The Federal government is going to cross a line and it’s not too far off. I’ve always said I don’t know what the breaking point is, but we’re getting closer. When a small group of tyrannical oligarchs directly effects the day to day activities of a large number of people, they’re asking for it. What are they going to do, declare Martial law? The military isn’t going to stand for this garbage. Nearly every person in the state of Texas has a gun. They better think real carefully about the decisions being made at the Federal level now.

“They better think real carefully about the decisions being made at the Federal level now.”
These people don’t think, they just feel, and acting on feelings is usually wrong. I agree with you, we are getting very close to the breaking point, and as the events of 20 years ago in Eastern Europe showed, when enough people take to the streets, the authorities cannot arrest or shoot everybody so the whole house of cards comes down. And it is esp. valid here in Texas where we are armed.

That line was crossed back in 1942 with the case of Wickard v. Filburn when the Supreme Court ruled that a farmer who grew wheat in excess of his federal allowance was subject to regulation under the Commerce Clause even though the wheat was solely for his personal consumption and none of it left his farm.

Our founders were well aware of the eventual threat of tyranny. To quote Jefferson

"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive."

I believe liberals will not stop trampling on the US Constitution until there is an outright confrontation. They may call it a “living document” but they actually seek to replace it totally with a communist state, by enacting one socialist law at a time.

Yep. And most of us in Arizona have multiple guns.
