        Nah, we need to educate non-gun owning people that this is what the second amendment is about.

        Do you know why the civil Rights act got passed in the first place?
        It wasn’t because of Martin Luther King’s peaceful speech. It was because Malcolm x and the Black panthers started up buying up guns en mass.
        If all who oppose Trump came together and started arming themselves, one of two things would happen.

        1. They institute stricter gun regulations and they piss off their own base and lose support.

        Or
        2) they start changing policies.

      Except when we elevate bipartisanship above good governance. If a bill is going to make life worse for Americans then don’t put your name on it. I’d be happy without a single Democratic “yea” in the next 2-4 years.
