This is what’s known as “Opportunity.”

Where is the tech entrepreneur who will exploit and cause the next great conservative breakthrough.

Sad that social media is not impartial.

The so-called “news” media and the so-called “entertainment” industry are dominated by pinkos and perverts.

It has been the SCUTUS that has always protected the second amendment. It has never been the politicians.

this is all anybody needs to know is that the 2nd is the only reason the DS hasn't yet moved against PDJT.

Or against anybody who voted for PDJT. They hate each & every one of us. But we’ve got the 2nd, our guns, and the will I hope to defend our freedoms if absolutely necessary.

Notice how DS & their minions look upon Australia with green envy when it comes to gun control? Didn’t Hellary wish from the heart of her bottom that Oz-style confiscations could be done here?

There is a threat, though, and that’s GVRO’s which are already biting innocent gun owners with raids & confiscations. State & local fascism is what they are.

Back on topic, listen to the hate-filled tweets of John Brennan against Pres. Trump; they’re aimed at you. Don’t think for a second that Brennan wouldn’t like to wreak revenge on flyover country for rejecting the Hildabitch.

Rebellion against Amendment II of the Constitution is a serious matter.

“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”

United States Constitution, Amendment XIV, SECTION 3.

The members of the Florida Legislature who approved the recent gun bill and the Governor of Florida could legally be barred from public office for infringing Amendment II.

Any infringement of the right of the People to bear arms legally means disbarment from domestic government office (and probably the pensions too).

Any judge that refuses disbarment becomes in rebellion against Amendment II and the Constitution.

Will the leftist Supreme Court justices refuse to remove a rebel from office and become subject to removal by a 5 to 4 court, giving Trump the power to make it a 9 to 0 Supreme Court?

Absolutely not.

I suggest the Congress have a vote on removing the disability of the Florida rebels.

Will Congressional Democrats like Pelosi reinstate the Florida rebels?

Best to find out now.

And make sure no Republican elector is a rebel too!

The Democrats will stop at nothing to regain the Presidency, including tossing out the votes of rebel electors.

Not likely when most social media users are liberals.

For those old timers out there, it was worse after the murder of Bobby Kennedy back in 1968. A media led national Hysteria campaign against “gun violence”.

It's not just Hillary who wants gun confiscation, her rapist husband wants it too. Every freeper knows that guns help women defend against rapists. Suppose Juanita Broaderrick had a gun with her when Bill did his thing

I think we may need to start back ground checks on all members of the press and entertainment industries. If they do not pass they they can’t have access to TV, Film, radio, press of internet. Seriously consider this liberals. Think about Pelosi, Hillary, Rosie, etc.

The reluctance to embrace social media profoundly handicaps the ability to spread conservatism.

You get your message out on Twitter and Facebook, not by yelling at clouds. If Twitter and Facebook block you, you overwhelm them and fight back.

For every FReeper's post on Free Republic, they ought to be posting ten times as many on mainstream social media sites.

What rapist Bill Clinton needed on that night in 1978 was a .38 caliber vasectomy.

And he had the nerve to give the death stare to Juanita Broaddrick during the second Presidential debate.

Hope he sees the gates of Hell yawning open soon.

IIRC the modern push for gun control began even earlier in 1963, following the JFK assassination. I was 15 & Lyndon Johnson was already railing against “mail order murder”.

That's how they have operated, every single time they've attempted a Leftist takeover, for over a century. Their playbook has not changed one iota. They beguile the poor with empty promises, they blame the rich and powerful, and seek control to entrench themselves even more that those currently in power. They instigate an event to spark widespread violence. They take control, and then round up and murder all the "undesirables" who dared to oppose their rise to power. That's why nobody blinks when Hillary calls 1/4 of the nation "Deplorable" human beings. It is simply the process of dehumanizing the opposition, so that their followers can stand idly by, or even participate, in the widespread massacre that inevitably follows their conquests (if successful).
