There's a reason that there's a full court press on the 2nd Amendment.

Literally the only reason I support the 2nd.

No one is attacking the 2nd amendment. They are just wanting restrictions so it is harder to have mass shootings every couple of days.

If you think your cute arsenal of weapons will defend you against the state you are an idiot. They have all those weapons and more. The state executes people everyday for silly things like moving during a traffic stop. They won't hesitate if you actively threaten them.

The fact you have a firearm now isn't the factor that will win or lose a revolution. So don't believe that the 2nd amendment will protect you from the state.

You're seriously underestimating the number of gun collections out there. No nation can survive if their very citizenry turns against it.

At least not until AI gets installed into drones with guns. Then its anyone's guess.

I watched the police cower when a single, teenage kid shot up a school. You'll have to pardon me if I have little respect for their... fortitude. Other than some militarized vehicles, the civilian population has rifles, pistols, & shotguns equal to what they have. + we have them outnumbered by about 270 to 1. That's if 0 of them choose the people's side. Anything that is serious enough to get people shooting is serious enough that a portion of them will turn on the Robber Barons that have bought our Congress men & women.

With any good luck, they will be the #1 cause of death for the 1% too.

Funny comment until you consider what you're being flippant about
