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?
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.
