I wonder how it is the “People” might alter or abolish their government without the tools necessary

Maybe not, but they’re still sinful human beings which might steal (property) or murder one..another.

Or someone might do that unto them..if you want to create a “state-with-in-a-state” you have to have law and order!

For an interesting read, look up “The Athens, Tn. war of 1947.” The New York Times was leftest back then, too. It shows what Americans can do when put upon.

I am well aware of the battle of Athens. Interesting how the armories were nearly empty and that so few citizens had firearms available to them.

But, even with what they had...particularly upon use of the sticks of dynamite, they were able to prevail.

In most rural areas of the country today, there are many more firearms available.

“The pursuit of Happiness” is not an unalienable right.

Our Founding Fathers disagree...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-

[NowApproachingMidnight]

Great article.

[StilettoRaksha]

That is from the Declaration of Independence. The unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness is NOT in the Constitution.

[TigersEye]

The Constitution doesn’t give or take any rights, miz Federal Prosecutor. I think you’ll find the ones not enumerated in Amendment #IX.

That is why I think it is high time we nip this in the bud by starting over WITHOUT the Fed Gov. Start having kids at home, don’t register them, home school them, teach them a trade they can make a living at for cash. They wont pay taxes, or S.S. They wont be subject to labor laws, environmental laws, tax laws

You have fleshed out my basic first thought to the question "how would the “People” alter or abolish their government without the tools necessary to do so?" Don't participate. Cut the government out of your life in every way possible. Make it irrelevant to your life.
