As I keep pointing out, mass graves are harder to fill when the victims can shoot back....
It's all about disarming the law abiding so government can rule with an iron fist.
Let them win this issue without a physical fight and mass graves will be exactly what you have.

I agree with you on the issue that the left wants to disarm us so that they can implement a system antithetical to the values that we cherish. AND I agree that, in an abstract way, the left fears an uprising. But, then again, it is not an immediate fear.
Today, 10 percent of the states have outlawed high capacity magazines. What have we done about it? Trump banned bump stocks and that E.O. violated
THREE provisions of the Constitution. There are over
40,000 federal, state, county, and city laws, rules, statutes, regulations, ordinances, edicts, case laws, etc. governing firearms. If that isn't enough laws to say all the "
sensible" gun laws have already been passed, then there isn't a cow in the whole state of Texas.
In my time on discussion boards I've heard their arguments. I spent nearly four decades researching ways to reduce gun violence
without gun control to no avail. And one of the silliest arguments the NRA makes is that we should enforce the laws on the books. Stay with me for a moment:
Where I live, if you file a Petition for Divorce, the policy is that the petition will not be accepted without an accompanying
Mutual Restraining Order. Under federal law (the Lautenberg Amendment), you
cannot own a firearm if you are under a restraining order. Now, a Mutual Restraining is
not like a Temporary Restraining Order. It is perpetual. So, if you've ever gotten a divorce in this state, you can
NEVER own a firearm. The law is ignored because if the people were suddenly made aware of it, they would rebel. In those 40,000 plus laws, how many other laws are equally dangerous as the one I cited?
We need to be doing more than posting on these boards. We need to start meeting with friends and neighbors, face to face, and discuss these issues. We need to answer tough questions. At what point would you come to my property, weapon in hand, and be willing to lay down your life in defense of my Liberties? It is a rhetorical question you don't have to answer publicly. But, if we're going to "
fight back," we need to start discussing what it is, exactly we see as threats and then draw well defined lines in the sand so that all of us know when and how far to go in resisting tyranny and saying no to the gun banning socialists and communists.
