Johns Hopkins Says Gun-Control Will Prevent Second Civil War

Submitted by Gun Owners of America,

A new study published by Johns Hopkins own Bloomberg School for Public Health outlines the action items on the billionaire-funded gun control lobby’s wish list and makes the claim that those specific gun control provisions are crucial to stopping an armed insurrection in the United States.

The policy recommendations made by the study include regulating the public carry of firearms, prohibiting “paramilitary” activity, enacting unconstitutional red flag laws that remove due process, and finally (and maybe most sinisterly) repealing state-level preemption laws.

The study’s authors are all gun control lobby veterans. A quick glance at their LinkedIn pages revealed a work history within gun control groups before starting at Johns Hopkins.

In the study, the authors reference a study titled “Views of American Democracy and Society and Support for Political Violence.” Conducted in 2022, the study features a statistic that half (50.1%) of survey participants agreed that “in the next few years there will a be a civil war in the United States.” This statistic is featured prominently within the Johns Hopkins study.

The solutions proposed by the study are currently gun control priorities from the anti-gun lobby, particularly the repeal of state-level preemption laws. For those unfamiliar, state preemption laws say that local governments cannot impose regulations on firearms tighter than State law. This helps to stop a web of inconsistent laws in States where some counties may disagree with State law.

For example, take this recent case in Maryland, in Maryland Shall Issue Inc, et al v. Montgomery County, where the court threw out a local gun restriction because of Maryland’s preemption law.

But because local laws are easier to change than State law, gun control groups like Giffords and Everytown have sought out State lawmakers to convince them to overturn their preemption laws.

In 2021, Giffords convinced Colorado to overturn its state preemption law, which allowed the city of Boulder to pass its own assault weapons ban later.

In an article from governing.com about the overturn of the preemption law, Allison Anderman, senior counsel for the Giffords Law Center, was reported to have spoken with other states about overturning their laws and that the discussions were still “in the early stages.”

It seems as though gun control groups are so frustrated at not being able to pass laws through Congress that they’ve started looking to local jurisdictions to pass their legislative priorities. Interestingly, this strategy mirrors the Soros district-attorney campaigns.

Johns Hopkins’ study looks to increase the legitimacy of these preemption overturn policies and, therefore, make them more appealing to state lawmakers to pass.

Gun Owners of America stands ready to fight the anti-gun lobby, whether on the federal, state, or local level.

Oh Lord. Where to start?

A right to take up arms against the government has not been recognized by courts as a
protection within the Second Amendment and is incompatible with our democracy. As
evidenced by events like the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and the January 6th insurrection,
individuals deciding for themselves when democracy becomes “tyranny” jeopardizes lives
and the foundational civil liberties of free speech and fair elections necessary for democratic
governance.

Doesn’t need to be mediated by the courts, cuz it’s in our nation’s foundational document as a responsibility, not just a right. And not that we have a democracy, but the citizen body ousting a government that fails to represent their interests is democracy. Doesn’t matter by what means as “voting” is not the only form of democratic expression.

Also, for the ancient Athenians who invented the word, a tyrant is simply a ruler who gained power by means outside of the established law…such as illegally manipulating an election.

Lastly, this is no study. Go look at the linked report. It’s not even an academic document, just a policy recommendation…all the cited footnotes point to WaPo, NYT, CNN, Vox, etc. articles that do not source any objective fact themselves. It’s an echo chamber made to look academic.

It takes a special kind of highly educated stupid to ignore the fact that the attempt to seize arms , powder , cannon and stores from Lexington and Concord set Paul Revere on his ride and touched off the American Revolution , and the ass kicking that followed.

A couple of items:
All politics are local. All political action should start at the local level. Ask soros about how well that works.
There will not be a civil war before there is a revolutionary war. Grab your dictionary and look up the definition of each.
The civil war will begin immediately after the revolutionary war to prevent another world war.
Ask the British how well gun confiscation worked for them in 1776.

Practice practice and then practice some more, like your life depends on it.

Because it does.

All my old injuries are catching up to me now so when I get limited mobility in one area I adapt my training to accommodate. Can’t crouch and run, but I can quick walk and fire now, hitting an 8″ round steel about 75% of the time. That takes me to cover.

I have on my desktop some rotating backgrounds. James posted this one a while ago and I stole it. Fits me to a tee…

In these multitude of studies , surveys and think tank proposals to ultimately disarm the average American Citizen there is always an enormous void in their thought process.
The void is likely due to the echo chamber of like minded leftist individuals supporting each other’s ridiculous plans , proposals always starting with NO GUNS for what ever group they designate !
Please research history and show me any instances where citizens were disarmed and only government agents were armed and it did not ultimately end in a blood bath for those disarmed .
Like it or not the armed citizens are the ultimate veto to a tyrannical Government out of control !
The reason leftist are so determined to disarm Americans is because their plan to reduce the population by disease and starvation for their net zero great reset agenda has a major road block
THE FREE ARMED CITIZENS THAT HAVE TOLERATED THE LEFTIST BULL SHIT AND NOW ARE REFUSING ENDURE ANY MORE

Without even reading the post, the ones that are aware know that Johns Hopkins psychos were instrumental in the Event 201 that was held prior to the Coronahoax launching, back in 2019.
They were an instrumental part of the obedience narratives, so they have skin in the game.
So of course they would put up some garbage argument for gun control.

On a side note, a thought:
With the mass influx of fighting age men being paid by someone to infiltrate the lower 48,
remember that alphabet agencies with no business having guns have purchased stockpiles of weapons and ammunition reportedly. The IRS? check. The FDA? check. And more.

It occurred to me that the control freaks who hate the 2A and all of it’s advocates and gun owners, just might enlist the army of illegals, and quietly distribute weapons and ammunition when the Go signal is given. Maybe in the weeks after the November election results are declared by the nefarious pricks who orchestrate such things.
Because, regardless the election outcome, the losing ‘side’ will not accept the results, and the chaos will commence in earnest. Big cities might become war zones.

Note the recent video of a Nigerian who said he came here to fight, but would not specify
WHO he was recruited to fight against.
If / when the LEO’s and the military are unleased in a state of martial law declared under an EO, then it will be too late to escape to the country with your bug out bag, AR, and rounds.

” We should at least know the names of the UN/IOM communists who are organizing the white genocide replacement invasions of America and Europe.
The IOM is the UN’s International Organization for Migration, AKA the organization for the genocide of whites in America and Europe.
Please understand how the IOM, the WEF and the US State Dept are connected like Siamese triplets. They are one beast with three heads. More heads if you count the globalist corporate billionaire class who help fund the global replacement invasions, along with your tax dollars. ”

in the last century, it is ESTIMATED (the numbers are so high/accounting so haphazard everywhere that an exact number cannot be ascertained) weapons in the hands of governments killed between 350 – 500 million human beings. during that same time frame, not 1% of that number of people were killed by weapons in the hands of individuals.

conclusion: governments should be denied the use of weapons.

Structural fear and othering. The idle, parasitic class as expressed through the medical community’s own idle and parasitic class… And a community as wealthy and educated as the medical community has an enormously well developed and remunerated parasitic class.

The firearm as a projection of the phallus, the phallus as a projection of masculinity, masculinity as a projection of action, action as a projection of change and change, change is a structural fear. The firearm is possessed by the other, it is not a common accoutrement of individual members of the parasitic class.

To the parasite the host is the other. It is what the parasite consumes. Is the parasite aware that it is contributing to the demise of the host? If so, is it concerned? Or does it simply possess a structural fear of change as it senses the diminution of the host through its consumption of the host’s, the other’s, life essence?

“Johns Hopkins Says Gun-Control Will Prevent Second Civil War”

The gun control wanna be tyrants are not really concerned about the right starting another civil war. They are concerned that an armed citizenry will have the means to resist their planned tyranny. Tyrants intuitively sense that tyranny, once established, can only be overthrown through the force of arms.

“Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.”

James Madison

Starting in Obama’s first year, he purged the upper echelons of the military of all those loyal to the Constitution. The Biden Administration has renewed and accelerated that process. Doing its best to create a woke military, loyal only to the left’s ideology. We have long had an enslaved press. Once they’ve disarmed the public and installed a federal government controlled central bank digital currency with a social ‘credit’ system… ‘Troublemakers’ will be easily identified and with the click of the mouse, the troublemaker’s finances will be frozen. Just as Trudeau did in Canada when Canadian truckers refused to bend the knee and bow their heads in submission. No need then for armed enforcers. Get out of line and you won’t be able to pay your mortgage or pay rent or buy food. Of course, they’re not inhumane! So food and shelter will be available at the FEMA ‘reeducation’ camps. Sadly, those who refuse to be ‘educated’ will be sent to the Gulags. Where they can ‘voluntarily’ labor at public projects or make a ‘contribution’ to the nation’s supply of fertilizer.

Once people abandon their belief in being held accountable in an afterlife for their actions in this life… then the ‘worthiness’ of the end, justifies whatever the means needed to obtain that end. Thus as ever, is the ‘road to hell’ paved with ‘good’ intentions.

My leftist gun hating neighbor totally made the case for the 2nd amendment without realizing it last week when he said “If we sent all the ARs in the US to the Ukraine, Putin would be in big trouble.” He couldn’t understand the irony of what he said or why I was laughing so hard. Despite setting himself up for a blistering reprisal, I chose to take the high road and told him to carefully think about what he said and why Putin’s plans would be in trouble if the Ukrainian troops suddenly received about 50 million ARs.
