BREAKING NEWS: White House says Trump will sign spending bill to avoid shutdown but will declare border emergency TOO – as Pelosi warns GOP a future Democratic president could use the same tactic to impose gun control..."I know the Republicans have some unease about it, no matter what they say. Because if the president can declare an emergency on something that he has created as an emergency, an illusion that he wants to convey, just think of what a president with different values can present to the American people,' she said.

'You want to talk about a national emergency? Let's talk about today, the one-year anniversary of another manifestation of the epidemic of gun violence in America. That's a national emergency. Why don't you declare that emergency, Mr. President? I wish you would. But a Democratic president can do that. [A] Democratic president can declare emergencies as well,' she threatened."

Yeah, no. The Second Amendment can't be over-ridden by an executive order. And are we supposed to believe that Democrats won't use their next presidency to declare that global warming is a national emergency, anyway? Declare the emergency now, Mr. President, and get the wall construction underway.

Insulin access will be restored when a desperate parent goes to the local pharmacy with a gun and demands it. Repeated 10,000 or a million times across the country.

Again, you’re not thinking about the consequences. NO ONE is going to sit around and starve to death, or watch their kid just die, not when they have firearms and they KNOW that someone is doing this to them ON PURPOSE.

True. Conversations are useful things.

I get tired of the ‘shoot them on my doorstep’ responses.

Not very logical or helpful.

Just understand that some good people will turn them in. Because they haven’t the means or life situation to do otherwise. Doesn’t mean they’re on the ‘other side’.

“...The issue isn’t the people who would likely engage and are prepped....”

It’s exactly the issue, because if that balloon goes up, they WILL indeed engage. And on a scale the order-givers can’t begin to fathom.

Sure, no one is saying it will be easy. It’s NEVER advisable to underestimate the enemy, and they WILL do miserable things - like they did in Hungary by making wives beg their husbands and sons not to resist in the 1950s.

War is a bitch. And they’ll be made to feel that bitch every bit as much as they intend to do to us.

Then the next Republican president will need to declare a national emergency and outlaw socialists and socialist parties.

Ah the slippery slope. Well Nancy, “one day” President Trump might declare infanticide an “emergency” and ban than.

I’m starting to like Nancy. She’s like the star player of an opposing team that keeps landing the ball across the wrong goal line. You Go Nancy...

Seriously. I wonder how many Dem votes will be swayed away because of her and her ilk. Now Cortez is cheering because 25,000 potential jobs AND taxes wont bless her state of NY. Yep...keep it up. The (better) people will fix you.

“...Just understand that some good people will turn them in....”

No doubt. And then there’s the Good People that will turn in a few “surrender pieces” - those who smart enough to NOT keep everything at home.

And then there are a lot more Good People will use them for their intended purpose - A LOT of people with really, really scary skillsets, recent experience in 4G warfare, and with a serious hard-on for their own Liberty.

“...I get tired of the ‘shoot them on my doorstep’ responses....”

You will get those responses - it’s normal. People get angry. When you’re angry, you respond. Poking and prodding people won’t help.

Like I said; don’t start a war, won’t BE a war. But if they feel froggy - and they do - they’ll be seriously disillusioned at the sh*tstorm they will receive.

Will it be bad? Of course it will. Read “One Year In Hell” by Selco. That’s how bad it will be.

If she thinks there’s a “gun violence” problem now, she’s dreaming. She has no clue the catastrophe she’s courting.

Most gun owners nationwide don’t give a damn about the 2A. Most think bump stocks are evil and that black rifles should be banned.

2A supporters have enemies in front of them and their “allies” behind them can’t be trusted.

Whee mymymy! Listen to Pelosi make remarks about illusions....this POTUS has her number...it is Pelosi who caused this crisis by not protecting her nation as she swore to do....maybe it is the sewer that was once San Francisco that she tolerates, a gleaming city, well not any more...Pelosi is partly to blame for her disdain for our Constitution and what it stands for and her strong Socialist/Marxist bent...Nan is power hungry in the Clinton manner...

What does it take to arrest the speaker for sedition?

Amending the Constitution to repeal the First Amendment and the Speech and Debate Clause.
