#1 When the magic government paychecks stop being able to be cashed and the EBT cards no longer function - as must inevitably happen within the next decade - the heretofore peaceful people living a few blocks from Dionne and the rest of his fellow traveler urban leftist maggotry will take out their interrupted entitlement on the most proximal financially comfortable people they can find.

Those would be NPR listening pseudointellectual leftists like Dionne and his fellow travelers.

The cops will be busy defending themselves and not him. It's the real reason (not "compassion" or "fairness" or "justice") why people like him don't want the welfare state and the blue state model government - which pacify the giant public workforce and the welfare class with more money than they deserve - to end. "Those people" are safely pacified and Dionne and his ilk can have their tony safe urban playground where they can loftily deem as "untermensch" believers in Christianity or limited government.

That he doesn't see the truth of this is - and that he doesn't understand the ultimate need he and his will have to defend themselves from the hordes up the block - is proof that the guy really isn't that bright after all. The laws making guns available will be fought, up to the point that the hordes are attacking. Then it will be too late.

#2 the nation's unarmed majority might ponder how badly we have failed in asserting our own rights.

The right to not buy a firearm is fully intact. I be ole EJ doesn't even realize that his statement defines the importance of 2A and why it was written into the BoR. Unarmed people cannot assert their rights. To paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who do not.

#3 Gun Supremacists? Jeez, E.J. What does that even mean?

The gun supremacists just don't trust those pesky local elected officials.

If you read the Constitution, old and crufty as it is, one of the big themes is governments can't be trusted with power. Federal governments, state governments, and yes, even local governments. They all tend towards greedy and grasping.

#4 Watch out if you connect through Atlanta.

I hope EJ Dionne will remember...a Southern man don't need him around anyhow.

#5 "Then it will be too late."

For him and his ilk, at least, no mo. For us normal people, not so much.
