   An interesting social media discussion may be had based on, as the article posits – Progressive elite gov’t/media cabal = Hans Gruber; Tea Party nationalist Trumpers = John McClane.

   I would submit that there are some Hans Grubers out there, like Soros.

   But the Progressive elite gov’t/media cabal = Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson.

   But to give credit where it’s due, he did come up with, “We’re gonna need some new FBI guys.”

   You mean the guy, according to Officer McClane, got, um, boo-fooed on national television?

   Some killer lines in that flick.

   But they’ve already had the majority of the counties in the state either voice opposition or go through the Sanctuary County movement in declaring any state action to be in violation of Second Amendment rights.

   Here is a present map (in green) of cities and county’s that have declared sanctuary:

   

   You can go to New York and a number of other Blue states and see the same phenomenon, in that in land mass, the state is far more ‘Red’ than ‘Blue’ but the state government is controlled by the large population centers.

   Considering how much progressives were yelping a decade ago about some Hunger Games-like future society where the elites at the Capital control the districts, when it comes to something like gun control, the only way the progressives can project their power out into the hostile countryside is to be the people they claim to hate, and basically force non-complying areas into subservience by starving them of money (which, if they really wanted to do that, would then likely lead those outlying areas to start starving the big cities of food and clothing materials. There’s really no way for them to force the issue without an eventual use of force on the part of the progressives, but then you’re back to the problem that the ‘Savages’ have the guns, and the people who normally join the military and law enforcement department’s rank-and-file — as opposed to the more political types in the leadership — draw most of their people from that subset of Savages).

   I think most of the Hunger Games Peace Keepers came from District 2, not the capital.
