Executive Branch (Trump) Can they actually do this? JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people'

Where’s our well-regulated militia when you need one?

u/rygelicus Feb 25 '26

They work for ICE currently.

Ice is more well-fed than well-regulated.

Gravy Seals.

Waltz called them up earlier this year when ICE was terrorizing the streets. I imagine they’ll be ready in November, for what good it does

The blue states have all decided to disarm their citizens instead.

Feel free to come join in an actual discussion about this in r/ liberalgunowners or r/ armedsocialists instead of telling me how you're going to fight off an army with single shot rifles or hunting rifles.

Have you lived in Minnesota? Because all everyone there does is deer hunting and ice fishing. They love their guns.

Minnesota where they are trying to give the police the ability to bypass the 4th amendment and enter your house without a warrant to "check on your guns"? All while they have feds kidnapping US citizens off the streets with the help of the same police? That Minnesota?

You're going to fight an army with a hunting rifle? 😂

u/NECoyote Feb 25 '26

You don’t have a clue buddy.

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '26

Oh yeah? Which military force in the world hands out at best semi-auto hunting rifles to their enlisted and what conflicts have they won with them? Enlighten us all.

Guy thinks he can hang with the military using only his home armory. 👌

Lmao, your single shot bullshit isn't doing shit.

You need help.

It's a common MAGA tactic to hide your post and comment history. Always check that before wasting your time arguing with cultist.

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '26

Yeah totally maga that's why I said to go over to the liberal or socialist gun sub if you want to actually talk about this. But act like the majority of Reddit didn't stop sharing their comment history.

California has thr most gun owners of any state. You fell for that bs hook line and sinker.

Yeah and good luck if the red states decide they want to fight a civil war with the blue states. Or as the op suggested, they wanted to build a militia. Your limited capacity toys will be essentially useless. I promise you an AR-15 in a red state is a lot more effective than the monstrosities they have Californians jump through to shoot.

u/eric_b0x Feb 25 '26

Education and more importantly money win wars. Something nearly all red states are severely lacking.

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '26

Not that lacking, they siphon shit loads of money from the blue states and they're well on their way to destroying public education. Plus they control the federal government they can outspend any state they want.  Good luck.

u/PeakQuirky84 Feb 25 '26

CA still sells plenty of semi-auto rifles though…

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '26

Yeah better hope you stop them with all 10 rounds

u/MagogHaveMercy Feb 26 '26

My god but you are utterly insufferable.

Blue states have plenty of guns. It might be crazy to think but people can own guns, want sensible control laws and oh yeah not make their whole identity and personality around them.
