    Trump doesn’t need to come after guns. It’s pretty obvious at this point that nobody is using them or ever will. Americans may talk tough about guns but they aren’t a threat to the fascists.

      I concur. Any portion of society that would have the will of resistance has been convinced that only fascists have guns therefore it’s the fascists that have all the guns.

        Basically all the leftists I know support gun ownership, there are many chapters of Socialist Rifle Associations and John Brown Gun Clubs across the country. Democrats talk about gun control but pretty much every demographic in the US loves guns still. They just aren’t sufficiently organized yet to be effective against this stuff, and most people still have a lot to lose that it’s hard to make the first serious acts of resistance.
