How is your second amendment helping you deal with NSA, illegal no-fly lists, police brutality, etc? It doesn't, its just a power fantasy. There are plenty of 'disatmed' countriss with just as much or more liberty

Yeah. People talk about second amendment solutions, and I wonder exactly what line needs to be crossed for that to come into play. My guess is nothing will ever be egregious enough. It's all BS.

Not knowing where the line is is itself a line.

Second Amendment gives the population a chance against the government.

No guns the population has no chance and the government can do anything they want.
