In reply to the discussion: Fox News is reporting that Republicans are considering cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. [View all]Dan
(4,181 posts)52. The only way that I will believe that story is true, will be
If Congress/POTUS/SCOTUS come after the guns and gun ownership. Theyll have to come after the guns first - because there are a shitload of people that only have one of those social programs funding to live on. If you have nothing, then you have nothing to lose.
There wouldnt be a safe place in America for a politician regardless of party.
There wouldnt be a place that a rich man could call safe outside of his mansion with Cartel like security.
They would have to shut down the public access to Congress/White House and the Supreme Court - because I think that we would also start to have suicide bombers; people setting themselves on fire in public to protest;; and finally the Lone Assassin multiplied by hundreds.
IMO.
