You realize it as well even if you don't want to admit it yet.
It's why the Founders put it there.
Organizing would also be something to start on the local level.

Are you suggesting something beyond keeping and bearing arms, which is not a right guaranteed by the constitution, no matter how big ones Gadsden Flag is, or whether theyve memorized that Water the Tree of Liberty quote?
Youre not really trying to have a discussion about protecting rights.

Each street would be a gauntlet.
I'm certainly not advocating for such a thing. I don't believe in violence, and I don't think it would go well for many. It's certainly a good thing that we're far more civilized today. Right?

This whole 2nd amendment theory. It's a theory. That's it.
Think realistically about what would happen.
You'd 100%, without a doubt, be killed.
If you're thinking we would amass enough people to the point where we wouldn't be killed, I would have to disagree.
We can't even get enough people out to vote, let alone pick up a gun and shoot someone.
