The American Firearms Coalition has just released an online poll of more than 20,000 gun owners conducted over the last 18 hours indicating that 65% of gun owners say they will not vote for President Trump if he signs “Red Flag Gun Confiscation” into law. The shocking poll numbers echo what many grassroots gun activists are seeing and hearing across the country.

While this is a good start, I believe Trump, knowing that elections are coming up and knowing how the system is supposed to work, is leaving it up to the STATES (10th Amendment); he has already "set the tone" among the states, while washing his own hands of what he instigated. Along with "red flag", another example: raising the age to 21, which states are doing.

It is imperative to contact your State Legislatures directly and let them know to OPPOSE raising the age and all red-flag "laws", statutes and ordinances.

Not surprised but this kind of damaging attitudes have been shaped over past couple of years. So disappointed in Steve Bannon and Coulter as they were some of the earliest conservatives to criticize MAGA's inner most leadership team just because he fumbled couple of times during Wall money-gov shutdown, DOMA, DACA dealmaking with Pelosi-Schumer.
They set the reckless trend of attacking the most populous POTUS in entire history. Since then it's been an avalanche of folks on the Right "turning on him (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?521272-How-much-trust-do-you-put-in-current-President-s-promises-and-statements&p=6831597&viewfull=1#post6831597)".

Another Republican Bows Down to Gun Control

https://bigleaguepolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Mike-Turner-Congress-1200x630.jpeg


Another Republican is kowtowing to gun control.

Mike Turner, the Congressman for Ohio’s 10th district, released a statement on his website where he advocated for legislation that “prevents the sale of military style weapons to civilians, a magazine limit, and red flag legislation.”

Turner declared that the “carnage these military style weapons are able to produce when available to the wrong people is intolerable.”

He has also jumped on the “red flag” bandwagon which is becoming widespread across the nation.

He stated:

We must pass red flag legislation to quickly identify people who are dangerous and remove their ability to harm others. Too often after mass shootings, we hear there were early warning signs that were ignored.

Turner is part of a growing coalition of Republicans led by Congressman Dan Crenshaw, Senator Lindsey Graham, and now, President Donald Trump, who believe that “red flag” gun confiscation orders will somehow fix this problem.

As the days go by, it seems that a bipartisan form of gun control is coming down the pipe.

This will likely be the toughest battle that gun rights supporters will be facing in recent years.

Voting is utterly irrelevant. Liberty has never been won by sticking marked-up pieces of paper into boxes - and it never will be.

There won't be any libertarian "revolution" (peaceful or otherwise) as long as people continue to play by the system's rules - for example, by voting for "liberty" (or for the right "someone," or for whatever) while continuing to comply with and submit to the system and the operation of its various cooptive, dissent-neutralizing and/or pressure-relieving "safety valves" (such as elections).

There won't be any libertarian "revolution" (peaceful or otherwise) unless and until enough people start refusing to submit and become willing to engage in active non-compliance against the system (instead of trying to play to it) - that is, unless and until people start "throwing the tea overboard" instead of continuing to pay for and drink it ...

Barring that condition, vote all you like, for whomever or whatever - but it will make absolutely no difference in any substantially libertarian sense.[1] It may produce some amount of social and political upheaval and chaos. It can (and demonstrably does) produce quite a bit of populist demagoguery (and anti-populist counter-demagoguery). It might even produce some degree of "shooting disturbance," so to speak. But irrespective of the outcomes of any elections, as long as enough people continue to accept and respect their product, they will not result in any meaningfully libertarian "revolution" ...



[1] Once possessed of it, states do not willingly relinquish any substantial amount of power (no matter how civilly they may be asked to do so by people who politely and compliantly mark up special pieces of paper designed for that purpose).

But this isn't math. There is no "exactly."

Things are too contingent for anything but general prescriptions. For example, note that I said, "There won't be any libertarian 'revolution' (peaceful or otherwise) unless and until enough people start [blah-blah-blah-ing]" [emphasis added]. I can't even tell you how many people will be "enough." No one can. There are too many other particulars that can and will vary from one time and/or place to another. Under one set of circumstances, even a majority might not be adequate, if it is too slight. But under other circumstances, less than a plurality might suffice. Hell, even just a relatively very few people might be "enough," if they are in the right positions at the right time and act in concert. It all depends ...

But playing the system's game by the system's rules (e.g., by voting) and then compliantly accepting and respecting the results will certainly fail to accomplish any substantial change of a libertarian nature ...

But voting can still be part of the solution, it can make the difference between the different sets of circumstances.

Not in any sufficiently reliable way that would allow for an endorsement of voting as an effective strategy.

Probabilities (of either occurrence or success) are not evenly distributed over the range of "sets of circumstances." For example, consider the last of the few "sets of circumstances" I briefly enumerated in my previous post. I was not suggesting that it was particularly likely. I was merely illustrating the fact that active non-compliance need not be "mass" in nature in order to be effective. Now, it could be that one or more of those persons "in the right positions at the right time" are in those positions at that time because some of them were elected. But it could also be because they were appointed after their predecessors were assassinated. But this would not serve as an endorsement of assassination as a general strategy. Likewise for endorsements of voting vis-à-vis the former scenario. And even apart from that, the scenario seems to warrant a general endorsement of voting no more than the possibility that one might strike it rich warrants a general endorsement of playing slot machines ...

But if he does this or anything else on guns then no point voting for him. A safer bet would be for MAGA to support the break-up of the US rather than support Trump.

One can only hope. If it was not for the bump stock ban I would say sure he is playing the game and will back off, that we will see allot more done on what he ran on but anything more proves it is just a sham Presidency.

If it is a sham Presidency it still does not matter how I or anyone voted or even if you just simply just sat home. It makes no difference. It is like a script playing out no matter the party, with the country always moving in the same direction.

But playing the system's game by the system's rules (e.g., by voting) and then compliantly accepting and respecting the results will certainly fail to accomplish any substantial change of a libertarian nature ...
Sorry, 'exactly' was a poor choice of words. What I meant was: what action would it take for more effective pushback? It sounds like what you are talking about are thoughts in this book I was looking at:

Citizen/Slave, “Understanding the American Sovereign Spirit” is a treatise that describes with acute accuracy what freedom, liberty and justice really means, how the American people have been tricked out of their sovereignty by stealthy legal illusions, and how the people can repair America by regaining control of their individual unalienable rights.

Citizen/Slave explains the problems in detail, how they evolved, how they became erroneously accepted by the people, what the legal illusions and realities are, and what the American people can do to save their individual sovereignty and country, thereby creating a totally free and prosperous society with safe guards that can never be corrupted again.

Sprinkled liberally throughout this book are quotes from numerous well-known personages from history which remind us of immutable principles that have been overlooked in our fast pace modern world.

Citizen/Slave puts together the pieces of the puzzle for understanding the long forgotten common sense principles of creating justice, and why governments and societies either succeed or fail. Without these organized foundational principles, like a boat without a rudder, societies and governments will waffle in the uncertain tides of confusion and injustice that has been the downfall of every great society.

Citizen/Slave is a “must read” for all people young and old, lay people and professionals, students and professors alike. Understanding the principles expounded in Citizen/Slave are as important to the freedoms, liberties and justice of people, as reading, writing and math is to functioning in the modern world. Citizen/Slave is a simple roadmap for catapulting society into the next step of human evolution

I'm reading through some of it now, and he discusses the dichotomy of state sovereignty vs laws that apply to the DC government only. Also, how many statutes are uncsontitutional and how most Americans should exercise noncompliance. Here are some page previews:
