        I could have sworn I’ve heard Americans insisting for years that there was an amendment specifically for situations like this, but what do I know. I’m sure doing nothing and expecting the situation to turn out fine is a reasonable course of action.

          It’s been a useless amendment since we got a professional standing army.

          If you want to be gunned down by a dozen amped up cops you can give it a try though.

            So I’m expected to believe these are “traitors to the Constitution” and not representative of America while America just sits by and lets it happen?

              I would say a majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and don’t own a firearm, so yes, not really representative of “Americans just letting it happen”

                Sounds like these “traitors of the Constitution” have won then and the Constitution doesn’t mean dick all.

        Actual uprising. It’s like you’ve got the 2nd amendment for nothing but range toys and school shootings.

          The official one depends on if the left can get it’s shit together by October 2026. Outlook not so good.

              Before then there are local protests and meetings to push legislation, as well as federal representatives to contact. If you’re looking for something a little more immediate and dramatic, you might enjoy the guns, but frankly the organization around them is kinda iffy.
