It seems like there's a lot of gun owners who talk the talk but when the SHTF they're going to be among the first ones to give up their guns. I just think that raw American spirit is completely gone now and you'll see some people on our side still thinking that they'll wait until the next election to vote them out. This 2020 election is really patriot's last stand because the Deep State is angry from 2016 and if they sweep into power, you can bet that they're going to go after us with a vengeance.
Bad representative govt isn’t tyranny. It’s the result of entitlement mentality.
The DOI clearly defined what is a rational point of rebellion, and as long as we collectively enable our elected officials, we will continue to get further erosion of the limited govt principle as mandated in the Constitution.
But, you are correct in terms of maintaining the ability to effect change when that time (of usurpation leading to tyranny) comes.
