The US militia that everyone talks about in relation to the 2nd amendment weren't meant to protect the US from Canada. It was in response to a feared slave uprising from within.

Like the Native Americans who were actively raiding settlements and engaging in pretty brutal (by both parties) conflict with the settlers who often responded by generating local militias from normal folk who were then tasked with attacking the native americans.

But no, instead we should pretend it had something to do with shooting a president you don't like. Because that's what "freedom from tyranny" is.

It is 'funny' how much the supposedly anti-government freedum fighters in the US are 100% behind 'back the blue' and the government agency that has the monopoly on the 'legal' use of physical force/violence in society.

The constitution was a set of principles meant to extend beyond the times they were written in.

As flawed as the founding fathers were, they were probably smart enough to understand that the nature of the threats the country would face were likely to evolve over time.

This is based on nothing but 'america bad'.

Do you think this makes you look smart?
