Looks like this could be what a gun national emergency could look like:

Ban the sale, transfer, or gifting of any firearm until a national registry of every firearm in the country can be established

Ban any and all open or concealed carry by any person not on duty as a licensed police officer while the emergency is going on

Seize all records of every gun dealer and gun range in the country

Sure, there would be a few Cliven Bundy's. Not that hard to deal with them. Start an insurrection and they'll fare no differently than others that have tried.

The President has been given extraordinary powers with the understanding that they will not be used to enact that which they cannot do without the support of the government or only in extreme cases. The border issue doesn't rise to that level. But hey, if you guys want to expand Presidential power....go ahead. But don't cry when the Dems take that power and enact gun control right after the first mass shooting of a Dem Administration.

There will be more than a few.

Ever heard of Oath Keepers?

Again, if a terrorist group wants to try and ignore the American government, they're free to attempt to do so. But understand this, the MAJORITY in this country has no patience for right wingers who wish to use firearms to bully them.

If its legal for Trump to declare an emergency over the wall, it will be just as legal for President Sharrod Brown to do so on guns. And it will be treason for you to openly advocate for armed resistence to that legal order.

The "American government" is bound by the Constitution. If the people who are in positions of leadership begin to act not only outside the authority of the Constitution but in direct opposition to it, then true Patriots will "keep their oath" to the Constitution.


You have a warped view of who the "terrorist" is in that scenario.
