We stopped the world’s economy for a virus 99.9% of people survive and we printed $7 trillion in unbacked currency while we did it.
This is how it is now. That toothpaste doesn’t go back in the tube. Sorry. Some of us tried to stop it.
@Flock_Safety@Mrgunsngear If our Founding Fathers found out there were some fellows sitting at the intersections of every trail/road writing down specific details of all the wagons/cargo, horses & people that passed, along with their direction of travel, they would have hanged said fellows on the spot.

BREAKING NEWS: Seventy-Two Killed Resisting Gun Confiscation In Massachusetts.
National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed by elements of a Para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.
Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.
Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.
The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.
Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.
One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”
Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans.
During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists.
Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.
Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.
Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.
Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.
And this, My fellow Americans who do not know your History, this is how the American Revolution began on April 20, 1775.
History. Study it, or repeat it.

To those on the right giving us the “It’s not a big deal, they just upheld the way birthright citizenship been interpreted for 100 years”…
It is a big deal because the Democrats have been actively letting millions of people into the country illegally and this was our best chance to have this properly interpreted.
Honestly what is it going to take for you guys to wake the hell up and realize we are not in the same fight we were 20-30 years ago?
I am, once again, reminding you all.
There are ZERO historical examples of a people resolving the problem of significant communist/foreigner presence inside their borders peacefully. We are not going to be the first.
SCOTUS just ruled that illegal invaders are just as American as you or I. This is an injustice that will only expedite the destruction of our country. Traitors.
Amy Coney Barrett's and John Roberts' 250th gift to America is making sure the country doesn’t survive another 250 years.
Thank you so much for your suicidal empathy and institutionalist cowardice, you self-righteous POS.
Hope it was worth it, Roberts, so you could keep your precious "legitimacy of the Court" while Barrett ensures her adopted Haitian kids could feel more at home, while you both help finish burning everything else down.
Magic dirt my ass.
