    Even if every person on here, on Reddit, and every left-leaning social media revolted against the powers that be right now, we wouldn’t resolve anything. Not really. They’d send the military out, shoot us down (possibly quite literally), then go back to business as usual.

    What are your thoughts on 2A and private gun ownership?

      the us military will always have more firepower than your group of armed civilians. maybe good for defending against other armed civilians, but don’t act like you could take on the military.

      That doesn’t really factor into anything.

      If the military backs the system, they’d win that fight as they’ll always be better armed.

      That’s why the founding fathers never wanted a standing military, because it took power away from the people - now more than ever.
