One surely unintended consequence of this week's violence: When the National Guard is patrolling the streets because huge armed police forces can't keep criminals from turning cities into war zones, America's gun control debate is *finished* for at least a generation. Over. Done.

1. LOL. They'll be singing a different tune when Trump goes down

All this has done is convince me and countless others that the real danger comes from these so -called heavily armed "patriots." I'm more convinced than ever that they need to be disarmed.

2. They see everything as a win

Maybe amplifying their nonsense is a bad idea.

3. What- people can get totally out of control, soo.....we need MORE guns?

Doesn't this kind of undermine the whole "responsible gun owner" construct of the NRA?

4. I don't care what they think

5. Just wait till the guns get turned on them.

Then they will be screaming for them to be taken away.

6. Like the Brownshirts, they will be used to weaken the opposition, then they will be neutralized.

7. Without a doubt

There's no chance an assault weapons ban will pass next year, even if we take the Presidency and Senate.

8. this country is already armed to the teeth.

*My language may be triggering... fair warning before you read on.......*

business owners are doing the responsible thing staying the hell away from looters and staying safe. would they rather have citizens exchanging fire in the streets?

Joe Biden doesn't give a fuck what that guy thinks. neither will a blue congress. they will remember what got them elected, and part of that is people sick of the GOP placing the NRA over piles of bullet riddles children's corpses. That's a fact.
