Thanks for a few smiles in this article on a very serious subject, i.e. "people should undergo background checks before being permitted to climb a flight of steps, like those leading up to Air Force One."

It is somewhat humorous, in a sort of morbid way, when you watch those incidents and consider the CDC statistics on how many people each year die from falling down. I'm sure there are a variety of falls included - from roofs, off ladders, in bathtubs, down stairs... Just seeing that particular number, I couldn't help but picture Air Force One and that red-carpeted stairway and think of the frail state of the figure struggling to ascend them.

The gun-grabbing leftists have been beating this dead horse for as long as I can remember. The most egregious violation of our 2nd, 4th and 5th ammendment rights came via the "patriot act".

Red flag laws are a GROSS violation of our 4th and 5th amendment rights.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated,..."

"...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; ..."

There is absolutely NO due process when the government can seize your guns simply because so-and-so said you were a threat. There are already instances where these red flag laws have ended up causing the person accused was harmed because they were no longer able to protect themselves with their LAWFULLY obtained, but illegally seized, gun.

I may get flagged for saying this, but we are past time to ACTIVELY exercise our 2nd Amendment right to defend ourselves against DOMESTIC threats.

I doubt very seriously that poopy pants joe understands what he is signing as an EO at this point. He can barely read the teleprompter to deliver his prepared statement.

One thing I forsee is beurocratic agencies like the ATF are going to end up with a lot of hurt agents that try to enforce these EOs.

I will NOT comply.

Along with constitutional carry. See how willing these people are to open fire on a group of people when that group of people are prepared to fire back.

Let them hang in the square downtown immediately after the guilty verdict. I guarantee shootings will stop very quickly.

Would the Judge Dredd type thing work? 🤔

I have long been in favor of bringing back public executions. As you said, it would be a HUGE deterant for would-be mass shooters.

It would be a huge deterrent to a vast majority of intentional murder. Was that girlfriend worth hanging in front of everyone? Was it necessary to drive after all them drinks? That bully really ruffle your feathers that bad with his harsh words and stupid pranks?

Martial law is an extremely slippery slope. Generally speaking, the roll of any National Guard or NG activated to full status by the federal government, is very limited in scope of what they are allowed to do.

I have known a number of guardsmen that said they would flat out refuse to carry out ANY unconstitutional or illegal order. And many said they simply would not go against their neighbors in ANY way.

And if I'm not mistaken, it is illegal for the regular military to be used domestically. I'm not 100% sure on that. If I am mistaken, I'm sure someone here can enlighten me.

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again. If you’re coming for me, bring bags because I’m not going down easy
