Based SOLELY on the reasoning the Founders had for the 2nd Amendment, it is clear that citizens NEED, at bare minimum, the same arms which may be used against them by their government. This defuses the straw man argument of well should citizens have nukes? Well if the government were to use nukes against them, then yes they need them.

As corrupt as our government is, I do not believe they would use such arms as nukes against us but I known damned well they would have all sorts of automatic weapons therefore we NEED the same.

This is the reason for “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED”, as once you limit the citizens ability to defend themselves from the government, you have eviscerated the 2nd Amendment. That is EXACTLY the position we currently find ourselves in with a weakened beyond usefulness 2nd Amendment.

We have been asleep and allowed them the chip enough of the 2nd Amendment away such that we can no longer stop them and they know it. We never drew a line in the sand at “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” and our USSC black robed hacks will never restore the 2nd Amendment to its intended protection of American citizens from their government.

A great and initially successful experiment in limited government has failed due to the citizens lack of vigilance and allowing from K-12 and institutions of higher learning to degrade, distort and lie about the Founders and what a fantastic path they set forth for this country.

EXCELLENT point. Using that logic, a rouge government alreay has us enslaved. We're already their political prisoners.

I'm wondering....our military is willing to go overseas to protect or freedoms abroad, and free other people abroad, but where are they when we need them to protect our lives, our liberty, and our right to pursue happiness here at home? Why is the military silent on this issue, and other oppressive issues forced upon us by an overpowering, decieving, corrupt government?
We no longer are a free people. EVERYTHING in our lives is regulated or taxed somehow. The military doesn't see this? Do they care? Could they save us?
