I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
Trump is the greatest argument for the 2nd amendment.
(Though seriously… gun control folks. It saves lives.)
Not saying it’s a great argument, really. I mean think about it. If he has the military side with him, any rifle I might have … ain’t gonna do jack to the UCAVs dropping bombs.
If trump loses? If it’s not contained immediately, it’ll probably look like The Troubles/Northern Ireland conflict or the LA Gang wars in the 80’s, (and the same kind of increase in hyper-militarism among police, in point of fact. It’s not talked about much, but the la gang wars were what prompted that in the us.)
