He won't be coming for the guns. He'll loose his support. Some of the biggest supporters in the Austin area are gun nuts.

He's not your normal person. There isn't a playbook for this guy. And also too are any of you guys in the south lived in the south for the last 30 yrs? He has people's most wet dreams. He misses this there isn't a way of blaming Dems like they always do.

But he’s not coming for your weapons. He’s coming for their weapons. Fascists operate under the cover of fear playing us against them. It’s the same story over and over

Right it would be so that way this land can be One under Christ. So he would need the gun nuts help. He wants his family taken cared of. Like worshipped and all power going thru Trump as a fam. Doesn't work if the base doesn't see him how he wishes to be seen.

He wants his base to be armed because he is going to use them to round up liberal gun owners, just like he's using them as faux feds, right now.

He won’t need support at that point. Not from us peon voters anyway. No elections, no voters. His power will be consolidated and he won’t care what anyone thinks

Aaron’s right: if he comes for the guns, he loses his support. But he doesn’t need to: he call the resistance violent criminals, revoke our citizenship, say the constitution doesn’t apply to non-citizens, & take OUR guns. He’s been teeing this up for years & has all the backing he needs for it now.

It's wild that Trump's gun owner database, that ranks gun fanaticism, hasn't been talked about more. Not MAGA, not the NRA, not a single "nasty" question, for the clown.

No dictatorship allows citizens to be armed. A dictator doesn’t need support when he no longer needs votes and controls the military. It would be priceless to see the look on his supporters faces when that happens.

Yes because they will march for him Jan 6th all over again but for him. The true nutters are being left off the chain. These guys see him as one of theirs and if you screw them they will teach every generation to fuck with that family and the family will.

Support? Like that matters, once he's put troops in every state! He never intends on leaving office, anyway. You can absolutely count on this being his plan!...However, I really don't think his health is going to hold up until his plan fully sets onto place, luckily.

Like on J-6, he feels safe around his people when they have guns. Not going after those. But if you want to see some gun control, put them in the hands of black and brown people. Those guns would be “confiscated”in rapid fashion. And from way too many dead hands.
