Yup, boarder towns in red states are going to start stopping women as they travel through their towns to make sure they aren’t pregnant.

      They won’t take away the right to bear arms. It’s a pretty standard practice of authoritarian governments but if they try that the illusion will instantly be dispelled. They’ve already convinced their base they need weapons to fight off communists so it’s not really necessary to strip that right.

        Not from white people, no.

        “A woman travelling with a gun across state lines? She’s clearly doing that to have an abortion, so therefore her weapon and her car can be seized under civil asset forefiture since they were being used in the commission of a crime. I mean, what other reason would there be for a woman to need to travel across state lines other than to have an abortion?”

        “A trans person already broke into one of our elementary schools and shot several children. How long are we going to ignore the obvious mental disorder that is transsexuality? Not accepting the gender that Almighty God assigned to them at birth is itself a mental health issue that should disqualify trans people from carrying firearms at all under our red flag laws…”

        “The crime rates in many of our larger cities is out of control. In order to combat the increasing crime rates in many of our minority-populated cities where local law enforcement has proven to be ineffective, any city with a crime rate above X percent, a population above X thousand people, or in any area labelled to be a “high crime district”, we are introducing legislation to ban and confiscate all firearms in the affected areas.”

        White people who have the God-given right to shoot targets with weapons that are grossly overpowered for that purpose have little to nothing to fear. But Republicans in some cases already have tried to test the waters of these arguments to see what they can get away with. I will gladly bet you the left body part of your choice that not only will the GOP try something like this, they’ll do it while the rest of the 2A nuts cheer them on.

        Remember, most gun advocates believe “We” have the right to bear arms. And when they say “We”, they mean themselves. Not you. As long as you’re only going after the guns of those people, the right won’t have a problem. And you and I both know what I mean when I say “those people”.
