I got this from reddit. In one of the comments I found this about Washington state: Governor Bob Ferguson signed into law a bill that restricts out-of-state military forces from entering Washington. House Bill 1321….
I suggest we write our local governments to enact the same type of law before it is too late.
So local police will now have access to nukes?
Because at this point that’s almost the only thing they don’t have yet.
My understanding is that the washington law has an exemption for troops activated by the president or something. So it is mostly toothless. But it is symbolic. And in this case that is worth something.
The slippery slope has arrived. WTAF?? My heart is with my American friends who are having to live through this nightmare. My Canadian heart is thankful that we have Carney at the helm for the time being. I’m wishing the best for the Australian’s upcoming election (elbows up, mates!). Sadly, the relief from stress of having Carney win the election has been short lived.
Frack, BSG was good…
Yet veterans in comment sections of police shootings say that they have better trigger discipline when they are policing an area.
Police are the violent arm of the state, the fuck he on about lol? Cops don’t protect shit but capitol.
So say we all!
If you’re not already, I advise you to be white and male pretty quick. This is definitely a prelude to martial law.
Also straight, healthy and neurotypical.
And not poor, billionaire would be preferable.
That’s the essential ingredient
I have heard that being european and living in Europe is also a good way to deal with the current situation in the US
Speaking as an American…
Right up until the idiot starts mumbling about the “52nd state”…
That will never happen, I am calling it now, barring any extreme political change there will be no change in the number of states in the US, especially not one from Europe.
Territories, yeah, I can see that.
Joke’s on him - local police have been getting heavy duty military equipment for decades.
I just wish that joke was funny.
Ikr? Those ah’s already walk around dressed like they’re in battle.
So this is where all those privately owned guns are gonna be used for their intended purpose - to oppose tyranny. Right?.. Right?
Incoming onion article: NRA says using guns to overthrow tyrannical government a right, not an obligation
Edit: I don’t knows if I should remove this, it is in bad taste, this is a gravely serious thing.
Initially my thought was this is what they’ll actually say or something – kind of dark humour.
I wish all Americans the best over the next several years.
Thank you.
Correct, and thanks for asking.
Most of us won’t survive longer than maybe a second or two, at best, but know without a doubt that we’re out there. You won’t see or hear anything about us because it won’t be covered by the suborned media.
All the anti-2a people have accomplished is to help the fascists into power and render themselves helpless against them.

Fascism is here, and the Second Amendment has never once been restricted in any practical fashion. That means that fascism rose to power while everyone was fuckin strapped. Nobody has done shit so far except that one kid in Butler who was a bad shot.
What do you still need so that you’d have been a genuine threat to the world’s global military hedgemon? A personal F-15 Eagle?
This is a fallacy and it’s a stupid one.
What do I need not to die in the first 0.5 seconds? 20 more of me.
One guy with some guns doesn’t last long.
20-30 armed people tend to last much longer barring an ATF vs. Waco deal.
See: those Ranchers assholes who didn’t want to pay to graze their cattle on public land, Cliven Bundy I think was one of their names, or the problematic but still effective in this instance NFAC who proved that if you peacefully protest while armed as fuck, suddenly - like magic - you’re afforded your first amendment rights and don’t get the fuck beaten out of you.
Lol bro what are you talking about? Given that there are few-to-no anti-2a people who feverishly vote far-right I think we can confidently say that they are not helping fascists into power. Unless, of course, we’re saying that gun owners getting butthurt and single-issuing their vote in order to keep their hobby is somehow their fault. Far too many gun owners put their firearms above their fellow countryman and it’s just embarrassing.
“Take my guns away?! Well how about THIS!” followed by “they made me do it” is so weak. Try again.
Context: I love guns as a hobby, even had a restricted license(could also own handguns in Canada) for a bit myself and days on the range were really fun. They’re 100% for fun, and if that fun comes at the cost of putting millions of basically unaccounted for firearms into circulation then it’s not fucking worth it.
I’m talking specifically about all my fellow Democrats who are anti gun, who pass stupid law after stupid law banning guns, restricting guns, magazines, ammunition, and so forth, who are now directly responsible for most Democrats not being armed or proficient with firearms.
I live in a blue state and my best friends who I love dearly have no idea I own firearms etc. because of how stigmatized they are here.
most Democrats not being armed or proficient with firearms.
Is this based on hard data or hyperbole?
I’m guessing I’d fit your definition of a Democrat but also your definition of anti-2FA.
I own exactly one firearm, but I used to own more. I don’t think I’ve ever told any of my friends that I own a gun, even our neighbor who’s mentioned his own multiple times. It’s just not something I feel compelled to talk about unless I’m actually going to shoot it.
After the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings it made me sick to my stomach looking at the semiautomatic military style rifle I had. I got rid of it and all my other firearms, only keeping the first one I ever bought, because it was a gun I had always wanted.
That gun has sat in the safe for the last five years, with a barrel lock, unused. I pulled it out last week, stripped it, checked, cleaned it and lubed it. It’s back in the safe now alongside two magazines loaded with .45 hollow points and six of FMJs.
I’ve even been looking at shotguns recently but I’m not ready to believe we’re there yet.
Here’s the thing though, most of the people I know from growing up are like me. We’re all pretty liberal still these days, we grew up around firearms, learned how to use them properly in gun safety training. Some kids hunted regularly, others would target shoot on the family farm when visiting or at the cabin.
I’m a Xennial though. Maybe our generation beat the Armalite crazy wave. We were all about the .30-06 and distance.
That and, in my opinion, the constant villainizing of firearms, to the point that many on the left are outright afraid of guns, or so disgusted with them that they’d rather eat rotten food than own one.
Well, that and constantly telling people that polite protests off in a corner are the only way to affect change. Those were often the same voice.
Of course constantly threatening to take away people’s stuff is going to get a person to vote for the guy saying he won’t take away people’s stuff. But the way those right-wing gun-nuts turned it into identity politics and single-issue voting is totally on them.
Probably not, based on the gun laws I’m seeing there.
Martial law here we come
Send them to the White House where the frequency and scale of the crimes is the highest
Wow, it’s like he’s building his own brown shirt brigade across the country!
red hats = brown shirts
ice = gestapo
this = ss
Crime is whatever he says it is I guess, and includes but is not limited to having the wrong skin color.
What about Posse Comitatus?
That only applies to Title 10 troops.
Laws don’t apply to the president and the police.
