You have only those rights you would shoot a man in the face to defend, because sooner or later, he's going to show up and tell you otherwise.....
    Or won't because he knows you have the ability to shoot him in the face. Lose that ability and he is unchecked.

    We can all live peacefully together, hold hands, sing Kumbaya, and drink Cokes. Or not. I am content to live my life as I do now; don't cross into other's path, don't tread on me and we're all good. The thing is, however, that some don't see it that way. They are hell-bent on making YOU live the way THEY think you should. Of course most of them won't live that way themselves, that's just for the common riff-raff.

    People would rather virtue signal on SOCMED for a dopamine hit than espouse natural, inalienable rights.

    But, yeah, the Pols aren’t going to be the ones rodeo’ing our gatpieces...

    WA State is closer to passing their no DJT on the ballot law. It's been proposed in about half the States, and has a decent chance in half a dozen of the most liberal ones.

    Fun fact, Lincoln wasn't even on the ballot in ten southern States. They started to seceded immediately after the election, before he was inaugurated. But yeah, we survived the 60's so we should just ignore disturbing signs now.

    This. I hit 40 this year, if we are going to play I would prefer to do it sooner rather than later. This back isn’t going to last forever.

    How could that possibly be legal? That is disenfranchising all pro-Trump voters in WA state. There is absolutely no way that would stand up in court.

    That goes without saying. Law enforcement is going to be the one to enforce the law. But that doesn't mean that the police, in and of themselves, are hypocrites and traitors. The majority of cops I know would either refuse to enforce unjust laws, mostly by saying that they "didn't see nothin'", or would just put their foot down and say we're not leaving and we're not complying; either form a new police force or repeal this law. Others would just turn in their badges and join the resisters. Cops know that there's no point in enforcing illegal laws on behalf of people who hate cops anyway.

    Among law enforcement, however, there are the liberal cops who want to take the guns. There are also the "mercenary" cops who follow orders: They don't make the law, they just enforce it, and if they're getting paid to seize guns, then that's what they're going to do. And there are those who will disagree the law, but they got bills to pay and mouths to feed, and me and mine trumps all else with them. There will be a sizeable chunk of those types, but there will be an equally large chunk of guys who refuse though.

    Ah, but to Seattle disenfranchising us deplorable "retarded, inbred, mouth-breathing hick subhumans" is not a BUG, it's a FEATURE... make no mistake they'd disenfranchise us right into the grave and jack off onto our corpses if they only got half a chance.

    Trust me, I KNOW these people because I grew up among the local elites and was educated as if I were one of their own children... so I've seen all the stuff hidden behind the mask.

    The law will require a candidate to release tax returns. As a way for a State that is no way going to Trump, just to keep orange man off the ballot.

    If I had a penny for every illegal law that's been passed in the last 40 years, I'd be wealthier than Soros.
