25M AR’s say they will do what we want, not the other way around.

Those 25M ARs aren't going to accurately operate themselves. I'll believe those who own them actually know how to use them when I see it.

I'll also do a double-take when I actually see those 25M ARs in the hands of their owners pointing at the scum who deserve to be looking at the business end of the muzzle. Otherwise, it's all talk.

If the Ragheads in Afghanistan and the Vietkong kept us out of their lands, I bet the average Joe in Amerkia could as well.

I have a 22 YO son, and a 13 YO grandson [...]

Your son was an early bloomer!

(I understand that your grandson is undoubtedly the child of a different one of your children.)

The government is already at war against the people.

There will be real consequences for attempting to make my family die for globohomo.

"A lot of people woke up during that period and realized that an attempt at a totalitarian state in the US was not only possible, it was happening right in front of them."

I guess he was one of those who woke up.?

They act like severe punishment (which they don’t dare specifically mention how many years or type) wouldn’t lead to unintended consequences.

If someone was facing 20 years to life (or to take it to the extreme... a capital offense) for draft evading... some may conclude they may as well go out with a bang.

Instead of evading draft agents, those agents might be targeted themselves.

Government NEEDS a compliant public, unfortunately current leaders think that force is the way to go. It will lead to the public seeing a government at home as a worse enemy than an enemy abroad.

These evil idiots are going to cause uncontrollable chaos to erupt from a citizenry that just wants to be left alone.

Since WW2, Washington’s concept/definition of “Victory” has changed to “how much money can we make, and who can we offend the least”. American interests and the costs to Americans are rarely, if ever, considered. There’s always a hotspot for our MIC to pad their pockets along with the usual “feeders at the trough” in Washington.

Considering how ill-managed the various wars/police actions have been since WW2, how many would be willing be sacrificed on the altar of greed?

Irrespective of whatever Administration is in office, the draft will be largely evaded by the draft eligible.

I have long suspected that a major war would be seen as a prime opportunity by the left.

When politically problematic elements of the military are out of the country, and conservative citizens have been drafted... major opposition to a domestic crackdown on the citizens would have been removed.

Loyal leftwing troops would be kept in the US, conservative troops would be thousands of miles away. No way the left wouldn’t see that as a chance to get rid of their domestic opposition.

LOL, my 3 kids are aged 37, 35, and 22. FWIW, the 22 YO was planned more than the first two. My grandson is my daughter’s child, who will turn 37 on Monday. The middle child has two daughters, they both have Opa wrapped around their pinkies.

——————-
…and as long economic conditions deteriorate, the chances of Rebellion increase as our economy declines. Governments always get more authoritative when losing their power, as we are witnessing.

Weaponizing our Justice system, weaponizing the USD, weaponizing the IRS, weaponizing the media……government lawlessness. I have long thought the massive gun buying by the American people, since Nobama’s regime, is an indication of an “unconscious “ brewing revolt.

Continuous attacks on our gun rights confirms the government’s fear, as it should. Much like senile Joe’s poking the Bear, their poking of citizens WILL end in much mayhem….almost there, the last ingredient, a huge financial meltdown will seal their fate.

"Weaponizing our Justice system, weaponizing the USD, weaponizing the IRS, weaponizing the media.

Speaking of weaponizing the IRS..

"The IRS has spent $35.2 million on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment since 2006, including $10 million in weaponry and gear since 2020."

Even if so, they were the wrong kind which is partly what this discussion is about. This is part of a plan set in motion long ago.
