I think it’s time for a thought experiment.

Let’s say Congress takes action. Now, I hear you, quit laughing. It’s possible right? That Congress could actually take action? I mean more than just investigating Hillary. For this thought experiment we are going to assume that they actually take action on guns.

For this experiment I must take you a year into the future.

In the last year there have been multiple mass shootings in places like malls and other vulnerable areas killing hundreds of Americans. There have also been multiple attacks on police officers and many officers have been lost. The American people had had enough. They came together and demanded action. Congress finally acted. They passed sweeping gun legislation that banned certain types of weapons from being sold and also called for certain weapons to be taken out of circulation. Both the House and the Senate pass the bill and the President signs off on the bill to make it law.

As you can imagine there was one group in particular that was very upset by this. The NRA called on its members to protest. Law suits were filed and the law went through the courts up to the Supreme Court.

My first question is would this be something that finally gets you to protest something? Would you take part in marches and rallies to try and make your voice heard?

The Supreme Court upholds the law. Stating that it doesn’t violate your second amendment rights because you can still bear arms. You just can’t bear any arms you would like.

So the last road block has been pushed aside and enforcement of the law starts. People are told to turn in their weapons and they would be compensated for doing so.

Do you turn in your weapons and get compensated?

To make sure that all weapons have been turned in the police are sent around to make sure that every household has complied with the law. They have been instructed to use force if necessary to get the weapons.

As the police arrive at your home do you comply with the law? Do you allow them to look and make sure that you have given them all illegal guns? Or do you resist? Do you abide by the law or are you going to fight for what you see as your second amendment right?

Going from conversations I’ve had with my friends I would guess resistance. Many, many of my friends have simply said “from my cold dead hands”.

So you resist. The cops have no choice but to use force. You lock yourself in your house and open fire on any officer that comes to take your guns.

And now the most important questions of all. At this point would you still “Back the Blue”?

Would you still think “Blue Lives Matter”?

Well, would you?
