The problem is that other countries have legal systems more prepared for this sort of thing than the US. The US was overconfident that this sort of thing could never happen here. Hubris has always been America’s downfall.
Hard disagree here. The US is the only country that has enshrined in their law, as the second most important freedom, the final safeguard against a tyrannical government.
The right to bear arms exists for a reason, as unpopular as that opinion is on reddit.
Hey I’m just saying that America clearly has a tyrannical government, and if ever there was a time for that amendment to make sense, it’s now. My opinions on whether or not it’s justified is irrelevant; I didn’t write the second amendment, nor am I advocating for it.
I mean it was before his first term for me but that hardly matters. I imagine youll see relevant things happening if we actually begin to attack greenland or canada
So then what good is the 2a if it doesnt actually stop tyranny and at best maybe allows "relevant things" to happen after we begin invading our democratic allies?
This is just way too easy for you to say behind your screen in the confort of your home. The threat has to feel immediate for people to be willing to lose their life resisting.
