I remember when the argument used to be our founding fathers didn’t forsee weapons like modern machine guns and therefore wouldn’t have expected them to be owned by private individuals. Setting aside cannons and warships were owned by private individuals at the time; those that think SpaceX is Musk might want to consider his ballistic missile capabilities.
I also suspect this same Congressman applauds Ukraine’s use of drones against Russia without further thought to what it means to his other arguments.
One of the things mentioned is military fighting their own neighbors and family. While the useful idiots bragging about military power in the article won’t have a clue, the scum rising to the top of an authoritarian government will have a much better idea. My take: expect to see soldiers engaged in such shenanigans to come from other parts of the country, and probably opposite sides of the rural/urban divide.
The urban recruit from the east coast will be collecting firearms in Arizona while the rural recruit from Arizona will be doing the same in Baltimore. When that fails, then they’ll be hiring a lot of foreign mercenaries.
When it starts to matter where you’re from when you’re deployed in the US, then that will be another warning sign.

I wonder which other parts of the Constitution he considers obsolete.
You already know, all of them unless they are useful in the moment.
It isn’t that Democrats don’t believe in human rights, they just don’t believe non-Democrats are human.
Let’s put that dipshit Congressperson behind the console of an Apache gunship and see how far he/she gets.
Where do they think Apache jockeys come from? France?
While Larry’s articles (the linked site) are always worth reading, it should be noted that this one is from 2018.
Ah, well, I just ran across it on X. It’s aged well.

They might even bring in UN troops. Then it will be open season, no bag limit, on Blue Helmets.
