Like when they bust into the wrong house and some cop takes a shotgun blast to the face?

Or they burst into the ‘right’ house, but in plain clothes and without a warrant, and someone stands their ground or protects their castle or what have you against what they think is a home invasion.

It’s a tremendous erosion of the fourth amendment protections against search and seizure. And like other things, it’s starting with the easiest ‘other’ to demonize, and against whom people will be most forgiving of abuses.

The video of that student activist being picked up by ICE a little while ago seemed ripe for that sort of response, too: a bunch of random guys surrounding someone on the street feels like exactly the sort of scenario a number of US firearms owners worry about and arm themselves to respond to.

The NRA already forgot what it was apparently its reason to be.

Umm no

Dismayed by the lack of marksmanship shown by their troops, Union veterans Col. William C. Church and Gen. George Wingate formed the National Rifle Association in 1871. The primary goal of the association would be to "promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis," according to a magazine editorial written by Church.

After being granted a charter by the state of New York on November 17, 1871, the NRA was founded. Civil War Gen. Ambrose Burnside, who was also the former governor of Rhode Island and a U.S. senator, became the fledgling NRA's first president.

An important facet of the NRA's creation was the development of a practice ground. In 1872, with financial help from New York State, a site on Long Island, the Creed Farm, was purchased for the purpose of building a rifle range. Named Creedmoor, the range opened a year later, and it was there that the first annual matches were held.
 
Is it just me, or is the Trump administration just figuring out that it's a hell of a lot easier to start a war than to end one? Especially if you try to be an external party to the peace accord as a commercial partner (i.e. profit from the peace accord).
 
Oh geez... we had no idea.... colour us shocked ;)



Donald Trump has accused Vladimir Putin of stringing him along over Ukraine peace talks.

“There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days,” the US president posted on Truth Social on Saturday.

“It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along.”

Mr Trump’s comments come after he met Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky at the Vatican before the funeral of Pope Francis.

Any one noticed in the video of the Trump / Zelensky face to face at the Vatican that French president Macron shakes hand and embraces Zelensky warmly while cold shouldering Trump when he tried to shake hands with Macron? Definitely an intentional slight to Trump from the French diplomacy. I have a strange feeling that Trump will get more and more of this type of treatment on the international scene.

Let's see what happens in the UK for his State visit. While the King had no choice but issue the invitation, as he was advised by the Prime Minister to do so, he has sole discretion as to how warmly he receives the visitor and what topic he brings up in the private conversations. Lately, the king has been very much vocal as to the fact that he is the King of Canada and about his pride in Canadian sovereign accomplishments, and more often than none, in settings where he did not have to do so, and therefore was doing so of his own volition.

To be fair, the 'structure' that has been built that will have America benefit from the war was put in place before Trump's arrival in January
