We're going to have to use our 2nd Amendment right before it's taken from us

[NightWatcher]

You realize it as well even if you don't want to admit it yet.

It's why the Founders put it there.

Organizing would also be something to start on the local level.

1. Amazing how "quiet" the NRA is lately...

Even though American citizens are being killed and their houses illegally entered under force of masked men on indeterminate authority.

[misanthrope]

5. You mean like they were after Philando Castile was murdered by LEO?

They didn't make a peep about that even though he was a lawful firearm owner and was trying to calmly abide by requests.

[Jack Valentino]

15. They don't want to alert the non-whites that they ALSO have

2nd Amendment Rights!!!

[Bread and Circuses]

2. This is not going to end via speeches, lawsuits, or legislative actions,.,.

We need to be smart and there needs to be patriotic military, intelligence officers, and veterans to organize the defense of the constitution.

I’m sorry to say this. We will loose many people, I don’t know if we can stop this. But the present strategy isn’t happening

[Ptah]

3. G. Gordon Liddy, is that you?

[NightWatcher]

10. Keep suing him and writing sternly worded emails. That'll work

Enjoy your concentration camp.

[Deuxcents]

4. This thread is scary..I admit I've thought about this before

This is no longer about immigration or getting the worst of the worst.. latest behavior from the agents from whatever agency, is more violent and lawless and just pissing on the Constitution

[Fiendish Thingy]

6. The 2nd amendment says the People have the right to keep and bear arms

That’s it.

Are you suggesting something beyond keeping and bearing arms, which is not a right guaranteed by the constitution, no matter how big one’s Gadsden Flag is, or whether they’ve memorized that “Water the Tree of Liberty” quote?

You’re not really trying to have a discussion about protecting rights.

[NightWatcher]

9. I'm saying we organize (think neighborhood protection militias)

It's in the text of the amendment.

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. Sort of like blue state Oathkeepers?

Good luck with that.

[Kaleva]

16. What is stopping you from doing that?

[Frasier Balzov]

7. Fun fantasy but we'd get wiped out.

Letters to the editor are more our style.

[NightWatcher]

8. Where have those gotten us?

[stopdiggin]

11. I know a lot of people that are ardent (and vocal) 'patriots'

(just ask them!)
that I wouldn't follow through a crosswalk, with the WALK sign engaged.

Leading me to think that you have a LOT more faith in your neighbor(s) ...
Than any legitimate assessment, feeling, or TRUST - than I can ever envision garnering up ...

These clowns have plans to attack military bases .. ? Or (as seems much more likely) the USPS letter carrier on her rounds .. ? City councilman's daycare drop off .. ?

[flvegan]

12. Some say that if they had taken a lesson from our forefathers

Those streets lined with single family homes would have our 2A advocates on every roof on both sides with rifles and plenty of ammo.

Each street would be a gauntlet.

I'm certainly not advocating for such a thing. I don't believe in violence, and I don't think it would go well for many. It's certainly a good thing that we're far more civilized today. Right?

[OC375]

14. The Troubles, Northern Ireland

It would be less Red Dawn, and more assassinated families and blown up buildings. Count me out x100.

[sarisataka]

17. What about tanks and drones?

Are they no longer a concern?

[Intractable]

18. I am not buying a gun. I'll give my 2A allocation to someone who actually wants it.

[LuckyCharms]

19. The reality is though...

you'd be killed.

This whole 2nd amendment theory. It's a theory. That's it.

Think realistically about what would happen.

You'd 100%, without a doubt, be killed.

If you're thinking we would amass enough people to the point where we wouldn't be killed, I would have to disagree.

We can't even get enough people out to vote, let alone pick up a gun and shoot someone.
