Once it requires that it would have been too late -

You of all people here should know that.

Too late for recourse within the system, and for civil disobedience. I know that, and that was the whole point of that particular post. We still have those options (recourse within the system and civil disobedience) open to us.

But if it does come to the guns drawn condition, then we will be in the position our founders were, and will have the option to proceed as they did.

I hope, I pray, and I do not believe it will come to that. I believe we will settle it short of that...but our founders hoped, prayed, and believd that too. That's why they kept their guns at hand and is why we must do the same.
