Take it easy, these are traitors to the Constitution.

Cool. Anything being done to stop them?

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What would you suggest?

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 12 hours ago

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

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?

[–] DanVctr@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We’re working a few different angles, yes.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Concepts of a plan?

[–] amorpheus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which would be? When do you expect results?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] amorpheus@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Anything before then?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

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.
