This was meant as a joke regardimg the media discourse obsessing over basically the first 2 amendments and ignoring the rest. I'm particularly disturbed by the post 9/11 disregard for the 4th amendmemt. Three hop surveilance is an abomination.

I'm a big fan of the entire bill of rights and believe in their interpretation as concrete, specific and personal. This includes the 2nd.

It's funny how Americans keep parroting this nonsense while their liberties are constantly and arbitrarily abused by their government all the time, despite being armed to the teeth.

Things would have to get really bad for enough people before another revolution is the most logical answer. I don't know why you think owning a gun means wanting to use it. Someone who isn't a sociopath would look for every reason not to.

That's a good point.

2A is a last measure. I’m glad it’s that way.
