2. Well said. Always thought the stance that using the 2A Solution against government is illogical.

Because our government was created to combat a monarchy, which did not give that and other rights. So use any means to tear it down and you will not get the same results.

In fact the ones who fund this ideology are in favor of breaking the country into states again, using a concept predating the Constitution they claim to stand for. It's just a slogan for them to sell people on giving up their rights to theorcrats and corporate rulers.

I suggest to those who are into the 2A Solution and Tenther thinking to consider this:

If you support the 2A, you should support the federal government that makes gun ownership legal and not try to eliminate it.

I don't want guns to be made illegal, I want them regulated heavily. There are situations that arise naturally that one could make a reasonable case for gun ownership. But the artifically created situation of defunding the rightful and beneficial aspects of government will not be constructively dealt with by using guns as the first solution.

It is a sign of a singular failure to think ahead by those who support it. And it is being pushed by those who want fascism.

If one claims they are saving liberty or freedom by not supporting the framework of government, and not expecting bad things to happen, it's called lying to yourself.

I noticed you had another OP today that was very good, but as the content goes to Facebook, I was unable to access it. I was similarly well-written and a powerful piece.
