I would disagree, some chunks of the former US may remain strong regional powers, but I doubt any would preserve the force projection and industrial capabilities to remain a superpower.

Well duh, if the US breaks apart the individual pieces aren't going to maintain superpower status, regardless of if the MIC stays whole or not, and frankly I think it would be a net negative if it did make it through whole.

You say that like it would be a bad thing. The Military Industrial Complex is a cancer on our actual military. Consistently overcharging for substandard equipment, wasting millions to billions in boondoggle non-functional technology. Good riddance.

Thats when you just utilize the 2nd Amendment in full against any criminal and unconstitutional actions.

EDIT: In hindsight, I don't like the original tone of this post. It was insulting. I apologize battlegrinder, that was rude of me.

Well, I can't say the Andrew Jackson play was entirely unexpected. EDIT: On second thought, perhaps it isn't as bad as I'd first assumed.

I suppose if you have been hit with a Red Flag claim that would qualify as a reasonable suspicion that you have or are about to commit a crime, which is what is required before they can force you to identify yourself. That isn't really what I asked however, perhaps I have a misunderstanding, but...

Sure, but the firearms aren't there, and the accused has invoked their 5th and 6th Amendment rights. What can the police actually do at that point? Like, sure they can search the house/property, but they won't find anything and the 5th says the accused doesn't have to talk to them.

Question, with it looking like Red Flag laws are going to be implemented on a Federal level, what happens when someone hides their firearms and invokes their 5th and 6th Amendment rights when the police show up to unconstitutionally confiscate their firearms?

Jesus. This will create a chilling effect and firearm retailers will miss actual bad guys as they worry over minute bs like typos and commas. Hopefully, someone takes this to court.

Lots of talk from the Biden administration of raising the legal age to purchase a rifle from 18 to 21. Wonder if they are planning on raising the Draft age to 21 as well, or if they still plan to send 18 year olds off to die in some Biden boondoggle with a rifle they can't legally own in the...

Whats the context here?

You must not be in the states then, because those states where it has been legalized recreationally, and is being sold in stores, have regulated it heavily. Most of the grow houses in the US are owned by corporations who are heavily invested in the science of growing pot, producing better and...

You don't think the legalization of marijuana stops crime? I'm not saying you are wrong, but when you look at the obvious example of the repeal of prohibition, and making the manufacturing and sale of alcohol legal again, it did a number on the organized crime networks of the day. Wouldn't it...
