The gun nuts want us to think they are all prepared to use "second amendment solutions"

If Trump is impeached or if a blue wave takes away some of their "rights". Don't let the rhetoric scare you.

Most know that will realistically come with the price of death or prison or both. When it comes down to it these people are just too narcissistic and selfish to sacrifice themselves for anything.

If a few would happen to fly off the handle we know exactly where to lay the blame and will make them wear the burden for life.

These are usually the types that love wars in other countries that don’t affect them. They may also dream of a civil conflict in the US, as long as it’s not in their area and kills Liberals.

The gun-thumpers seem to think that 2A gives them to right to shoot anyone they think deserves it.

Nope. The way they're talking about using their firearms is a felony. So, not only will they end up either in prison or executed (depending on their state and the fate of the shooting victim), but once released from prison -- funny thing -- they will be stripped of their beloved right to bear arms.

But dont want to lose their American amenities just like anyone else. I bet if you forced a gun owner to pick between their guns or their smartphones most would pick the latter.

(Ah, the glory years...) one of these rabble-rousers actually said about loud that the 2A gives citizens the right to kill the President and take over.

I’m certain that this blockhead was incapable of reading, so it made me wonder who read the 2A to him...

Wonder if they know that? Guess they don't realize they would be going against the military. And all us liberals who also are well armed.

Assassinations and surprise ambushes. But in the end they will just be criminals that will be hunted down like animals. They know it. Rhetoric is where their fantasies end.

I know you're right, in every fiber. Their only hope is that to appear so dangerous people will avoid resisting their demands just to stay safe.

Great time to see your name for the first time. Would have seen it much sooner with more time spent reading, clearly.

Thank you, askyagerz.

That is a concern. Hell, I'm not even sure what side courts, trump or most GOPers would come down.

This is one big reason I am against the types and number of weapons we allow people, particularly white wingers, possess.

The courts let these terrorists walk --

These idiots wouldnt be able to plan something that big. When it comes down to it most of us know people on each side. Let alone the half of americans who dont care one way or another.
Soldiers like their outside lives too. America is just too comfy to lose any of our luxuries. These people are extremists and I think the general population realizes it. Even the NRA only represents about 7% of all gun owners
