“A people unwilling the use the peaceful means bequeathed to them by their Founders to preserve their liberty, deserve the misery, starvation, and destruction they ask for.” Me.
I agree with your statement, however one of the tools they left us was the 2nd amendment and for good reason, this quote sums it up.
“When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty” Jefferson.
The government tyrants do not fear the people, they sit behind barricades and armed guards and ride in armored cars.
