Be-careful here. . Next thing you know posting something critical of Israeli behaviour, gets you red flagged and they systematically disarm the Patriot Strength of the Nation.
But what Trump has proven is it's a lot more effective to have a counter-policy than no policy.
Examples?
Operation Warp Speed. Seeing the country faced with permanent vaccine and mask mandates and an ignorant public on the verge of embracing it, what does he do? Fund & accelerate the vaccine release, make it widely available, and let the public see for themselves how useless it was.
Embracing unions. It's not the fault of workers that their unions frequently suck. A Trump version of embracing unions means not having to compete against slave labor and having protection against economic warfare from nation states.
Interventionism as a cudgel. Trump is intensely involved in foreign affairs but to the benefit of civilians rather than feds/ngos.
Space Force -- rather than try to downsize/fight a compromised military, he expands it and moves the people he can trust most into a new branch. No cabal member is going to vote against a military budget increase.
Flag burning. Again, Trump goes on offense and will force democrats to defend the right to burn the US flags but not LGBTQ2SIA+ flags.
DOGE: built from the corrupt husk of USDS.
Tariffs: taxing the international elite to create the foundation for ending the income tax.
Defending universal gun rights in all instances is an enormously fatiguing position, and puts us at a disadvantage with the general public as they rarely experience the benefit of it day-to-day. But with ERPOs/GVROs, we'd have a simple & effective counterpunch we could throw any time the feds come charging in.
Thanks for sharing your extensive responsible research on this important MATTER. I grew up in Guns are Bad Canada. Changed my position after speaking with an American Veteran who served in IRAQ. Now I realize American Patriots are the last Bastion between Evil overcoming the Entire Planet. It is ThIS Strength, that Humanity should PARTNER with to Liberate the PLanet and grant Patriots with a Global Responsibility and financial reward.
There is lots to be proud as a Good Canadian Fren..growing up in Montreal was a gateway to old school European Culture that is not filtered through England..It made me the Man I am today
South Park was up for an Oscar doing it. We are well conditioned but a little sensitive after the 51st State comment. Your small & medium sized companies are still hurting. Anything that robs honest Americans or Canadians of earnings, breaks my heart.
Better 51st American state than stealth UK commonwealth territory.
Take it as an invitation to more sovereignty not a threat of conquest or diminishment, but I get it. Gotta shock the polity somehow, is my guess as to the approach.
The jockularism won’t stop, but it’ll be a beautiful day when it’s met with a solid right hook to the nose. Then we can punch you back, and a few pints of blood later go grab a Pabst Blue Ribbon and sing a song about pissing on the royals, then maybe go drunk-gilley a beaver pelt.
Think it makes sense to revisit this as it pissed a lot of folks off at the time--myself included--but as always in hindsight Trump seems to find a way to thread the needle on the most contentious issues.
The only thing I can imagine would make democrats/feds stand up for gun rights is the threat of them being taken away from extremely dangerous & mentally unstable kids who are being funded & trained as school shooters.
This policy would give republicans the foothold to counter-punch emotional appeals to end the 2nd that always come out after a school shooting: a policy that specifically targets fed-created assassins.
To some degree it's giving the left what they want, but Trump has proven he knows how to judo the feds when it comes to this sort of policy, and democrats would be stumbling over themselves trying to decide whether to fight it or support it.
I'm not making any predictions or even inclined to offer an opinion on the policy itself, but I will observe that it would create a lot of chaos and force people to play roles they're unaccustomed to having to play. Trump thrives in that environment.

Oh believe me I understand it's ripe for abuse.

All in good jest, fren. I simply refuse to live in a world where we can’t make fun of Canada. Imagine the drollity!
Same tenet applies to Wisconsin.
