"The colonies shall not be emancipated..."

Beto responded to a question by Evan MacDonald with, “One of the best arguments I’ve heard for the second amendment is that the second amendment is intended to ensure that the American public if they need to, can provide a check on a Tyrannical government”
THEN stated, "we can't arm ourselves efficiently enough to fight against a Tyrannical Government and we are going to need more than an AR-15."
He then concluded with, "If it is a right to be able to rise up or stand up against your government, I don't accept that, that's not my reading of the constitution."
First of all, what do you mean the best argument? That’s not the best argument, it’s THE argument.
It’s literally what the second amendment says. A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. It’s literally part of the constitution.
As a matter of fact, it’s one of the only amendments that actually tells you why it exists and yet this sophomoric human being is acting like the bill of rights was a suggestion at Golden Corral Buffett.
Secondly, Using your example of the Trail of Tears, guess who had the guns in that situation? The government.
The same government, that to the Native Americans, was being tyrannical.
Robert, you’re literally making the case for why we need these guns and why the native Americans needed those guns, but you’re too stupid to realize that you’re using a story about tyranny to defend your plan to take the guns away.
Robert, you know who else thought the ruling government of the time was too powerful to be beaten by a bunch of regular citizens? The British.
Who do you think the US military is comprised of, cyborgs?
Most of the people yelling come and take it are veterans. You really think the military is just going to go along with this tyranny?
Not to mention two morons with handguns shut down the city of Boston where the people there barely have guns, and you think you’re going to take on middle America where they have more guns than food?
Making the argument we can't arm ourselves efficiently enough to fight against a Tyrannical Government and we are going to need more than an AR-15 is by far the most dangerous evil argument in response to the second amendment anyone can make. Any politician making this argument is the human representation for why the second amendment exists in the first place.
Imagine telling a woman who wants a gun to protect herself from being raped, "buying a gun is pointless because men are bigger and stronger and will just take away the gun and rape you anyway. So, you should just comply and hope he doesn’t kill you after he rapes you."
That’s literally what Beto is saying with this argument. You can’t beat the tyrannical government so just lay down and take it.
We don’t just lay down for tyranny because the odds are against us.
So there you have it folks, a man running to be the most powerful position on the planet does not believe that YOU HAVE A RIGHT to rise up against a tyrannical government in a country where in the first paragraph of their declaration for independence wrote this.
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
How can anyone take this guy seriously? Is the left that stupid?
This is a level of stupid on a whole other plane of existence.
"The colonies shall not be emancipated..."
Says the guy who lives in a country that fought the Revolutionary War.
And won.

“Stupidity dense enough to bend light”.
Samuel Adams
Who is footing the bill for this clown to run?
Beto...the A$$wipe that keeps on giving!
The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.
But, I imagine he WOULD HAVE had it crossed his mind.
Yes.
Speaking of this... i have been sidelined by my husband’s open heart surgery... What is in prez Trumps gun control package? Did I miss the detailed release?
“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another ...That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...”
They can’t wait to mass exterminate us... Nonetheless we shall stand for the one right that guarantees the all others for all people. True equality in the face of tyranny.
Beto: People can’t fight a Tyrannical Government nor do they have the right to

Wasn’t it HRC that said it was HER duty as a Senator to buck authority but when BO took it away from her and appointed her SofS that she basically told us to shut up, buck up and let the ‘BOY’ speak?
UNTIL PDJT that is.
Like Chris Plante is wont to say
‘Were it not for double standards, Libs would have no standards at all’.
C’mon Dem politicians..let’s do this .. Make America April 12th 1861 again!
Get on it Chucky and crew
He’s stupid, desperate, and a leftist. That makes him dangerous. I believe he is desperate for attention and just trying to keep his campaign alive. When he started making the anti 2nd Amendment comments he was polling in 7th place among the ‘rats. Once he started this BS he briefly rose in the polls, to be tied for 6th with Yang. (I know, “who?” right?) But I think it has started to backfire on him, he’s slid back to 7th place, and lost 0.3% since this started. I don’t think he can stop. Without this notoriety he disappears. So we’re going to have to put up with his maddening un Constitutional blathering a while longer. At least he has energized the 2nd Amendment supporters. We’re all riled up saying “See, we told you they were lying! They are coming for our guns!” Beto has lost ground in the polls relative to the other rats, but he’s probably push President Trump’s numbers up. That makes me smile.
