Step 2: revisit Heller, etc. and stress well run milita part.

Step 3: confiscate all non milita weapons.

    They’ve been trying to spin literally any protests or even just token resistance as criminal, and rural voters, by and large, absolutely believe that cities are hives of crime and iniquity.

      It’s not just that: I have a brother who’s not even that conservative but seems to sincerely believe the Gaza protests on college campuses are terrorism and Trump is justified in cutting medical research associated with those colleges

        I don’t get how the medical research at a university (which benefits the country) should be tied to protesters anyway. Even if they were actually “terrorists”.

        It’s so stupid I don’t even have the words.

      I expect sooner or later, there will be a big massacre where protestors are shot down. Surprised it hasn’t happened yet

      It’s not just rural voters. I was just at a dentist apt in suburban Washington and the hygienist was talking about how her son just moved away from California and that she was glad he was getting away because of “how bad the crime has gotten in California”.
