The problem with this mentality, is that it has been the battlecry for since at least as long as I have been voting which is only 1988.
As conservatives, we are always told we need to hold our noses or things might end up worse if a Democrat wins. Yet many times, when the Republican wins, we still essentially end up with a Democrat and watch as liberty erodes.
In all honesty, maybe America needs a good punch in the gut, and maybe it will be a wake up call. If you think that any of these so-called red flag laws pass, that they will be rescinded if the Republicans gain power, think again.
Pass the laws, and lose the votes. Let's have the chips fall where they may and get the cart down the inevitable path sooner. Conservatives can't keep claiming to be principled only to keep allowing them to shift when the mood seems right.
“If you think that any of these so-called red flag laws pass, that they will be rescinded if the Republicans gain power, think again.”
I know one thing, it we hand the country over to the Dems, they have NO PLANS to play nice with us anymore or even try for our votes - so yes, they won’t bother with red flags, they’ll simply TAKE THE GUNS, ALL OF THEM, and with the National Popular Vote, PR and DC Statehood, wide open Voter Fraud - they won’t have a reason to play nice or ever worry about losing again. I guess we can move to Idaho and hold out for a year or two, as they will require a bit of staging before making their assault on us. I guess.
As to ‘trusting the Republicans’ to repeal a red flag law on their own, I actually do agree with you. They won’t. But at least there is a DAMN GOOD CHANCE that we’ll have RGB replaced on the Supreme Court, along with flipping another seat. Give 7-2 on the Supreme Court, and IF Trump does a good job in filling the seats (do you really think AOC will do a better job), then there it becomes VERY LIKELY that any red flag laws will be overturned or at least severely restricted, if they’re shown to step on 2nd Amendment Rights.
Again...none of the above happens if we let the Democrats, today’s Democrats, led by AOC, have the country - and only because of a relative handful of RINOs. So my advice to you - start looking at land in Idaho.
