They will absolutely come for the guns next. Once the population is disarmed the civil war will begin. Martial law. Police state. No privacy protections. All amendments abolished. Civil rights act abolished. Military checkpoints at all state borders. Reinstated draft. 10% inflation. 20% unemployment. Reeducation centers. Prison work camps. State takeover of media. Iron curtain. Restricted Internet.
This year. Get out while the borders are open.
And will you run from the country you go to and leave it to fend for itself, too?
Why can’t you people stand for something other than yourselves? It starts with voting, if you get the chance.
Just do your duty you lazy, lazy shits. Fucking vote, if you get a chance again. In the meantime stay home, peacefully shut production down which is now your only option, and don’t let this shit happen again.
Some people have to stay behind to sabotage the Regime.
Let's just hope they spare your family.
You mean the ones that have been voting for this stuff since the 80s? I hope they get what they deserve
Don't got the money for that. My best option is to fight, provided the people of my state are also willing to die for a better future.
If you think they will take guns away from Americans in 2026 at any kind of scale you are very naive
Doesn't mean they won't try
Prisoners are profitable and will only become increasingly profitable as they start using them as slave labor, which is specifically allowed under the Constitution. Only chattle slavery was abolished. When they are no longer subject to being voted out of office there is every incentive in the world to arrest people.
So new executive order: we gotta stop all the school shootings therefore all guns are illegal. Gun owners will be required to turn in their weapons in exchange for a pennies on the dollar buyback. These weapons will then be sold by the government to who the fuck knows. This will be followed by a house to house compliance check where you either produce your receipt or submit to a warrantless search. Anyone caught with a weapon will be sent to a prison work camp making iPhones and drones. Simple as that.
Oh you want to fight back? Bueno, now you're a terrorist. This justifies further military presence in your town and seizure of all of your assets. You will be lucky if your family isn't required to pay upfront for your prison stay.
I am not being naive. I am being real. I am an American but I was not educated in the American school system. I understand what is happening because it has happened a thousand times to a thousand other countries. There is a standard operation of events and we are following a textbook march into dictatorship.
Do you know anything at all about the laws surrounding prison labor?
We are witnessing an administration who does not consider themselves to be bound by established laws and norms. We are watching our constitutional rights being eroded one by one in real time. Do you think he will ever say "oh man I would love to do something but it would be illegal if I did". Who is being naive now?
All I know is that "they wouldn't do that.." had always been answered with "yes they are"
Other than the black Panthers ain't nobody already with guns doing anything right now.
