Yeah, I was interpreting it under the lens of current legal application, not reality. In reality, it’s a group of people who want to violently oppress their fellow citizens through any means possible.

No matter who's president? Because fighting off rebellions was a big part of what those militias were used for.

Ostensibly. They’re obviously lying, but that’s what they say.

It's WELL-regulated, not "barely regulated at all with little to no enforcement to speak of"

It’s my understanding that the extant gun laws are legally considered to fulfill this requirement, otherwise private gun ownership wouldn’t be possible. Personally I disagree, but I’m not sure what standard would otherwise be used.

I do hope you’re correct, but I don’t trust the US government to adhere to common sense anymore. I guess we’ll see what the court says, because someone’s going to challenge this.

Or maybe he’ll get voted out in November and this will be disbanded before anything happens with it. I think that’s probably the best option, because then it doesn’t get a chance to be approved by this SCOTUS and nobody has to have their civil rights violated by this group.

The one on the right looks like how I feel when someone tells me some qanonsense

Honestly better than the giant metal fan greentext imo

To be fair, there’s a shocking number of made up words… that’s part of the fun?

It will, but the hard part’s getting everyone else to go along with it

I think they were responding to the “neither goes anywhere” part, not the support part

Neoliberal hubris

They’re training them to protect federal infrastructure and they’re still subject to gun regulations. I think it will be a political tool used to oppress the citizenry, so not the spirit of the law, but the letter.

Yeah, this is scary, but that’s literally the 2nd amendment

Do you think all people are exactly the same level of social or just dislike that it’s considered a binary?

Depends on how wrong it is. I’m unable to digest pork and will say something if there’s bacon on my food. I don’t like sun dried tomatoes and will happily pick them off.
