Almost feel sorry for this guy, working so hard to create an echo chamber all by themselves.

remove human rights from individuals you don't like

yeah, i'd say it's more like removing the rights that the government gave themselves. as Reagan said, "terrifying words - I'm from the government and i'm here to help"

I'd say the majority of conservatives don't like government and wish they'd have less power over The People. One instance of this is the general opinion on the ATF (or BATFE if you're going by their modern(ish) name), they're an enforcement agency and yet are still making laws (they're doing so illegally by making "rules" on accessories such as Pistol Braces and Bump Stocks, both of which were given the OK from the ATF approximately 10 years ago (for the braces at least, can't recall about the bump stocks). In fact, when you look into the history of the ATF, they were apart of the Treasury Department because they're only job was to collect the taxes and fees, apply for permits, etc for Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

This is just one instance where the rights of the people are getting trampled on because of an agency where the director wasn't even voted in. Doesn't matter if you "need" it or "want" it but it's still nevertheless a right that you have. A practical approach that many people, even within the firearms industry, have told others is "if you don't want it, then don't buy it. We're not forcing you to purchase anything."

One of the sentiments I've been seeing online is the phrase "Become Ungovernable." I think we need to strive towards that.
