They’re just straight up evil.

    Yeah, when people post this it means, “shooting people will fix everything.” It conveniently ignores that the government has control of the most powerful military in the world. Now, if the MILITARY were also in on the “2A” talk, it would be different, but I very much doubt they will be.

      What event in recent history makes you think the US military is any good at dealing with insurgencies? In addition to the most powerful military, the US also has the most heavily armed populace in the entire world. Rebellion here would be a bloodbath of historical propprtions but the people would win. If you call that winning.

      Pretty much. Americans are the most heavily armed civilian population in the world, hasn’t prevented their slide into decay.

        “The enforcement arm of the fascist government is irrelevant.”

        I don’t see any way this can be true. How do you figure?

          Because you think the 2A means “meet an entire military force on a battlefield”. Nobody with actual thinking ability would jump to that conclusion, as you have done.

          None of this has anything at all to do with the US military.
