What would they be?
Just by reading his posts, I get the impression that he has been properly brainwashed. It's scary to me that there are millions out there that are just as clueless as to the purpose of the Bill of Rights. It was written for exactly this reason, so that there are no misinterpretations of the rights that "We the People" have.
It's sad that free men don't want to remain truly free.
Most likely, sit in their mom's basement and post more drivel.

I know what Trumpers will be doing, fully supporting it because it is coming from their guy......
I don’t know if you noticed, but they are jumping inline to support him over gun control.

I believe I stated before that Trump is screwing up.
Going over to the left side of gun control will earn him nothing.
He will lose the support of his base and gain not one thing from Trump haters like yourself.

He was already on the left, he is just showing you his stripes. His real stance on gun control is one of the reasons I am a ‘trump hater’.
More on that elusive "turning point" for gun control .....

Well, you know where I stand. I don't play the fall-on-my-sword dedication to any politician. I have my principles regardless.
But, I'd like to know what Sap will do if we were ever to suffer from a tyrannical leader, dissolving all of our liberties. What about you? Are you willing to form up with a militia, gather up our arms and take your country back? Or are you of the thinking that this could never happen in this country, or just follow along in order to stay alive, be-damned future generations.

im one of the most pro 2ndA guys on this site. Tyranny and revolution happen all the time, it could certainly happen here again.
That being said, we aren’t anywhere near even talking about rising up. A group of people working public opinion and the legislature to try to affect a change is not tyranny. It is our system.
Are you familiar with Waco?
Do you own a nuclear weapon? A bazooka? A scud missile?
Unless you do its going to be a very one sided affair. Having an assault rifle isn't going to make the difference

A handful of men with rifles held off the entire US government for two months in Waco. Those officers getting shot would not have called that a one sided affair
What was the outcome of that? How did it work out for the Branch Davidians?
My point is you aren't going to beat the US military at a fire fight on their own soil.
Using that as an excuse to own an assault rifle is not a valid argument.
all YOUR OPINION and Conjecture ....
How Long Have We Been Trying To WIN in Afghanistan :shrug:
Wooosh, wonder boy. The point you missed: A bunch of 4th century goat humpers with a smattering of conventional firearms have held off the Soviet Union military and now the US military for going on 40 years....
Much like the North Vietnamese did...and they eventually won outright.
YOU Are the one lacking in comprehension ... you cannot see the parallels only the myopic progressive talking points
Afghanistan Islamists have tied up the best Military in the world ... and the Soviets before that [until we supplied Stinger Anti Aircraft Missiles]
how much latitude to you think that same military is going to have to operate on US Soil ... wonder boy
Since the Military is restricted from acting in a Law Enforcement Capacity ...
They will be sitting in the barracks doing NOTHING ...
the local NatG might get called out, but that is about it ...

If I did own a nuke or bazooka, etc... would you consider me any more dangerous than if I didn't?
Just because I can't own those weapons doesn't mean I should be as well-armed as I possibly can under what our gracious government allows. If you reject the intent of our founders then let's just do away with the constitution as a whole. If it's out-dated for the 2A, then it's outdated for all of it.
I'll try this again... what will YOU do if Trump decides to dissolve congress and our constitution and install himself as dictator? Would you do what our founders demanded we do to preserve our constitutional nation, take up arms against this tyrannical government? If so, wouldn't you want to be as well-armed as possible? Or would you be content with accepting that we are no longer the USA, but rather we are the subjects of Donald J. Trump?

As I said, they held the federal government at bay for two months. Then the fed pressed the issue and the group was killed.
That’s not a real good example if you are trying to say people should not fear a tyrannical government.
But it is a great example of a handful of rifles making a huge difference.
Did you see what happened when the bundys took on the BLM over their cattle?
A handful of guys with guns defeated the fed without firing a shot. I didn’t agree with their cause, but they proved the hypothesis

The vast majority of us have derided the idea of more gun control, regardless of from whom it comes. This was
