Second Amendment rights exercised in Orlando

I applaud your confidence/naivete!

 

After eight years of predicing it was going to happen, why aren't there FEMA camps?
Is it because of watchdogs like Alex Jones drawing attention to it or is it because there were never any plans for them in the first place?

 

The latter, I imagine. But your confidence given the past few decades is more than I can offer.

 

Question seems more in the Socratic vein. You first. Since you asked the question you must have a thought as to the reason.

 

This one is from way back, but powerful. I disagree on the magazine capacity, but otherwise, strong stuff.

 

Refresh my memory, how many nations with a couple of centuries of peaceful democratic rule are now ruled by dictators?

(And y'all itching to type, "The USA under Obama!" can just stop now.)

 

There always has to be a first. I'm not expecting it to happen, but I'm not totally ruling it out either

 

When you wrote "I'm sure many of the folks living under dictators around the world never thought it could happen to them," who were you referring to?

 

Any and all of them. I know it's more complicated than that ... All I'm saying is never say never.

 

More importantly, what do you think you're going to do about it, even without gun restrictions?

 

Arguments rooted in slippery slope theories - that the loss of gun right A leads to loss of gun rights B-Z - are specious and tactical and smacking of self-interest.
