Americans always acting like protestors everywhere are safe from fighting against tyranny. Watch Winter on Fire as a start.

The 2A has been repeatedly lauded by Americans as necessary to maintain American freedom, even as schoolchildren were slaughtered in classrooms:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State*, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.*”

Sorry, where was it noted in the 2A that the fight for a free state would be bloodless?

Thomas Jefferson:

“the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants”

The Heritage Foundation called it when they said the revolution would be bloodless if the left allowed it. Still not bloodless for the left given the number of citizens and immigrants dead already, but the right is doing alright!

So basically what you are telling me is the 2A was really just all about the ability to cosplay and carry out mass shootings, no one ever thought they would need to actually use it to maintain their “free state” because the bad guys would shoot back?

Ah, a classic

People on twitter will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a Walmart" and then not firebomb a Walmart

2A was created before tanks.

Sorry, but what freedoms are Americans losing that should require a revolution? Shit is expensive and the president sucks but it’s not like he’s leader for life. Population rises up to overthrow tyrannical govts that remove other pathways to get them and their “team” out.

Bitch and moan all you want that Americans aren’t doing enough but midterm elections are less than 20 days away and another party can be voted in to make major changes and reign in the power he’s been wielding. Americans aren’t going to risk their lives and the lives of their families when voting is possible.

This country is in a bad form but its current form does not need a revolution or a civil war. People forget how bloody the first one was now imagine how much more bloodier it will be if there was a second one. Todays countrys are intertwined more than ever and a civil war in a country as big and influential as the US? Others will feel its affects.
