Boy, what a way to start the day! But anyway:
These plans will require the complete & utter connivance of every LEO in the country from the Veep down to Officer Friendly, bottom line. No dissent, no cracks in the wall, nothing. Not to mention every bank, utility, etc.
Every friend or relative becomes suspect. No one will trust anybody. It will come down to,
“Sorry, pal, it’s either you or my pension. Get down!”
Convince an armed man that he has nothing left to lose, and there will be anarchy. The seamless machine of confiscation is not what it appears to be. You don’t create East Germany out of America without bloody insurrection in between.
Three percent of American colonists chose to fight the British. Revolution followed.
There are fifty states, some blue, most red. Are they all going to march in lockstep with the Ho?
And is every last cog in the chain of confiscation ready, willing, and able to kiss his family goodbye every single morning he heads out to violate people’s God given rights?
The ointment in the fly of every plan to impose socialism (that’s what this is) is the failure of its cadres to recognize that human nature never changes. There is no self-sacrificing New Soviet Man out there still waiting to be born.
Proof? Point out the despotism in Cuba, Venezuela, USSR & ChiCom PRC and you will get angry shouts of “true socialism hasn’t been tried yet!!!”
There are going to be 2A rallies in the states like no one’s ever seen. Remember Virginia? And did Coonman Blackface Northam address the crowd with,
“You’re ALL under arrest!!”
Anyway, Congressthings who dare advance this fascistic bill are guaranteeing themselves unemployment in 2022. Try putting “people shouldn’t be allowed to own guns!!” in your platform.
I actually agree. However, this will require conservatives to walk the walk instead of just talking the talk.
Are we ready and willing to:
Engage in mass civil disobedience?
Organise militias and neighbourhood watch orgs that specifically deal with incursions by federal agents?
Become unpoliceable by fighting back (not just meant metaphorically) in large enough numbers that the opportunity cost becomes too great for them?
Pressure red politicians at the local and state level to pursue nullification all the way up to actual secession?
Engage in whatever activity is necessary to monkey wrench the current regime and its agents?
Because if not, then might as well just go ahead and turn them in, live in the pod, and eat the bugs.
