When “Tyranny” Somehow Means American Troops

A tense exchange between Chip Roy and Jerry Nadler accidentally cuts through years of dishonest Second Amendment framing. When Roy talks about resisting tyranny, Nadler immediately jumps to “American troops” — a reflex that says more than he intended.

The crew breaks down why that assumption matters, how “semi-automatic” has become a meaningless scare term, and why most people pushing these arguments don’t understand the scope of what they’re really calling to restrict. This isn’t about fantasies or hypotheticals — it’s about how casually lawmakers talk themselves into banning the vast majority of firearms Americans actually own.
