My estimation of the resistance (ie, the American citizens) is based on many factors. Among them, the response to Roe v. Wade; to Kelo; to Waco; to the TSA.

Do you think any of those things rises to the standard already set by the Declaration of Independence?

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
I do not. And I don't believe any rational observer would agree with you.

There are no advocates of the Second Amendment that do not understand it is the tripwire signaling the onset of intolerable abuses....

In my opinion, the American colonists revolted against far less onerous offenses than our govt commits against us today.

If you consider Roe v Wade, obamacare, TSA, income taxes, etc. to be “light and transient causes” that do not “rise to the standard set by the Declaration, I am aghast, speechless.

“...the tripwire signaling the onset of intolerable abuses....”

Basically, it signals that they are willing to KILL as many American Citizens as they need to to accomplish their goals.

That thought alone should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

That thought alone should have blood boiling all over the country, and set peoples’ hearts to stone against anyone advocating it.
