When actions like this are taken, the tone of the response is very important.
People are motivated by fear.

That motivation can easily be used to turn herds in any direction.
2020 is evidence of that.

Yes, she is acting like a dictator.
But she doesn’t actually have the power to back it, unless people willingly submit.

It is important to frame this as an act of desperation, because they are losing.
Any time anybody rants concerning it, make sure to include that bit.

Tyrants losing power are always dangerous, but it is important to emphasize that they are losing.
That way, fear motivates people to be careful rather than submissive.

Take from them the power of fear.
Frame all of their actions as signs of weakness.


Hearts and minds.

Couldn’t have said it better!

When the “Revolution goes ‘live’, the people I worry about don’t scare me”

Just who, exactly, does this twat-waddle think is going to enforce her little tyrannical rules? Just what segment of the population will actually confiscate the guns? Just how exactly does she think this ends?

The answers are simple. She doesn’t think it will go that far. Hell, I doubt she’s actually thought about that at all…….

There are precisely 2 defining characteristics of a true American:

1) An American will give the shirt off his back to help people in need. We have literally buried our Fallen Soldiers on other people’s ground so we could free them from tyranny.

2) An American will tell anyone to Fuck Off who tries to rule us.

Oops

Swinging on Grateful Citizen's trapeze...
In addition to the previous squishy remarks of the County Sheriff:

Quote:
Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman, who once served as a Democratic party leader and was appointed by Lujan Grisham, on Saturday joined Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller and Police Chief Harold Medina saying they wouldn’t enforce the order.

“As an officer of the court, I cannot and will not enforce something that is clearly unconstitutional,” said Bregman, the top prosecutor in the Albuquerque area. “This office will continue to focus on criminals of any age that use guns in the commission of a crime.”


Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen said he was uneasy about how gun owners might respond.

“I am wary of placing my deputies in positions that could lead to civil liability conflicts,” Allen said, “as well as the potential risks posed by prohibiting law-abiding citizens from their constitutional right to self-defense.”

Tyrants and Dictators will break the law(s) when there's an emergency;
They'll also create emergencies so they can break the law(s).

Never give an order you know won’t be obeyed.
