Trump has shown that he doesn’t care about the constitution by violating the 5th and 14th amendments, and he’s toying with the idea of violating the 22nd and MAGA so far has been complicit. Do you think they might say something if he comes for the guns?
Maybe if he came straight at it, his people would object. If he was going to do that, it probably would’ve been after the assassination attempt. So it feels highly unlikely. But he’s got some options.
Option 1: “Folks, we need you to donate your guns to the police. They’re so underfunded/under attack, they need as much help as they can get.” And I bet a lot of people would do it. Now, would it be ALL the guns they own? Probably not. But they’d be giving them up voluntarily.
Option 2: He targets a specific group that conservatives hate, and claims he’ll only take guns from them. “We’re only going to take the guns from the ____________ (illegals/terrorists/minorities/atheists/jews/liberals), not you good folks.” The cops proceed to confiscate (steal) them from anyone they happen across, including people who voted for Trump.
Who would refuse to accept that it was happening until it happened to them specifically.
