“If They Come for Your Guns, Do You Have a Responsibility to Fight?”

Our founding fathers thought so back in April, 1775.

25,000 dead and 25,000 wounded paid the price.
Estimated 200,000 fought.
Figures are for US only.

The article is excellent and states the point of the 2nd Amendment and the Constitution in general with perfect clarity, that any government official failing to protect the Constitution is violating their oath and is treasonous. I would hate to have to put my family in danger, but maybe the greatest danger would be to give in if they came for our guns and in effect our Constitution.

Even in 1775 1/3 of the population were loyalists, another 1/3 didn’t want to be bothered and thank goodness the final 1/3 stood against King George.

This same proportion would likely be the same today.
