Rep. Jamie Raskin said it best, “American carnage is Donald Trump’s true legacy.”
There is a political stability rating system modeled by the CIA and experts, that rates unstable countries like North Korea and Saudi Arabia a Negative 10, and stable countries like Denmark and Switzerland a Positive 10. The U.S. has always been a Positive 10, until now. The U.S. was briefly downgraded to a 5, is now an 8, but still not back to a positive 10. The system also examines reasons, such as if a political party is based on identity. Anyone who believes Donald Trump’s base isn’t white supremacy, hasn’t been paying attention. Groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers marched on our Capitol carrying Trump flags. It is finally coming to light that some were carrying guns, but according to their “rules,” they avoided engaging the US military at all costs so they did not use them, even if they were hoping to do so.
This isn’t over. The armed militias are still out there and I suggest you read this article to understand their plan of attack.

Analysis conducted through a lens of hatred for the other tribe looks foolish from the perspective of history. There have been many times in recent history we have been closer to trouble.
Oh, and gun registry greatly increases the risk of armed insurrection. When you put people in a use-it-or-lose-it situation, you are inviting them to use it.

Are you saying that if guns need to be registered you will run out and shoot the mailman? It sounds like registration gives you the right to kill fellow Americans.

In addition for calls to not accept Trump’s Florida electors, Democrats spent the next three years trying to obstruct and remove Trump with a parade of frauds.
No, unless the postman tries to disarm me, he is safe. But registration makes confiscation at least appear possible, and an attempt at confiscation is a use it or lose it situation.

You are getting worse every day as the noose tightens around the neck of the criminal you love. Easier to make a jackass out of yourself than admit you were conned, I suppose.
So, if not the postman, who is the threat directed against? Let’s say a law is passed to establish a national registry of handguns and assault rifles. A government agent comes to your house to ask if you still own the guns you had previously bought according to records they already have. Gonna murder her for asking such a question?

Obstruction of justice, extortion of a head of state, withholding Congressionally mandated funding, were all frauds that Trump paraded himself. And long before 1/6.
So you were inadvertently correct. Remove Trump with his parade of frauds.
Now about the “calls not to accept electors from Florida”. Was the statehouse attacked? No. We’re a bogus slate of electors forged and submitted? No. How about a plan to seize voting machines. No, again. How about extorting the Florida election officials to find votes. Darn, no again.
Perhaps an effort to get some electors to vote for someone other than Trump. It worked in Texas, they had two “faithless electors”, but they did not vote for Clinton. Was that illegal or just politics?

Funny, I don’t recall armed insurrectionists storming the Capitol or Obama (or Clinton) calling out to “leftist” mobs to stand back and stand by”.
What I DO recall is Joe Biden declaring DJT the winner of the Electoral College and Barak Obama attending the inauguration of a man who said he wasn’t really a legitimate President because he was not born a citizen.
Obstruction? Seriously? You want obstruction, look to the McConnel led GOP and Joe Manchin. As far as fraud goes, the Impeachments were not frauds. What was a fraud was the GOP NOT finding guilt when all of the evidence proved it.
You sure do have a funny way of remembering facts./

“But registration makes confiscation at least appear possible, and an attempt at confiscation is a use it or lose it situation.”
Let me see if I understand. Because registration could APPEAR to lead to possible confiscation gun owners would start killing people before the guns might be removed. So now they can use them instead of losing them.
At least you acknowledge that registration doesn’t lead directly to confiscation. It just appears that it might.
But then we have the “use it it lose it” logic.
We are using them to kill 45,000 of us each year. What more do you want?

Without registration, if I become concerned that the government might try to confiscate private arms, I can bury(in appropriate containers) all but a token sample where they won’t be found. That way, I can wait and see if tyranny is coming or not before taking action.
But if the government knows what I have, and they come to the house and I can’t produce them then who knows what action they might take, That’s a use it or lose it bind.
So, registration makes violence more likely.
