Within minutes of the tragic mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, gun control fanatics were predictably not letting a crisis go to waste by calling for extreme measures of gun control. The usual suspects were at it – Soros organizations, MSM, left-wing extremists, and Democratic Party members – but, interestingly enough, they were joined by many Republican lawmakers as well. While Lindsey Graham, a Senator who has scarcely seen a right in the Bill of Rights he hasn’t wanted to carve up for dinner, is no shocker, others in staunchly red states have also joined the call for stricter gun control measures. Most surprising, however, is that President Donald Trump has jumped on the bandwagon, calling for “red flag laws” among other egregious measures to deal with the recent spate of shootings in the United States.
The response from Trump’s base has been a mix of personality cult support and virulent opposition, hinting that Trump, if he goes forward with his “red flag” proposal, could be shooting himself in the foot for 2020. After the last few years, it is clear that nothing Trump could ever do would convince a leftist to vote for him. However, he can convince his own supporters to stay home in 2020 and that appears to be what is going to happen if he doesn’t quickly pull an about-face in the manner that he has done in the past in regards to many of his positive attempts to govern (Syria, Afghanistan, etc.).
One of the principal purposes of red flag laws is to silence opposition. If you make no public comment, your profile is lower. They kill the “gun culture”, as no one is willing to talk about it anymore.
OT, the purpose of starving the cities is to demonstrate to their denizens that the elite rulers can’t deliver the goods. Not to mention getting those very same denizens to actively eliminate each other. Force multiplication.
I hope WE remember that the 2nd Amendment was to protect us from a “Tyrannical Government”. Do we suppose such a Government would not try to take away such a protection? Are we so well institutionalized that we would believe that by taking away this protection we will be left “powerless”? If so, those that populate our “schools” have succeeded in making us “stupid”. I am not sure what the “trigger” will be but, if such a move is made, legal or not, all hell will break loose. I will back our POTUS, Donald Trump, because he is doing the best one person can without being a “Dictator”. If he “caves”, it is up to us to carry the ball. In the mean time, we need to support him or all this becomes inevitable. I don’t want things to go this far but I believe I will fight to be “FREE”!
