Im just curious, Trump has been calling for his supporters to come to DC, to protest Biden being officially named the POTUS, while he didnt instruct them to come armed...you have to wonder if many will?


Despite what democrats think...Trump and his supporters TRULY believe there was massive fraud on a level never seen before...and considering this involves the highest and most powerful seat in the entire nation, this is actually jeopardizing the security of the US, (in their opinion), so it stands to reason people would arm themselves...right?


After all, if an American citizen stands by and allows a thief to 'steal' the most powerful seat in the nation, its a good bet they would allow much more harm to be done.

I doubt the good Patriots will bring guns to the rally. Why would they need to unless the Dems are ready to move in on them and round them up for the reeducation camps.



The time for arming will come if the Dems lead us down a dangerous anti American path but even then taking up arms against ones country is serious life and death business.

I'm sure there are some conceal carriers out there. Just like a drivers license, it is good in all 50 states and territories.

You're talking about the Constitution being "good in all 50 states and territories", right?

Surely you know that that's not even close to true for a state's concealed-carry permit.

Don't you?

National Guard has been activated in DC and it has been posted and broadcast that carrying a gun at or near a protest will result in arrest.

So if they do, they'd better be concealed, and they'd better keep it in their pants.

Despite feeling like the police are generally on their side, the alt-right needs to understand that only 5% of the residents of DC voted for Trump, a lower number than any of the States. They are not on friendly territory with their message. But I doubt if they care, since much of what I've heard from them is that they're eager for the "boogaloo" to kick off.

Heck, I've even heard that if Antifa doesn't bother to show up, no bother, some of the Proud Boys will dress up and pretend to be them...it'd be funny in a way, if, so determined were they to enact a conflict, they supplied not only the combatants from their own side, but the "enemy" for them to oppose. With any luck, they'll take the ban on carrying guns seriously and it'll just be a boffer sword cosplay exercise.

And the FACT is belief DOES NOT make something the TRUTH!

At which time it would be too late.

It's already happened:

“Upon his arrest, he was found to be in possession of two high capacity firearm magazines and charged accordingly with that offense as well,” the MPD spokesman told ABC News.

A flatly unconstitutional order.

Not that that's ever stopped the gun-rights-haters.

While there's NO IF about the Reps leading us down a dangerous anti-American path with their lame attempts at trampling the Constitution based on belief unsupported by fact.
