NWI Democrat threatens to arm himself against 'tyranny' if Trump is reelected

A Northwest Indiana congressional candidate is insisting that he was not threatening anybody when he tweeted Thursday that he's planning to become "one of those Second Amendment people" if President Donald Trump is elected to a second term.

Ryan Farrar, of DeMotte — one of 14 candidates vying for the Democratic nomination in Indiana's 1st U.S. House District — said far from threatening the Republican president, or anyone else, his tweet is a recommendation that liberals begin preparing to combat tyranny.

"It's just kind of putting the idea out there that maybe more people on the left should consider becoming gun owners," Farrar said in an interview with The Times.

"Because it seems like a lot of people on the right seem to think they're the only ones that own guns, and they have the freedom, if they want, to threaten to declare civil war, or anything like that, and that's fine and good. (I'm) just putting the idea out there that, you know, liberals can own guns, too."

Farrar said at this point he doesn't see any need for guns to be used in American politics: "I just think it's something to be prepared for."

"I believe the Second Amendment actually was written so the people would have the ability to stand against tyranny if it ever resurfaced in America," Farrar said.

"I do think, right now, under this president, we've probably gotten closer to tyranny than we've been in a very, very long time."

A liberal co-worker became a gun owner, and that eventually convinced him to become a Republican.

[a fool in paradise]

“To become ‘one of those’”

[Seruzawa]

The projection is strong with this one.

[ConservativeMind]

So this guy is really becoming a Republican.

Conflict is coming.
And we will most certainly take whatever they dish out, multiply it by a very large number, and shove it back into their Obamaholes. We’ve had enough. Bring it, dorks, bring it.

[Vigilanteman]

What kind of tyranny would that be?

Letting people keep more of what they earn? Not calling sex perverts by their preferred pronouns? Maybe even insisting that winos and derelicts not poop on the sidewalks? Or pulling in the welcome mat for terrorists and third world grifters?

“I believe the Second Amendment actually was written so the people would have the ability to stand against tyranny if it ever resurfaced in America,”

Tell that to your filthy democrat party you filthy democrat.

[Perseverando]

"I do think, right now, under this president, we've probably gotten closer to tyranny than we've been in a very, very long time."

I agree. They've certainly gotten a lot closer to tyranny in Virginia, but it's not Trump's fault.

[Kickass Conservative]

Since when does Tyranny apply to a POTUS who wants the Government to stay out of people’s Lives and Wallets?

As I like to say, your Rights end at the tip of my Nose and the fold of my Wallet.

Wait...aren’t Leftists barred from owning firearms due to mental illness red-flag laws?

If they aren’t, they probably should be.

"I believe the Second Amendment actually was written so the people would have the ability to stand against tyranny if it ever resurfaced in America," Farrar said.

"I do think, right now, under this president, we've probably gotten closer to tyranny than we've been in a very, very long time."

 

He is correct. In a reverse sort of way. Because Trump has taken a stand for Freedom the the Constitution; hate groups like Antifa are flourishing. Liberal cities and states are actively becoming more tyrannical and dangerous every day.

So yeah. Arm yourself when Trump is reelected. Arm yourself against the enemies who will use tyranny against Trump.

[G Larry]

Must be bad a math too.....

Has he considered the percentage of armed conservatives?

Appropriate that this was printed in the NitWit times......

[Rurudyne]

Obstruction of Just-Us

[null and void]

Citizens should be armed against tyranny.

A democrat finally gets it, but I bet he'll still vote for gun control if he gets a chance...

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008

They don’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps that we deserve) defense. The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.

I think of it as the NatCCC, or more simply, as the NatCs...

[joma89]

Tyranny is what is happening in the state of Virginia.

Now that right there was d*** good!

[uranium penguin]

“I believe the Second Amendment actually was written so the people would have the ability to stand against tyranny if it ever resurfaced in America,”

So, basically... He’s now alienated all of his base by countering the “The 2A is about hunting ducks”. And “Nobody needs an AR15”...

[polymuser]

Wow! What a projecting, upside-down, mind-washed ignoramus. The hypocritical irony is astounding.

But, he now agrees our side has the correct interpretation of 2A.

And, his side says he can only have weapons from the time COTUS was signed. So, it’s only black powder guns and swords for him. Or, does he now think bazookas and armed drones are OK under 2A?

Specifically, Farrar cited Trump pressuring the Justice Department to seek a shorter prison term for Trump's longtime adviser, Roger Stone [...] Farrar said that kind of politicization of the judicial process "feels like something that you would see in Russia, or in, quite frankly, Nazi Germany."

Words fail me. (At least the ones suitable for work.)
