The right to rebel is not guaranteed.

You contradict our Declaration of Independence. ". . . that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it . . . "

You reject our Constitution daily. Do you now reject the Declaration?

I didn't say the right to rebel doesn't exist. I said it's not guarenteed by the government. The other poster said the second amendment guarentees the people the right to rebel. That's not so. The right to rebel against the government is a national right that must be asserted without permission. The Declaration was not submitted to the King for approval. That's absurd.

The 2nd amendment right to bear arms has clearly been imperiled for years, and despite the recent ruling, remains imperiled. The national government can decide what it means, and what limits can be placed upon it. The national government has the power to repress rebellion. They are under no legal obligation to sanctify rebellion against itself. That is absurd.

Rebellion is extra-constitutional. Force is what it is. You don't ask for permission. You take it and use it at your own peril. You remember that saying, "we hang together or we'll all hang separately"? That's what that means.
