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.

(27,128 posts)This is no longer about immigration or getting the worst of the worst.. latest behavior from the agents from whatever agency, is more violent and lawless and just pissing on the Constitution

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.

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.
