thread on actual for real governmental attacks on constitutional liberties

To remove the invading army I understand it won’t be pretty. There is no way this would be clean.
Won’t be pretty in this case meaning infringing on the right to bear arms. We can do gun control for deportations but not for school shootings or 40,000+ annual firearm-related deaths? I’m not an anti-2A guy to begin with, but I don’t know how I can square this logic.

Yes - it won’t be pretty.

I believe we are the righteous side and will peacefully maintain society after the task is done
 
@thethe If we decided to peacefully maintain society by forcibly removing all Muslims from the country, would you object. How about trans people or gay people? Or socialists?
 
She happens to be right, but I’m also having a hard time accepting some of the rather adamantly anti-gun left wade into the 2A argument instead of just focusing on use of lethal force. If you think we need tight gun control, it seems incongruent to defend him bringing a gun to a protest.
It's also incongruent to all the people who defended Kyle Rittenhouse to be condemning this Veteran who was carrying a sidearm.
 
Not so long ago, Ammon Bundy was the most famous right-wing militia leader in America. His two armed standoffs with federal agents had made him the face of the Patriot Movement: a loose assemblage of anti-government extremists, Second Amendment maximalists, and more than a few white nationalists. Even some mainstream elements of the Republican Party embraced him as a modern folk hero. But Bundy’s criticism of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown now threatens to make him a pariah within his own community.

In November, Bundy self-published a long essay titled “The Stranger,” in which he labeled the Trump administration’s treatment of undocumented immigrants a “moral failure.” “To call such people criminals for lacking official permission” to be in the country, he wrote, “is to forget the moral law of God, the historical truth of our own founding, and the Constitutional ideals that continue to define justice.” On a recent livestream following the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota, Bundy told his audience that ICE’s conduct “clearly looks like tyranny.” If the government threatened his family, he said, he would fight back by whatever means necessary.
