Well, lookee here, according to the story below, we have a uniformly garbed, masked, American flag carrying group of 150-200 presumably white men calling themselves the Texas-based “Patriot Front” arriving by METRO, marching around D.C. for a reported couple of hours, a speech was delivered at Union Square across from the White House and, then, the group headed back to METRO–all this with a police escorts.

This on the same day as Biden was telling Howard University students that …” the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is “white supremacy.”

What a coinkidink.

It would seem that this is a pretty sorry and transparent attempt at political theater, designed to prove Biden right and/or to stage a provocation.

Chases, I was looking to be as conservative as possible. That’s why I left out all the other types. There innumerable pre-war Enfields and Springfields around on nobody’s books. From “chrome”, 800 yards, iron sights, darn scary.
Run my math against all long guns. Then add pistols.

Abraham Franklin:

If the number of people voting for the right was overwhelming, the left would not be able to win by cheating or rigging or whatever is happening. I am convinced that many many many more people would be voting for the right but for the very successful demonization process that has caused them to feel they cannot possibly go over to the Dark Side.

Richard Aubrey,
That 20 million number is an old number. The truth is people have been building their own off books since the ban ended in 2004 if not before. Now they are 3-d printing them and Glocks and all kinds of unique designs.

Some years ago, I used to work with a guy that had enough I think to put his own rifle squad in the field. I once asked why so many. His answer: “Because I like them and when the time comes, Arm Thy Neighbor.”

I keep thinking I’ve mislaid a zero here;

It’s said that there are roughly twenty million AR-style weapon legally owned. Let’s say some guys own two. So we have fifteen million guys owning one or more of the most notorious people killers since the H bomb.

If one one-hundredth of one percent of them want to put up a fight, that’s fifteen hundred gun fights.

Is that right? Maybe it’s one one-thousandth of one percent making it one hundred fifty gun fights.

And that’s restricted to owners of one type of weapon.

“I believe the left will stay in power because the right has become so demonized”

I believe the left will stay in power because it has corrupted our election processes.

From Abraxas (above):“but when the two parties become so ideologically polarized, moderation is difficult.”

Any correction becomes even more difficult when the two parties become ideologically unified.

Maybe wishful thinking on VDH’s part but could or not happen.
Been a while since I read about the French Revolution but my impression is who’s head was about to roll and it was just who struck first. Certainly a few things, Bud Light for 1, maybe it’s the underside of the iceberg finally tipping the top over

@ abraxas The irony perhaps, is that Biden was intended to be a pivot away from Bernie Sanders and the left.

Don’t think so. He always was a flashy fishing lure, intended to convince VOTERS of that ‘pivot’ away from the left, with an extra prize of slapping down that horrible Trump.

Those who controlled the fishing pole, and called the shots and raked in vast lefty-technocrat dough and jiggered the 2020 elections countrywide, knew they could puppetize Joe Biden and administer government agencies and most of Congress from the far left. As they have done and are doing – just check Afghanistan for surrenders, and our Southern border for invasions, and Washington for sniggering acquiescence.

Just reread my post. I’m sure Robespierre recognized it as a threat. Just not an insult.
