Was doing some opposition research today and came across this on Biden’s website. This is the single most important issue this election and should be a massive redpill to anyone who is still on the fence about Trump.
I'm leaning towards this. I think I've redpilled a couple people, but if they aren't there now, they aren't going to make it home. Just distancing myself from them.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
I remember hearing this in church about marriages, and undoubtedly it's fantastic advice there. Head off all of the BIGGEST POSSIBLE FIGHTS by marrying someone who agrees with all the core things you believe.
But it totally is true about everything else. Don't try to be equal partners with people who will fight you every step of the way. You don't have to hate them or work against them, but just don't put them in a position where they will be holding the reins of whatever horse you're driving.
LISTEN TO THE PEDES IN THIS THREAD. I had to learn thr hard way, but it's true.
People will only change if they want to (sincerely, in their heart and soul), not because someone told them to. Generally it takes an earth shattering event (to them) for true fundamental change to take place.

I was single for decades and intended to stay that way until I die.
Then I started dating someone that was so great, I changed my mind. Got married.
It's funny how she's swung ME towards conservative policies.
For instance, five years ago, I was a full-on supporter of Open Borders. She advised that I do some research on it, so I got the Ann Coulter audiobook "Adios America" and had my mind blown by it.
My wife, and good friend never paid attention to politics because they thought it was pointless, boring, they were brainwashed, etc. I've been a Rush Limbaugh republican since a child. Anyway, both are in their Late 30's, and both are now hardcore Trump supporters with just some mild red pilling. This is prime time for sneaking in redpills. Especially talking about communism an its history and how it has failed in all aspects, over and over again and till this day. No one is happier under communism, and many die. Gun's are also a big deal in the age of Defund the Police. I am predicting a Mondale style soaking, and for the media to blame russia again. The twitter mob are practically marxist mind numb bots and don't really have that much support, though they do have some and they must be defeated via redpills to those who can be saved.

In 1979, the news had daily stories about all the crazy shit going on in Iran. George Bush made a deal with Iran, and the day that Reagan took office, Iran released the American hostages.
I think that Biden is going to win, and when he wins, the quarantine and the BLM protests will "spontaneously" end.
I think that they're doing this to condition people to vote Democrat. I think they want to "sear" it into people's brains that life absolutely sucks under Republican rule.
Of course, you and I both know that Covid and BLM are not something that Trump can control.
But they are going to create this association in people's brains, so that they vote Democrat fo-rev-er. It's almost a Pavlovian thing. In 2028 or 2040, people are still going to remember how utterly shitty 2020 was, and they're going to associate that shittiness with Trump - even though it's not his fault.
I saw something similar with my grandparents: the great depression scarred them, their behaviors were influenced by something that was 50 years in the past.
Freedom of speech, individual responsibility, and the free market. Private property, cultural icons of all shapes and sizes. On board for America and the people living there.
A lot of people discredit him as a lefty and don't know half of it. He's definitely among the silent majority, and keeps his voice loud and outspoken. One dude on his podcast is a walk away leftie that has been cancelled everywhere but Tim's platform. Don't listen to enemy propaganda, the people are with us.
This...when you talk to people who aren’t completely devoid of common sense you can tell the wheel is turning towards Trump. I use to argue why Trump is the only thing in the way of crazy shit coming to the US but ppl shrug it off but then things changed when I started asking them questions that eventually made them realize how everything the Dems are doing is completely not based on reality.
There are plenty of Democrats, Independents, and other "fence-sitter" types out there. It is time to start talking past the corporate narratives and to them directly. Tell them you are interested in learning their views and listen to them. Respond carefully and share your concerns fairly. Ask them to consider, ask them to reconsider, and do not allow corporate narratives to dominate your conversation.
Get into convictions and root issues, offer real solutions to liberal challenges. Promise a bright future and ask them to join you and a few other supporters for a greater discussion. Be the bipartisan bridge the MSM pretends they are.
Well, this is actually a common error. When you purchase a gun online, it will only be shipped to someone with a Federal Firearms License that allows them to sell it. The sale is recorded. The gun never gets to your door without you going to the store and showing ID, getting a background check ran, and picking it up in person (as well as paying a fee for that service).
I'm going to assume you're kinda new to the gun world based on your comment.
First, the term "assault-type" weapon is mostly used to scare the public into thinking it's a super scary gun that will attack people. They are rifles. Assault rifle is a very specific firearm:
a rapid-fire, magazine-fed automatic rifle designed for infantry use
Civilians cannot own automatic firearms without jumping through very difficult and expensive hoops.
Second, buying online is no different than buying in person. The lower receiver is what is defined as the "gun" and you still have to pass a background check and get it sent to an FFL dealer in order to actually receive it.
So before you suggest more regulation, maybe look at what is already out there. One of the reasons we have some of the absolutely stupid laws that we currently do is because a large number of the population is completely ignorant on the subject and have never bothered to exercise their 2A rights.
Another thing we need to be doing is taking all of our friends shooting. I'm investing in a new 4x4 and some really great outdoor cookware. So, the opposite of what you're saying.
We should also be working towards getting sport shooting back into schools and teach firearms safety along with proper scouting again.
Before this we probably need to dig our heels in very deep on forcing the left to reconcile criminals with the crimes they commit and the policies our system has which creates, enables, or tolerates them.
Not officially, but like many of us he seems in the silent majority category. The Timcast has a guy that's been cancelled for supporting Trump, says a lot if you ask me. Quite frankly after all of this bullshit, I appreciate a truly neutral and unbiased view.
It wouldn’t be a “roll of the dice”. No gamble at all. You do realize if there was a civil war 2.0 it would be over quicker than Grenada? We’d walk over them dems
It's not the cucks giving orders that would participate. It's the real human soldiers who would. I'd be surprised to see any less than 75% or orders to suppress or fire on American citizens be ignored or disobeyed outright.
The 2A shouldn’t be partisan. Moron Democrats have pushed their gun agenda card too far. I’ll never be voting for a party that will restrict the 2A, at all.
I’m a California Republican but I grew up socially Liberal.
What woke me up politically was the 2A process of buying a firearm in California. Before that, even though I was Pro-2A, I stupidly supported “reasonable common sense restrictions” on firearms.
And the fact that I couldn’t buy either of my dream guns (Barrett .50 Cal and KAC SR25) just because some politicians thought they were “scary,” was bullshit.
Now I want every single anti-2A law right off the books. Constitutional 50 State Carry. Machine guns. Suppressors. All of it.
The funny thing was hearing lib people I know bitch about how ridiculous getting a gun is. They're buying them after seeing all the riot stuff going on. "It takes too long" "it's so much paperwork" "why is it so complicated?"
So fucking dense. I'm sure they'll leave whatever state they're in after it's destroyed and keep voting the same way too.
I give zero leniency on 2A. I’m glad guys like Dan Crenshaw show their hand before they rise to the level of prominence to contest for POTUS. Even Trump made some flippant remarks about gun control some time back and he would have been immediately written off for me. (Naturally it was just usual Trump rambling, but he knows 2A is not a hill to die on with his base...)
PotUS is a NYC liberal (in the classic, good sense of the word. He believes in Liberty). As such, he is not as safe around 2A as I would like, but he is orders of magnitude better tan any Democrat.
You just got my attention. This POS is now directly threatening my livelihood. About half my income is from firearm restoration and refinishing and most of what I require is bought via the internet since so much of it cannot be obtained through commercial distribution channels.
All they’re doing is making honest hard working people like myself defacto-felons like with the bullshit laws Kalifornia enacted on AR-15 owners, especially those of us with 80%’ers. The constitution prohibits all ex-post-facto laws which is why everyone I know refuse to submit to their mandatory registration of 80% lowers and confiscation of legally owned high cap magazines.
The recent riots which came within 2 miles from my home reinforced my resolve in refusing to abide by such illegal and unconstitutional bullshit. Molon Labe.
The internet is also vital to the economic future. Being unable to buy gun-parts or ammo online would be a massive drawback in our ability to find equipment, get competitive prices, reviews, or even innovation.
And by innovation I mean stuff like this, which I'd have to imagine wouldn't even exist without online sales.
Regardless of his proposed restrictions, 95% of them wouldn't really have much impact on someone who wanted to go shoot up a place, other than make it more expensive.
I'm not even sure why his campaign is pushing this. Was there some school shooter that bought ammo online or some shit? Does his campaign understand online gun purchases still have background checks and have to be shipped to a federally licensed agent and not directly to peoples homes?

I disagree. At this point, nothing will save you if you don't support Trump. Even Tim Pool is on board.
EDIT: To the people doubting or unaware of new Tim since the riots started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y39ZTTWuz2c

Yeah, I've been watching Tim since the Kavanaugh hearings. I think Tim is legit, however, restricted in what he can say, due to YouTube censorship.
Does not hurt have a good app?

Not officially, but like many of us he seems in the silent majority category. The Timcast has a guy that's been cancelled for supporting Trump, says a lot if you ask me. Quite frankly after all of this bullshit, I appreciate a truly neutral and unbiased view.
The only thing that keeps it from being necessary is the 2A itself
It wouldn’t be a “roll of the dice”. No gamble at all. You do realize if there was a civil war 2.0 it would be over quicker than Grenada? We’d walk over them dems
Our country would be attacked by other countries.
It's misguided, naive and unrealistic to think that it would just be a left vs right civil war.
Would we win? Most likely. But at significant cost; our country would be desolated in a lot of places for sure.
The left has no problem asking foreign powers for help to quell people they disagree with.
I agree that we would. The downside would be that the dems would call for foreign intervention. They'd probably try inviting Chyna to join in.
It depends what the US military does too. And with all the cucks in high positions who knows anymore.
It's not the cucks giving orders that would participate. It's the real human soldiers who would. I'd be surprised to see any less than 75% or orders to suppress or fire on American citizens be ignored or disobeyed outright.
The problem is that globalists would take the opportunity to ally with them.
The 2nd Amendment is there to protect the 1st Amendment.
For me the 2A is my #1 issue as well.
The 2A shouldn’t be partisan. Moron Democrats have pushed their gun agenda card too far. I’ll never be voting for a party that will restrict the 2A, at all.
More Democrats have bought guns in the last few months than ever before.
Now they want to support a guy who would get rid of them?
These people are idiots.

Unless those people cease to be democrats, you'd be right.
Now they're attacking the 1A hard too.
