Guest Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Do any Americans honestly believe that an armed militia could rise up and overthrow an elected government ? Seriously ? Because I say it would NEVER happen, and if it was attempted they would get squashed like a bug. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they could The US military is in shambles and the populace could easily over throw the government but again that’s not the point of the 2A. The government needs to be scared of the people. The worst atrocities seen in civilization has been committed by government why do you think Trudeau spazzed so hard over the trucker convoy? Because it was a real uprising and they knew it. So many protests are fake but that one was not and it scared them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to want the government in control the point of the 2a is the right of the people to control their government because an unchecked government ALWAYS becomes totalitarian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple hundred nitwits don’t represent the thousands of people there. One estimate was over 100,000 people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The damage estimates from BLM riots were over 1 billion dollars. The little fracas at the WH was nothing compared to the BLM riots unless you're a libtard.

I must’ve missed where they were lighting shit on fire and killing innocent people. Oh wait, the only two innocent people who were killed were protesters. Speaking of gaslit, man someone must have literally lit you on fire lol. We haven’t even talked about all the people who stood behind Trump who’ve had their careers and reputations destroyed, which were previously impeccable you think they really did that because they were corrupt or incompetent? That’s quite a stretch. Rudy Giuliani or John Eastman, for example. The weaponization is so blatantly obvious and the far larger threat to us.

You think one side was justified. I don't think either side was. A riots a riot. It amazes me how Trumpers can't see that. As for reputations destroyed. All I can do is laugh. A smart man would not defend Trumps actions after he lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just did compare them 2 posts back. As far as the riot at the capital, honestly, I don’t give a fuck if it was or it wasn’t at this point. The government has done nothing to dispel the distrust that at least half the country has for it now. And I think it is laughable that you think people who have had a stellar career and reputation, would throw it all away if they did not believe in their cause or that they were stupid. Come on man.

Most likely it would be divided 50/50. You're also assuming every person is able to fight which is ridiculous,some will be too young and some far too old. Then you're assuming COD nerd training equals military training which is also absurd. Then compare arsenals, ar-15's and handguns vs the US military and all it's billions of dollars worth of toys.

Are we closer to a civil war with Trump as potus or anyone other than Trump or Biden? If 2020 was an example. I'd say with Trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
