"Its gun control, not a gun ban."
2018 stricter gun control laws are put into place, despite the current laws already being unconstitutional (illegal.)
2020 the ruling party passes an agricultural bill with an unusual attachment. This attachment gives federal authorities more power to seize existing guns from those who fail background checks or mental health checks at any time.
2021 another hidden attachment on an unrelated bill makes the background checks and mental tests easier to fail, even for healthy law abiding citizens.
2025 after yet another mass shooting, a massive push again occurs for stronger gun laws. This results in current gun owners having to re-certify every few years. With the laws from 2020 and 2021 this results in massive gun seizures.
2028 with many guns already stolen by federal authorities the government again passes a hidden law that defines anyone of certain "undesirable" political affiliations, education levels, ethnicities, etc, from owning guns. This could and would include communists, anarchists, III%, etc, etc. Anyone the government has targeted is now disarmed, possibly imprisoned or dead.
This is how gun control becomes a gun ban. It is the slippery slope that tyrants have spent billions of dollars trying to convince you doesn't exist.
Dude, you can see the future? How much Steem Power do I have then?
Lol, good one.
Well, by 2028 I hope I'm at least a dolphin. lol
You will be far better off than I will be, as long as you avoid rapists like @berniesanders
You have been added to the @iflagtrash shitlist for spamming the network. Enjoy.
I try to avoid all rapists. I especially don't try to get them into a corner.
Getting them into a corner works better for me in person. Keyboard warriors are bad enough, keyboard rapists on the other hand...

July of 2020, having put in countless hours of work you have become one of the biggest nonwhales on the platform, clever altcoin purchases using SBD makes you a comfortable sum outside of steemit as well.
August of 2020, buying into steem during a dip in the price allows you to trully become a whale, you are now one of the 20 largest users on the platform.
December of 2020 another whale, upset that you have earned your status through effort and not by being born rich declares war on you, every posts and comment is downvoted by an army of bots.
February 2021 the war goes merrily on, minnows, redfish, even dolphins on both sides are utterly destroyed.
April 2021 The war hasn't gone well for you, but now your own army is powered up and ready to go. The battles intesify.
June 2021 with your tactics proving superior, and with the support of the real users in the community you begin to win the war, slowly at first, but more clearly as time passes.
July 2021 for the first time since the war began the enemy whale tries making peace, but acts like he is doing it for you, not himself. You remember the many people who had their accounts destroyed and work wasted. You decline.
December of 2021 just in time for christmas and the one year anniversary of the war, the enemy whale surrenders and begins the final powerdown, he is leaving steemit forever.
January 2022. You are now among the top 5 largest whales on steemit and have an army of bots on your side. You begin a curation program to help those damaged in the war. You are regarded as a hero.
July 2022 estimated account worth $3,500,000 estimated value of all your accounts? Unknown.
this post will be downvoted by bots, do not waste your upvote.

That sounds like an epic battle. I sure hope I have the stamina for it. My trouble is that I don't know how to tell who is a whale. I'm also glad that I have a couple years to build up from borrowed Steem to whale Steem.
Many people down voted ,but a good post to think.
Those are automated downvotes by @berniesanders he is mad because I commented about how he downvotes people for no reason and commits #rewardpoolrape
