I don't put that much trust in government


Not trusting our government because they are a bunch of sleazy politicians is different than not trusting our government to not wage war against the citizens.

You people act like we are living under the rule of some crazy dictator that can snap at any time.

I'd actually think it would be great if cops could sweep the ghetto and check if people registered to have guns had them stored safely and patted people down to see if they aren't carrying them around. No gun where it is supposed to be? Off to jail for a few years (unless reported stolen in the past 60 days or so). Crime would drop big time.

Why do you hate black people?

You just chose to ignore the next sentence, obviously. I said that I don't believe that they ever would, but to say it's impossible, is false.

No, but banning guns is the first step toward tyranny. Surely you see this. Those rights would never come back.

NYPD used that strategy. Seemed to work wonders. Good job on the race baiting, btw.

Right and Giuliani was excoriated for picking on blacks.

Congress has to approve a declaration of war, correct? So you think hundreds of congressmen will vote in favor of America’s military going to war against their citizens?

Here is what you need to understand, the way our government is currently constructed, it is impossible.

If the day ever came that the American government turned on its own people, our government would be structured much differently than it is now. And if that happened, that would mean our constitution, including the second amendment, is already out the window.

Wait, you think Congress or the Supreme Court can stop the President, the commander in chief? That dictator you never thought possible?

Without people having guns, Congress would have even less power.

Mainly because conservatives don't want to ban guns....

So...in order to keep this country from falling from grace and doing away with our rights it is IMPERITIVE that the 2nd amendment remain. You’re tiptoeing around proving my point for me, but you just haven’t quite got there yet.

I really don't think that the government's structure would have to change that much. It would just need the right people in the right places. Besides, who's to say it won't change? With our current political climate, who know what our government will look like in the near or further future?

And like I will say for the third time, I don't believe it will ever happen, but it's not impossible.

hate to break it to you, but America's military, weaponry and intelligence has evolved just a wee bit since the 2nd amendment was written. a bunch of country boys with their tricked out Glocks, 1911's and semi-auto rifles isn't gonna do shite. there's no reason to be ashamed to admit that you or anyone else owns guns for hobby or sport. if anyone here seriously goes to buy a gun to protect themselves from our government, they're fricking nuts.


I think you are missing the point. It is a check and balance, a control. Could a check be forged that needs 2 signatures? Of course, but it makes it less likely to happen.

I think that you also miss, in your scenario, the thought that the entire military might not be complicit in this fight against the US people. It is not really something that could be imagined up in our current state.

The scenario being feared is not a war my friend. It is hostility and control.

Tell me who declares this war? Who carries out this war? Democrats want to impeach trump for being an immature misogynist. You think a president that is hell bent on turning against our population will last very long?

This is my fricking point. In our current state, it’s not really something that can happen. Even if we had some nutjob President that wanted war against the citizens, do you think our congress or military would follow through?

So I guess you don't care about any white, Hispanic or Asian people who live there.
