@VooDooMedic - I once got pulled over for speeding when I wasn't. A car was passing me, and the radar gun must've picked that up. I talked my way out of it, but had I been unsuccessful... it's not as though I would've shot a cop over it.
Much like jumping out of a plane with no parachute, the "muh guns" maneuver can be pulled precisely once. And most all the people who would ever do such a thing, understand this.
So there's that to consider.
@VooDooMedic - America is a big place, with lots of people. And there's been multiculturalism from the beginning (hence, the mutt pedigree). Point being, not everyone is on the same page, or holds the same values, or speaks the same language.
A lot of very vocal people love the thought of being a well-cared for slave, and if it costs their children... Well that's a sacrifice they're willing to make.
We're still trying to figure out who stands where.
@VooDooMedic - I'm long winded, and not a fast typist. 😅
Personally, I don't think the overthrow is ever gonna happen in a way that results in a unified country. For this and other reasons, though I'm a natural citizen of the United States... I no longer call myself American.
I expect collapse, balkanization, and then the gun crowd will have their way in their own locale.
But there's a small chance things go different, if the govt gets dumber (maybe not so small a chance after all them). 🍻
