    We’re doomed to be a shithole country forever. Way too many morons and it’s getting worse.

    It takes an insurmountable level of bubble-wrap to convince yourself that the OG power brokers baked in a way to overthrow THEM.

    The same ones who baked in a way to guarantee all the power stayed with them via election rules nonsense and calling “certain” people notreallypeople.

    But guns all around to storm Monticello and string him up? Oh yeah, no doubt TJ was all about it.

    Nice Marxist take on our founding fathers. They owned slaves (as did all of Western Europe), so everything they did must have been distorted and evil.

    But that’s not because of the 2A.

    Funny as such a shit hole as you describe it there sure are a ton of people want to move here and not many fleeing to other places.
    You could always leave also, but you better prepare from what I understand it takes time to get residency in most of those European dream countries many emulate. You just can’t walk over the border and start working.

    Criminals would/will maintain their guns even if the law abiding citizens are disarmed. That's just the way one side see the Second Amendment. And that is Leftists view of our Constitutional right to personal defense/protection... is fundamentally flawed.

    Thomas Jefferson said that everyone is part of a militia, and the militia was NOT federally controlled then and it's not, in some states, right now.

    Your "understanding" of the 2A is the flawed one.
