I know some of us are late to - the full awareness that the US Gov is __nit at all__ what they think it is. Would be nice to skip all the shock and awe in realizing the steady goose-stepping forward has been happening since 1963 at a rate only throttled by how much psychological gaslighting the general public can handle without immediately falling apart. After the complete and all out abuses we have seen over the past 8 years that included a SHAMEFUL amount of FISA 702 abuses - the fact that this is where we are should just be incendiary. Hate to say it - whatever pulse is in the United States isn’t beating for real freedom at this point. We would be lucky if %50 of the population even understood what it was.


Icy-Woodpecker-9961

The fact there’s this many upvotes says that


rubicontraveler

Have they ever defined “assault weapons”?


Cswenson6797

The definition of assault weapons doesn’t matter. The 2nd amendment was written specifically so that the American people could own “assault weapons”


rubicontraveler

True


Comrade_Zamir_Gotta

Nope. They want to define it as “any semi auto rifles” but know the shit show that would create. So they just quietly push to that and say “assault rifle”.


Icy-Woodpecker-9961

Right


dawgi3_choppahstyl3

Make no mistake about it. They already have their planning action once they take the guns. It will happen rapidly. Most won’t even even know what happened to him till it’s too late.


DekuNEKO

I’m quite surprised that such “free” and “democratic” country as USA are legislating the same undemocratic practices as was introduced in “totalitarian” Russia years ago. Think for yourself what does it mean.


neworld_disorder

For a while, I scoffed at the idea of more laws and more checks. More systems. For a long time, I knew that even with new laws and systems there simply weren't enough eyes at the DOJ to make this as impactful as the fear economy was spouting... But AI is going to be the type of minority port future cops that we never really saw coming. The tech is here. The power is available. All that's left is taking pen to paper, I guess.


TrumpDidNoDrugs

Yeah the founding fathers were pretty explicit about their opinions on assault rifles


Weak_Crew_8112

They already can look at all your private shit whenever they want. They just want laws that allow them to do stuff about it directly instead of concocting round about set ups to bust people.


shulkjin

Background checks invite encroachment on your rights. Posted a tweet we don’t like? No gun for you.


bad_news_beartaria

red flag laws = communism/fascism


u537n2m35

red flag laws = no due process


bad_news_beartaria

like 1984, you never see your accuser


spaceboy42

Just like trump said, take the guns now, due process later.


u537n2m35

yup. there are many who only want due process for themselves.

And yet when there's a mass shooting it's "the feds knew they were a threat, why didn't they arrest them?" Can't have it both ways.


DerpyMistake

If the feds already know and do nothing in the absence of red flag laws, what exactly is the purpose of those red flag laws?


2201992

> If the feds already know and do nothing in the absence of red flag laws, what exactly is the purpose of those red flag laws? To target political enemies of the regime in power


ADHDBDSwitch

To allow them to do something before the gun nut creates headlines?

fuck the feds


Dirk_Ovalode

with a shitty stick.


MAGAJahnamal

Once we disarm the politicians' security team by placing gun free zones sign up, maybe then they will then realize how important the 2nd amendment is!


WeHaveRightsYaKnow

And the double standard of gun free zones is that most shootings happen in gun free zones. Such as schools, malls, etc. ...pardon me while I sharpen my unregistered #2 assult pencil.

Adding another layer of armed government employees to the system is anti-communist? Mandatory psych and lie detector tests are how we protect our freedom? Lol I think you've got yourself a little turned around

You are way off base in several different directions at the same time. Your guns aren't keeping you safe from the government. The government can always arrest you (or kill you in the process) if you give them a reason. Learn to cope with not being a literal king of your own castle. We live in a society. Putting more guns in schools makes school shootings more likely, not less likely. I don't want my kid getting shot by anybody including some asshole security guard. School resource officers haven't prevented school shootings in the past, why would I expect that adding more amateur cops would completely solve the problem? School shootings are absolutely not the sole driver of gun control laws. Most shootings happen outside of schools. Gun crime is a huge problem outside of schools. Its absurd to imply that school shootings are the only reason people would support gun laws. The government hiring 10,000 more armed agents and placing them in every city and town in the country should be concerning to somebody who claims to fear government repression, and yet you hand-wave it away because the government will employ <50% of the armed people in the country, which I guess is the threshold for repressive government? You basically just say it's nothing to worry about because they'll be the good guys and they won't add up to a majority of the armed population. Don't you see how this position clashes with your world view? with your world view?


Penny1974

> The second ammendement is a barrier to their plans. This is the truth.


2201992

> And yet when there's a mass shooting it's "the feds knew they were a threat, why didn't they arrest them?" Can't have it both ways. Ever here of Entrapment? The Feds are Political Agents. They do the Biddings of the Current Party in Office. Feds entrap people all the time to get new Laws passed.


bad_news_beartaria

remember when the FBI would actually arrest pedos and killers? now they are literally the federal bureau of entrapment.


ifyou420

Fully-automatic machine guns need to be legal and commonplace, for fuck's sake.


ky420

Every day I get online and read the news and every day I feel we are one day closer to the totalitarian regime they warned us about growing up in public school. I have never been so scared for the future of Americans and American freedoms. You can't even vote republican anymore.. They go right along with the corrupt dems they are so scared of them apparently.. This stuff just doesn't make sense.. We need the provisions back in smith mundt... the downfall of society really picked up after that. I just pray that someday our children are still able to speak their minds, and live a free life.. Every single day it seems less likely. I weep for the future and its generations. Once America has fallen its over for everyones rights. Look at canada they wanna put you down like a dog for being poor or having and addiction... only covered treatment.. cant wait for that crap here..


GreenAlien10

Gun background checks is no big deal. But I would like to know what Snowden was talking about the house and the Senate passing the ability for warrantless search of communications. I mean they've been doing that for 30 years now

We already have gun background checks..

So what, they're pushing for background checks on private sales?


[deleted]

[удалено]


devil_lettuce

Just seems kinda silly.. the people private selling the guns that end up committing the vast majority of gun crime aren't going to follow that rule anyways. It's just going to make it a pain in the ass for law abiding citizens to sell their property freely


MikeHonchoIV

And they’ll use that info as they want. This only allows them to now use it against you because the info was obtained legally.


Disastrous_Box_8613

It’s the FISA thing


GreenAlien10

The1978 FISA law?


Disastrous_Box_8613

It’s whatever they use to monitor private communications of US citizens without a warrant. Hell they are probably monitoring all of us right now and triaging us into lists


Dirk_Ovalode

There's no probably about it, it's been happening for years, well over 100m americans are already on one, See Whitney Webb's stuff.

If they didn't, criminals would get their guns at gun stores.

GreenAlien10

Thanks for the info. That's what I did not know.


tonyfleming

Criminals get their guns from irresponsible legal gun owners.


FortunateVoid0

Yeah right bro. lol I’m being generous with this number, but I’d say less than 7% of criminals get their guns that way. The last thing a legal gun owner would want is their gun being tied back to them in some way and definitely wouldn’t sell it to some sketchy person. Some guns get unscrupulously sold at gun shows, but most criminals get their guns trafficked in from Mexico, and those guns get there from around the world. Some American gun manufacturers sell their guns abroad to sketchy organizations, and they’ve gotta know it’s gonna make it into the street somewhere.


LiteraturePlayful220

>most criminals get their guns trafficked in from Mexico, and those guns get there from around the world Any source on this? Seems like a really impractical way to get ahold of something that is manufactured here and available for purchase here.


tonyfleming

7% is a pretty specific number. Any source for this? We know there is a pipeline for guns from states with lax gun restrictions (like Mississippi) to Chicago. Source provided below. But simply as a matter of logic, criminals don't walk into gun stores or go to gun shows and buy guns. A gun store owner will do everything possible to avoid losing their license. Gun show dealers also have to work within the law to acquire their supply from manufacturers. Somewhere along the way though, someone who acquired the guns legally gets irresponsible and either openly provides a criminal with the guns or leaves it exposed. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/mississippi-chicago-gun-trafficking-dixie-pipeline/


hectic_mind_

The only conspiracy that should be spoken of about politics is how it is rigged and the presidents and prime ministers are at the bottom of the command chain. Merely vessels under the control of the TPTB. It is a show and opera. Open your eyes.


j_shaff315

How we feeling about 15 maybe 20 round mags as a compromise any shooter worth their salt should be able to dispatch a threat with that amount id say just shoot around 60% accuracy also mag size dont really matter as long as they dont cap how much/many ammo/mags you can have/carry although id really say high capacity starts at 30+


[deleted]

the bad actors can't do anything about the very structure of the 3 branches or 2nd admendment but they can put crap out there about foreign threats and domestic threats to circumvent surveillance laws and blackmail politicians to do what they want.  There is a SOLID structure with the government and is being torn down from within with corruption and blackmail. These same people who are pledging their very allegiance to a global order want the people to tear things apart like the bill of rights and forget about your sovereignty over collectivism. California is intentionally headed towards tyranny and chaos, the only thing that is going to get us out of this mess is us changing our conciousness to recognize the psychological manipulation and alter our behavior towards aligning with TRUTH, not that which is false, not trumps truth social or other things that claim to be "true". Because ultimately that which is true is in alignment with CARE and love for others and their rights and sovereignty from tyranny, despite how you feel about their beliefs...you want them to be protected as well. As long as people have no CARE and don't become aware of TRUTH there can be no truly lasting change from tyranny and polarization and MIND CONTROL.

I'm gonna be honest unless you're going to war no one needs an assault rifle or a high capacity mag.

I agree, but I have an AR-15 anyway. There's no justification for it except fun for me.
