'oppress' what people?
The fact is that the governor spent his time working to protect the people of the Virgin Islands- unlike a single one of the posters here at USMB.
How many guns were seized? Zero.
How many lying headlines by gun nuts on the internet? dozens- maybe hundreds
You know like the lying title of the thread?
Look at a small selection of these titles- every single one a lie by gun nuts- or those seeking to infuriate the gun nuts

Do you claim that the following are lies?
U.S. Virgin Islands Gov. Kenneth Mapp signed an emergency order allowing the seizure of private guns, ammunition, explosives and property the National Guard may need to respond to Hurricane Irma.
The governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands has ordered its national guard to seize guns, ammunition and other weapons from its citizens as the territory prepares for Hurricane Irma to make landfall.
The governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands has ordered the territory's national guard to begin seizing guns and ammunition from citizens in preparation for Hurricane Irma's landfall.
Yeah- these two parts are flat out lies
1) The governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands has ordered its national guard to seize guns, ammunition and other weapons from its citizens as the territory prepares for Hurricane Irma to make landfall.
The order authorized the National Guard to seize guns and ammo if necessary- never ordered the National Guard to seize anything- Pants on Fire lie- the NRA thanks you for your support.
2) The governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands has ordered the territory's national guard to begin seizing guns and ammunition from citizens in preparation for Hurricane Irma's landfall
The order authorized the National Guard to seize guns and ammo if necessary- never ordered the National Guard to seize anything- Pants on Fire lie- the NRA thanks you for your support.
What happened to? "U.S. Virgin Islands Gov. Kenneth Mapp signed an emergency order allowing the seizure of private guns, ammunition, explosives and property the National Guard may need to respond to Hurricane Irma."
Are you now ready to concede that that quote was not a lie and apologize for your slander or do you not consider your lies less important than those of others?
In the other two instances you are content to split hairs "authorize" "direct" and "order" have very similar meanings.
Your charge of lying is just an obvious attempt to spin tyranny. No matter what the NG did or didn't do in no way changes the fact that the Governor issued an unconstitutional (illegal and treasonous) order. Your defense of his act is an excellent example of why Americans should support the NRA.
There was no 'tyranny'- there was an order that authorized the National Guard to seize weapons if necessary. There was no order to seize guns from citizens. You posted three lines- two of which were lies- and I will be glad to post them again:
Yeah- these two parts are flat out lies- the only question is whether they are your lies- i.e. you posted them not knowing them to be false- or whether they are someone else's lies- but they are lies.

Not all speech is protected by the First Amendment. Despite the constant assurances by the conservatives who believe themselves to be self-taught constitutional scholars. there are limits to free speech. The Supreme Court has called the few exceptions to the 1st Amendment “well-defined and narrowly limited.” They include obscenity, defamation, fraud, incitement, true threats and speech integral to already criminal conduct.
As we've seen in recent events, the U.S. Nazi movement's vile hate speech IS obscene and includes strong elements of incitement. And with the encouragement of the Big Orange Idiot, violent clashes between the conservative Nazis and the progressive patriots who refuse to let such a cancer take root here in America's principled culture, are inevitable.

A reminder to conservatives and their hero, the Big Orange Idiot.
.
Calling people Nazis who are not is your own brand of hate speech, is it not?
I have no idea why you copied part of our exchange about the Virgin Islands into this thread.
