48. Did you ever have any doubt?

Even before this interview? Cause I didn't. If it's not our military doing it, it will be trumpy's brownshirts of militia. Which is something else that needs to be outlawed and all disbanded once we get our country back. The United States is (was) a first world nation with a functioning military. It no longer needs "militias" to defend itself. And, if you think they're suppose to only be for the states to use in emergency, that's what the National Guard are for. But then, I'd pull back gun rights to try to limit the number of murders and accidental deaths we have via their proliferate use. I'd love to have them outlawed, but then only outlaws would have them, right? /snark

I always get an adrenaline rush (and not the good kind) when we start talking about guns and shooting civilians. I know, deep in my gut, it's gonna happen. And I dread it with all I have. We lost so many during the first Civil War, and that was even with clear delineators of Blue and Grey. Today, we're all mixed up in each other's states and cities. There would be no clear lines. But if you have hogsbreath ordering his troops to fire, the civilians aren't just going to stand there and take it. (sigh)
