Future generations will ask why Americans didn't resist when the US became a police state.

Because it happened so slowly. Who is there to shoot? Who is there to place the blame? The people we keep electing were chosen by us. We elect someone different, there's hope, things calm down, then speed right back along without any progress being made.

This law would be too fast. Too many people would be arrested. Public outcry. Angry citizens. This would cause riots. This would cause rebellion.

This law was proposed to gauge our response. To see how we would react to such an extreme idea.

This country isn't Canada, England, or Australia, and I sincerely hope the politicians realize this. None of those countries with their anti-speech laws have large collections of weapons. I know people with small armories capable of supplying 100 people. Armored cars can be bought or made without a paper trail. What the rednecks lack in air-support they more than make up for with ethnic camouflage.

This isn't like the jap internment camps where we locked up anybody with weird eyes. America is a diverse place compared to the rest of the world. You have people who look completely different living next to each other as neighbors.

America is a country built on rebellion, created by a desire to be free, and a distinct distrust for those who command us to obey.

This law? This law is a test. It won't pass. It was never meant to. It's to see how we would respond to the idea of bending the knee and abandoning everything are forefathers died to uphold.
