Are Americans still scared of the British monarchy?
It's to rise up against a tyrannical government. THIS is the moment. All those people, including kids, have died during school shootings, accidents, gun violence, etc. to safeguard the right to have guns. It was all collateral damage, apparently all worth it, in case a rise against the government was necessary.
The entire world thinks it's crazy to give up so much safety, to risk your life and of your children, for a hypothetical situation in which it's necessary to rise up against the government. Now that this situation is created by themselves, they ask the rest of the world to intervene?
This is beyond the level of Idiocracy, because in that movie at least they listen to the smart guy.
The argument that your little piss ant semi auto AR-15 is going to do anything against a tyrannical government that can just predator drone your house has always been bullshit. They just like their toys and don't give a fuck about children dying.
An AR15 works fine for kneecapping ICE agents though. And yes, kneecapping, I'm against killing. Let them suffer in a wheelchair without benefits for the rest of their lives, as the regime doesn't give a fuck about sick and handicapped people. They'll probably die in a camp as they aren't useful workers, if the US continues the nazi Germany road.
More second amendment fantasies, that's what I came here for. Shoot 1 ice agent and watch the army roll into your neighbourhood. Clown face.
Do nothing and you have the same result
Apparently LoL
