more than willing to run around like a chicken with its head chopped off when lawfully confronted.
Nice red dot ya got there Jonah biotch
Trolling any idea to see if they can find something to foment MAGA internal descension. There’s been a ton of that lately, from Epstein, to Intel, and now National Guard deployments.
No act, lie or manipulation is below the Party of Evil (Democrats/Uniparty).
There are more hunters than all the top ten standing armies combined. The military wants nothing to do with 30 million potential snipers.
His mama should send him back to Amazon for a refund. Defective merchandise
No Jonah, the Democrats would only deploy the military for two actions. First force everyone to vote for Democrats. Second force everyone to attend the LBGQIEO parade…….. scary thoughts!
Oh really? So now... Suddenly without warning CNN (i.e. Marxists) is soooo concerned about a governmental gun grab? pashaw
I am sure they’ve already thought of it. I think he’s sure the next Dem Pres will just use Trump’s action as legal precedent.
I remember it well.
Pizza for supper in the AIA building in Washington. It was I recall October 31, 1998. It was the gathering celebrating the fabulous day we became Freepers. It was the final activity for the tremendously successful March For Justice.
One of two or three speakers wa the conservative Jonah Goldberg
Fake Conservative won’t go into black communities to take their guns, only law abiding Americans will have them stolen.
commie jonah calls for civil war
lets hope he is in the vanguard
Notice he never addressed the real issue which is Transexual hormone treatments and psychotropic drugs for the mentally ill. Just like every lib, go after the law abiding citizens.
I thought members of the military take an oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution and the Bill if Rights. Gun confiscation would be a breach of that oath.
Americans being ARMED is exactly in case government tries to do exactly this...
There needs to be a penalty for even attempting to curtail our 2A Rights like this.

Just look at the gun confiscations in NYC during the reign of the jackass David Dinkins. Police didn’t hesitate to confiscate firearms and arrest the owners.”
You’re missing the point that the members of the NG would have to confiscate the firearms they own. The NG isn’t comparable to the NYPD.
