I was going to say, there won't be a "when". Like most things, it's a gradual emergence and most people will miss it until one day they notice it. This is exactly how our culture got taken over. There wasn't a sudden change, it occurred over decades.

Yeah, because legalizing drugs is quite the show of rebellion now that the leftists have infiltrated government... That's why the house didn't just pass a bill saying the exact same thing.

They tried that in the South during the 1950s with "civil rights" and the feds came in and stomped them.

It'll happen with gun rights, militias, the pro-life, anti-trans, and homeschooling movements sooner or later too.

Or maybe when the fedgov passes more laws to control who owns farms and is allowed to grow food.

Sooner or later they're coming for the homesteaders, which they will call preppers or 'nationalists' or some other boogieman word in scare-quotes.

And they'll come after the homesteaders because its adjacent enough a move to just avoid a major backlash if they do it right. The kind of move that sets all the precedents the regime needs against 1. gun ownership, 2. self-sufficiency including small scale farming (if or when they choose to exercise that power down the line), 3. all the other groups I mentioned.

States bent to media pressure, so I guess they'll ignore the feds when the media tells them to.

Did you see what Texas did this year? Suppressors (made in Texas) are legal and it's illegal for Texas law enforcement to ask for the Feds to get involved in enforcement.

Every buba with a lathe has now machined their own suppressor. People are making them and giving them away just for kicks and giggles. :)
