But couldn't be more correct on his quote:

"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."


The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

The thing about right to bear arms is...

When shite hits the fan nobody will actually fight lmao. It will be gun owners hiding in their house. Nobody will be scared of them.

You all act like yall are gonna start a revolution. I am all for keeping my guns, but if they got taken away, nothing would realistically change for msyelf and 99 percent of you..

Its a tough guy mentality. I get it but none of yall are really like that or you would be in military or LEO... Its always the boomers..

Jefferson's Garden Book, written in his own hand (and still legible for those who can read script) still exists.

Read the original at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society site that has it as an ebook, for free access.

The only flaw there is that he lived in a time where the heaviest firepower you would face was muskets. Not Boston Dynamic terminators and attack drones.

Tell me you don't know anything about late 18th century weaponry without telling me you don't know anything about late 18th century weaponry. Or Locke. Or Jefferson.

Also, if there is anything we've learned thoroughly in the last 50 years, it is that the US government and military will always lose to insurgent and guerilla forces. Every time.

Not supporting it and don't know how much will the people would ever have so long as grocery shelves are full and the a/c is working. But our government has definitively proven it is incompetent at counter insurgency warfare.

When the shite hits the fan I’ll have my guns, bullets and I’ll fill some of those piss balloons to start my assault with.
