I hope you guys are right about enough of us fighting back. However, I see this being done on a regular basis right now and no one is putting a stop to it. They just label the people they kill as “drug users” and very few people complain, even when the SWAT team gets an entirely wrong address and kills someone totally innocent.
When they start doing the same thing to gunowners, they won’t be labeling them as patriots. They will label them as “domestic terrorists” and the vast majority of the people in this country won’t object.
Huge difference labeling some random meth head a danger and doing the same to 80+ million Americans.
An ammo ban. A magazine ban. Arbitrary "assault" weapon ban...
I'm done complying with their illegal edicts.
Of course the administration and their willing allies in the MSM will try to paint each mini-Waco as the demise of a right-wing domestic terrorist.
But the MSM no longer has a monopoly on meme formation in the USA. For such a purge to work, they would first have to neuter talk radio, FOX, and the internet. Can’t be done without turning the USA into Venezuela.
There are no pretexts under which the Obamites could close down or neutralize conservative media that would be believed. Sure, they would like to see Murdoch hauled away in chains, and would arrest him on trumped-up charges if they could. But they can’t.
If they somehow shut down talk radio etc, then we would accept the hard truth that the 1st Amd is null and void, our Constitutional contract has been broken, and we are in a new fight for freedom.
I’ll start to worry when Rush, Sean etc are driven off the airwaves. That will be a necessary precondition to purges.
