… put up for sale…

The whole point is that your precious Second Amendment right (a sentiment I share) already is up for sale and is being sold right out from under you. It is being sold every day. Simply look at the parade of gun restriction laws.

It is utterly illusory to believe that your Second Amendment rights will do any more than hopefully deter the government from some tyrannical adventure. If the idea is to wage a civil war, a guerrilla war, a revolution or a campaign of terrorism, against a tyrannical government, that is utterly illusory for the reasons expressed HERE .

Our liberties are being sold out from under us everyday. When the court is in session you can count on your liberties eroding every Monday when the opinions are announced. When the court is not in session, or rather every day of every week of every month you can count on your liberties being sold by bureaucrats clandestinely acting in dark corners. Do you live in San Francisco? How are your liberties doing there? How is your gun helping you in your quest to maintain your liberties if you live in San Francisco? How do you think your liberties will fare if Camilla Harris treats the presidency the way she treated the office of Atty. Gen.?

Every day in every way the current situation is one of eroding liberty.

The objection of the National Rifle Association to the Article V movement is a selfish stand to protect one liberty and their Rice bowl among the shower of cascading liberties. Let the devil take the hindmost, or throwing the Bill of Rights to the alligators in the hope that your favored liberty will be consumed last, is folly.

For many of us the 2nd Amendment is not an illusionary defense Nathan, it is the acknowledged line in the sand that will bring blood if crossed and it is that threat of blood, not the line in the sand that slows down the evil coming our way.

Without that willingness to resist we would already be just as far down the path to the new order as our European brethren and without the 2nd Amendment we would be ripe for devisive attacks attempting to pull us apart based on exactly when each of us says no to our friends in high places - but with the 2nd Amendment being such a large part of our common heritage we are protected from that line of attack and stand together. Cross the line, pay the price. It's the American way. A gift from our Founders and not something to be placed on the table at a COS.

I don't know why you are going on about San Franciscans Nathan, but what really confuses me is why you, of all people, would be willing to give people like that a seat at a table where the future layout of our government would be discussed. No worries you say, our Republican friends would protect us... yeah right, as long as their price to switch sides isn't met.

You can put your faith in your Republican friends, but me, I'm going keep mine in free and well armed men. And while I'm at it, I'll be doing my best to keep a Convention of States from ever coming in to session.
