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.”

His mother must be so disappointed in him.
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.
The person who starts the process - JONAH GOLDBERG- was probably very carefully selected.

He’ll be selected, all right.
“We have a gun crisis in America, just as legitimate on the facts and arguments as a crime crisis, and we’re going to send the National Guard into states to go get their guns”?
I don’t think the NG would obey such orders. After all, they would be confiscating their own guns since NG is full of hunters, etc.
And they call us Nazis for using the military to take THEIR criminals off the streets to make the streets safer for normal, decent people.
Boy, I wouldn’t want to be the first guy kicking in those doors.
Why not seize them from the gangsters, Jonah? Scared to? Don’t want to lose that gangster vote?
Has Goldberg been up to NYC licking Bloomberg’s balls?
Remember Goliad!
Yah. I’d like to see that guy taking guns away from those loverly guys in like Philly, or Chicago.
I believe she’s been dead for years now.
Cannot remember the last time I consumed anything from Jonah.
Y3ah sure Jonah, and if guns are confiscated, say goodbye to your first amendment rights too! You could be arrested for opining about “unapproved content”, wouldn’t that be swell? Ya dang commie!
Goldberg wrote Liberal Fascism, which is a useful book, then went completely bonkers.
If the Left wants a serious shooting civil war, this is how you might start it.
Come and take it!

Oy Vey. You think his people would want to be able to protect themselves. He takes us for schmucks and putzes
Jonah always was a pseudo-conservative Deep State bootlicker. He fooled a bunch of people into thinking he was a conservative 23-24 years ago, but proved beyond a doubt what he really is in 2015.
Karma should force all these gun confiscation advocates into being the first one through the door on the confiscation squads.
And no Jonah, we don’t have a gun crisis in America, we have a CRIMINAL CRISIS in america and is the very reason why we need guns to protect us against vio.ent criminals! Even if we didn’t have to worry about any criminals at all, its still not your call to disarm the people! Read our founding g Father’s statements on the issue ya commie!
