The Dem retort to our opposition is saying something like “no one has taken your guns away, you’re paranoid”.
Not the change in tense...technically they’re right, until the bill is passed and becomes law and is then enforced, the Dems in Wisconsin can claim that they haven’t taken guns...and once they do take the guns, it’s obviously too late to fight them.
See my post 11 for responding to the "paranoid" meme.
