— “Do you believe that the Second Amendment provides individuals with a right to shoot and kill government officials when they deem our government has become ‘tyrannical’?
Unequivocally, YES YES YES!
— “If one or two individuals who believe our government is ‘tyrannical’ are not enough, how many individuals does it take to make political violence against our government legitimate?
I’ll go with several million that have marched, protested, cried out at town hall meetings and the tens of millions more that empathize/sympathize with them but were unable to do so.
— Finally, how would the NRA define government ‘tyranny’? Does having to live with health care reform that one disagrees with constitute being ‘attacked by politicians’?”
When you’re decreeing I must participate in your program or face jail time and fines? I define that as tyranny.

Thank you.
No, but I believe that the Declaration of Independence sure does.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. T. Jefferson 1776
