Overthrowing an abusive or tyrannical government in order to restore the Constitution is why we have a Second Amendment.

I'd hope that it won't come to that, but if no one stands up to say they are willing and ready to fight to protect their rights then someone will inevitably try to take those rights.

Be serious. I couldn't even generate any enthusiasm on FR for a phone campaign to the Senators on the Senate Rules Committee, which oversees the FEC and could make a difference here.

The interest is close to zero.

If we had a decent sized interest, we could stop this thing in its tracks.

And once we've let it go into law, you guys don't have enough guns to overthrow the gov't.

Our best chance to win is to fight now, using the weapons our democracy provides. I believe in the Second Ammendment, but have little hope of victory on that front.
