Quickest way for trump to take away everyone’s guns is for people he doesn’t like to arm up. Libs, minorities, etc. incidentally - trump is the only president who has suggested guns be taken away. Not even the snowflake republicans’ deepest fears and hatred of the Democratic presidents was ever validated by one of them saying guns should be taken away like trump.

“I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time,” Trump said at a meeting with lawmakers on school safety and gun violence.

“Take the guns first, go through due process second,” Trump said.

Kind of unrelated, but this was the point where the wool fell off my eyes and I realized his base will tolerate anything from him. Before, a statement like this from any national level politician would be an overnight end to their career, regardless of party, the supposed "Constitutionalists" would go unhinged.

But yeah you're exactly right, the moment there is a whiff of leftist elements publicly arming and gaining momentum, we will see favorability for* sweeping gun control. The gun control we have today is largely a response to the right getting terrified of the successes the vocally armed Black Panthers. So get armed, quietly. They have no intentions of this being a 4 or even 8 year administration, the evidence is spilling out of everywhere you look.

Turns out they hate women more than they love guns.

I think this episode plot of Bojack is one of the most bitingly effective takedowns of US culture I have seen, these words live rentfree in my head as a future epitaph to put on the gravestone of the US.

Turns out they hated women more than they loved guns.

Proceeds to ban all guns Turns out America hates women more than it loves guns.

No actually I think more women should carry them and learn the laws regarding defense in their locale. Know plenty myself that already do.

And women seem to agree with me, which is why they've been one of the fastest growing groups of new gun owners in the past few years.

They took away black people's gun in the past. Specifically their guns. It wouldn't be the first time.

Exactly why I mentioned it.

Can you explain? I'm not familiar with such an event.

[–] adminofoz@lemmy.cafe 4 points 1 day ago

Democrats and NRA worked together to end several gun rights in California because black men started open carrying.

Nobody is taking the guns from Americans, because nobody has the balls or the numbers of enforcers to do it.

For reference, the number of Americans who came out to the No Kings Day protests was larger than the sum total of all enlisted US Military and police officers. Next look at the number of Americans who own guns, it's much larger than all of the above.

They just gradually redefine American and the gun problem disappears, ez

"They're not taking my guns away, just those America hating ~~immigrants~~ ~~gangs~~ ~~communists~~ ~~democrats~~ domestic terrorists"
