The issue is, do you trust this administration to decide who is a criminal? They're already accusing judges who are doing their jobs of doing illegal things.
They want to say anyone who doesn’t love dump is crazy. That way they can justify taking away guns from the left or anyone who doesn’t agree with them.
Once they shed any part of the constitution, they can shred ant part of the constitution. These MAGAts will find out soon enough, fascism has no friends, only enemies.
Depends on who they decide to define as "criminals". Pretty much a tactic in any authoritarian regime is to spend a lot of time and energy villaizing specific groups of people until everyone suspects them and don't ask questions when they're designated "criminals" and carted off.
They only want to take guns from those who aren’t “patriots” (i.e. MAGAts). See Steve Bannon’s letter to Mango Mussolini, which makes this clear, if it isn’t clear enough already.
If she takes guns from "the criminals" (she means "the blacks") the only people with guns will be the MAGA criminals like the ones Trump freed from prison.
I'm white, left-leaning, and own a gun. There are a lot of us actually. The right is constantly confused by this... please, liberals, don't be as stupid as them.
The wife and I got in huge argument, since the elected Dems are just begging for money instead of doing something physical, I think she’s right, f the Democrats and run, if they don’t give an F, I probably should just f’ing run away too. F$&@ing elected Dems just sitting around collecting money.
In the 2016 campaign, Trump said he wanted to send the feds into Chicago and confiscate guns. The GOP said nothing, because they’re ok with taking guns from “those people”.
MAGA has a selective memory. If Trump tells them its not a big deal then its not. They wont start to care when its their lives upended, which is starting to happen.
I'm sorry it took something bad to happen to MAGA before what the bad they wanted for BIPOC to happen before realizing its just bad.
so the administration that doesn't believe in the bill of rights, or the constitution itself, is coming for your second amendment. could you imagine? let me find my pearls so i can clutch them. they will call anyone they disagree with a criminal to take any of your rights away. #thatsFascism
The Constitution is like the Bible to them: it says whatever they want it to say. They use both documents to argue from authority without reading or understanding them. They "believe in them" only so far as they are useful in getting them what they want.
Well well well. They plan to take your guns before you can use them on the tyrannical overlords. Sounds like a Second Amendment violation. And I thought the NRA backed the Republicans. They're taking your jobs, your healthcare, your education, your social security and now want to disarm you.
What she means is 'take the guns away from anyone who votes Democrat'. Because of course no REPUBLICAN could or would POSSIBLY have guns illegally, would they? We remember that EVERYTHING Trump is 'Rules for thee but not for me'.
This is wholly incorrect. While the Nazis took guns away from Jews, they actually greatly loosened Weimar era gun regulations. They also implemented weapons training for young adults.
I wasn’t aware of general gun ownership being tolerated - if that’s accurate, I stand corrected. Most others I have read about had zero tolerance for guns. Hence, its enshrinement in our Constitution (for a well-armed militia) being a critical right that set us apart, for better or for worse.
Not gun ownership as much as being part of a militia. Which were to be regulated by each state. And it was a British thing before being an American thing. The English in particular had a paranoid when it came to standing Armies, so they relied on a militia system at home.
It's less about taking the guns from everyone and more about ensuring that only those who support the regime/system/ideology have guns, or at least have far more of them than the opposition. The reason right-wingers amass arsenals is not to fight tyrants but to ensure their tyrants stay in power.
And why they infiltrate the military and law enforcement at every level.
The Irish were treated like dirt in this country in the early 1800s. Then they figured out if they stocked the police forces with Irishmen, they couldn't be treated like dirt by the police.
Irishmen getting into police forces was definitely a factor in the Irish becoming more accepted. Two other important factors were the Irish contributions to the Civil War (helping save the Union) and the Irish-Americans joining the nativists in their dislike of newer immigrant groups.
They will disarm women and minorities, the way they are already doing it by laying of women and minorities in the military and other enforcement agencies.
Imagine performing a hostile takeover of a nation with 40 million people, using threats and force, incorporatingthat country within your border, and then giving them unfettered access to assault rifles.
Gun nuts who think Trump actually cares about the 2a are delusional. Especially after the assassination attempt. Trump will take your guns if he feels like there is a threat to him.
All the cult members are power-hungry. Im just waiting for 2 to bump heads.
I seriously thought it would be Musk and Patel. When he told his crew not to respond to Musks email
The ONLY people that have said “let’s take the guns” without due process are literally extreme republicans currently in charge, but it’s democrats calling for common sense reforms that are a danger? THAT is how stupid and deluded 2nd amendment morons are.
No dictator allows the citizens to own guns, they fear an armed uprising. No matter what he claims he knows there will be some uprising, and he will try to limit the damage.
I mean it wasn’t a totally bad plan. Working in the mental health field it would be great to have some of that power to keep people safe until things are sorted out.
But of course magas are so incredibly ignorant of what a fascist state does and they just set this in motion. Guns will be condiscated even from them. Only designated enforcers will be armed.
roflmao - you think that is going to stop him? The law, for him, is just an obstacle to be worked around and/or ignored... until it works in his benefit.
I’m not disagreeing with you. I know he does whatever he wants regardless of the law. I was just stating what the law is…I’m sure he owns a gun or two or more.
Problem w/ Bondi is how she will want to define "criminals." I'm old enough to remember when husband could just swear to a doctor & judge wife was crazy & get her locked up in an asylum & given shock treatments until she's "better" (more compliant). Think TDS would = too crazy to vote or own a gun?
All the NRA cherry-picking the 2A and talk about guns stopping tyranny, and yet here we are! And guess what? Regulations and background checks never amounted to confiscation like Bondi suggests.
I’m from a blue state and we register our weapons but how about we shake things up a bit and start a discussion of not requiring the registration of weapons and see how the republicans react? An armed democratic base? What do you think?
They also said the mentally ill. Something they already call LGBTQA+, and is broad enough to apply to all sorts of things. Anyone who's ever taken anti-depressants for example. I'm quite sure atheists will be "mentally ill," too.
It's his supporters who are heavily armed. Many of them ex-military who are well trained war vets. What happens when they start loosing VA benefits and PTSD counseling? Or loose their government jobs?
She & trump don't want to take guns from criminals. They need not have been found guilty of any violent crime, just arrested & held for 24 to 72 hours, during which their guns will be taken and held and during which time a decision will be made by someone as to whether it's "safe" to give them back.
After a little over 60 years "they" are all tired and butthurt over anything that may provide a more level field of opportunity for all Americans to excel and prosper.
After CENTURIES of hate, there are Americans sick & tired of the hate bs too!
I got into brain cell reducing argument at a coffee shop with an older white man wearing the MAGA dunce cap. He said he feels threatened that he’s the minority in his community that used to be white. What’s emerging at warp speed is wealthy white men trying to remind everyone of their superiority.
Wow, Pam Bondi actually had a decent idea? That’s a shock. MAGA being mad about basic gun safety? Not shocking at all. Their loyalty to the gun lobby always outweighs common sense, even when it could save lives.
The issue here is that it is a good idea if you have a government you trust. The fact that this administration is already accusing judges who are doing their jobs of overstepping their bounds and being criminals does not give me hope for the rest of us being labeled as such.
One of the MAGA commenters kills me. "Nothing changes, the Republicans will continue to obey their Democratic masters" LOL. This guy drinks his Orange Koolaide like I drink my coffee, strong and lots of it!
The GOP has mastered the media war—Democrats are still playing defense. This article lays out the blueprint for how Dems can take back the narrative, control the conversation, and WIN. My time to fight smarter, faster, and harder—before it’s too late.
This is an amazing (and somewhat scary) tool that tracks the completion of the initiatives in Project 2025. Remarkably, they are already at 36% in just over a month.
Humor is a cure many times over yet lately I've struggled with making fun of real time criminal behavior, which causes untold sufferings in communities large and small. I am wondering if laughing at them serves any purpose anymore, except to embolden them? Should we have Lament Fests instead?
I wonder if removing the guns (which Putin will insist on) will finally activate the MAGA. With their “FRUM MAH COLD DEAD HANDS” bullshit they’ve spouted for decades… well let’s see how that works when you are finally TESTED.
I'm not hopeful here. They'll find some good reason to take arms from those they deem dangerous, and MAGA will cheer because it's not them. They're still the good guys. Then when it's just them it'll be their turn, but there won't be enough left to resist.
They're coming from your guns. That's why they always accused Dems of wanting to - it was GOP projection for their own desire to take guns from citizens to disarm & control them, prevent them from rising up against a tyrannical govt.

I'd wager a bet that the GQP will start to consider new gun laws when THEY're on the receiving end of their constituents' lead aspirin dispensers.
VOTER SUPRESSION in USA:

There's more to those fascists than just taking guns away.
The Irish were treated like dirt in this country in the early 1800s. Then they figured out if they stocked the police forces with Irishmen, they couldn't be treated like dirt by the police.
This must have been after she dropped the Trump Uni lawsuit and received a non-related contribution of $25,000 to her campaign fund from Trump 💰

I'd enjoy sharing 'threatened minority' anecdotes with Mr. owm. 😏
Who decides who is "Mentally ill" "A danger to the country"
They have already decided "Woke" and LGBT+ is a mental illness......who else?
They just want an excuse to dis-arm those that disagree with them!
Remember they pardoned the J6ers!
