From as long as I remember, the Pro-2A crowd messaging was that the Second Amendment was intended to resist Government Tyranny.
Is anyone still under the illusion that the 2A is a good protection against tyranny? |

It might as well not exist.
Nobodies doing anything and our FF's are rolling in their graves. Just enjoy the decline. We've got front row seats. |

The Colonists had over 10 years of tyranny and excessive taxation after fighting the french and indian war before anyone contemplated revolution. And that was only decided after Lexington & Concord.
It takes more than anyone thinks, unfortunately. |
|
Y’all are a bunch of biggity bitch defeatists.
Live your fucking life and ignore the fucking laws that you don’t like, just like leftists do. |

It worked out decent at lobby day 2020. If most gun owners organized shit like that and actually attended, it would be a significant step forward.

About when the people in Russia overthrow Putin and join the modern democratic world. Nobody wants to go first.

Q: When is the 2A suppose to kick in?
A. arfcom: WELLLLLL, waiting on you tough guy. Why don't you make the first move? Pussy. B. also arfcom: OMG, he made a first move and actually did something! LOCK HIM UP! Imprison his family, the fucking traitor! We have rules here. We have to take the moral high ground and vote harder. LOL. The "right" is its own worst enemy. |
|
Be thankful it hasn’t kicked off yet.
We still have time to build coalitions and find likeminded people with whom to ally, to strengthen our communities and lay in preps. And to build our Christmas Card Lists. At some point someone will do something. Probably something stupid, probably you don’t agree with, or something you find fault in, or something you’d have done differently. And then you’ll have to decide if you’re going to jump. I hope you’ve made plans for that day. |

Quoted: Last time a move was made, a bunch of people got arrested, half of the right wing condemned them, and they ended up being used as a tool for political showboating in the following election by politicians that mostly don't give a shit about them in reality, while being indefinitely held without bond. View Quote Half? Try like 90%. |

Quoted: >ignore the declining civilization around you >don’t do anything View Quote I don’t live around trash. I live in a county of 40k people that’s twice the size of Rhode Island with a Sheriff’s department of less than 100 people. I own 30 acres. I ignore stupid laws that I don’t like on my own land. |

Sounds like someone never read the Declaration of Independence.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

You need a declaration of independence and list of grievances.

It is a bulwark, but it also requires organization and planning. Not building an ammo fort and thinking you're good. Organize with like minded people. And learn how to make and use things beyond mere small arms. |

Slow.
there will be some rumors, maybe something captured on the internets. Then, astonishment and a lot of Wailing for peace. then anger and overreaction. then it will get fast. Real fast. |

Why is OP trying to redefine communism and push collectivism... Fascinating.

Comfortable people don't push back. Even our "poor" are comfortable by world standards.

The 2A is not supposed to protect us against tyranny.
The founders put in the Bill of Rights the minimum needed to make it possible to resist tyranny if the people valued their liberty. If the people are armed, can communicate, and assemble of their own volition, tyranny may be resisted successfully. Tools are not responsible for results, it is the people making use of tools that accomplish a result. |

I was pondering something similar to this earlier today.
At what point does corruption cross the line into tyranny? |

Because that's exactly what this and multiple topics he has started and replies he has made states. Either that or he's trying to incite "the Pro-2A crowd" into doing something for his parole officer/handler. Or is it strictly mercenary? The Federal snitch money must be huge if you could get a member of this board to attack LE or a politician. They'd probably throw in a couple of MP7s to boot for a good boy. Who's a good boy? |

Quoted: Quoted: It's been 30 years since Waco. We are taxed more than the Colonists. Well what are you waiting on? Everyone who wants significant change and a return to founding principles is waiting for someone else to go first. Nobody wants to go first, because everyone knows what happens to the people who go first. People want to live to enjoy the aftermath of a reset. They don't want to die. The founders must have felt like they were so oppressed that likely death wasn't a deterrent to action. The short form version is life doesn't suck bad enough yet. |

At least @GreyHat was delightfully Delphic about his pronunciations of DOOM! and trolling the Elders. And would respond to rhetorical hooks. |

I’ve been doing some reflecting and I believe the Holy Spirit has led me here for today.
Psalms 125:3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous stretch out their hands to do wrong. View Quote From me/ my understanding of passages and where i have recently been led: Do not shy from the truth keep it upon your lips. Lots of lies are being exposed, and are making in through their walls to the uninformed. So many are starting to wake up. Their are many who God is their rock and who He has trained their arms for war who are leaving room for God’s wrath. This is righteous. God’s timeframe isn’t ours. Focus on your relationship to him. Do what is pleasing to him and consult with him in prayer and worship. The closer we are to him the less time the rod of wickedness will sit. |

This is a discussion board. I enjoy having discussions that challenge our normal understanding of the world around us because the following dialogue typically establishes more insight and leads to a better understanding of things, both for myself and other people. Another way to phrase this would be it’s a simple thought experiment for people. Why would I be inciting violence? Isn’t the second amendment in and of itself the implied use of violence? I guess I can just open a thread about beans in meat soup if you find that more interesting. |

You work for .gov and you started a thread recently about wanting to run away to Japan, of all places. Seems you’re concerned
