Most people would have taken the route the McCloskys took. That is exactly what the left has planned all along. When it comes down to dealing with the arrayed powers of the left in our new Soviet America, I would take the easy way out too. Once Manchin and the Uniparty agree on his price to end the filibuster, the new gun laws will come fast and furious. The left is about to put “from my cold dead hand” to the test. With your local “Boston Strong” police overwhelmingly enforcing the new confiscation/taxation laws, the left will oblige by turning your hands to cold dead ones if necessary.
The Left wants a bunch of “Guilty” pleas to prove they were right and conservatives were wrong.
They will pound us with that any time they need to shut us up, with is all the time.
