Isn't this the exact type of thing the 2nd Amendment types were supposed to have their guns and militia to guard against?

It's only tyranny when THEY experience it. Otherwise it's just more big strong daddy to wank to.

Any and all pro gun people won't do shit. It's all blustery BS. It's a hobby not a means to right a wrong.

I've said this before but- My wife hated my guns. Told me to keep them out of her sight. Last year she bought a 9mm.

being necessary to the security of a free State

Yeah but they are losing out because of all of this as well. A crashing economy will screw everyone over regardless of how they vote. It's not like any of his plans have policies in them to protect his supporters, he doesn't care about his own supporters.

In 4 years time he'll either no longer be able to remain president and will step down due to term limits, or he will have completely taken control and he'll be in charge indefinitely as an actual dictator. Either way he doesn't need his supporters anymore.
