The second amendment doesn't guarantee jack diddly. Its meaning is under threat at any time. The right to rebel is not guaranteed. That's a right you don't ask permission to excercise.

Its meaning may be under threat but take it away and see what happens. It's a right that will be enforced by the people not against the people.

We have had enough and if the USSC can't read the tea leaves or see what is blowing in the wind then its up to the people. A Constitutional Convention would be a mistake. I don't trust the domestic enemies to do anything in a fair and just manner.

If you want to hand over your guns and Constitution go ahead, I'm prepared to keep mine and honor our forefathers who founded this great nation and fought for it over the last 200 plus years. I feel sorry for you, go ahead live on your knees, if you call that living.

I'm not saying that. Quite the opposite. I'm saying when it comes to the right to abolish or resist the government, you don't ask for permission. And though the 2nd amendment declares an existing natural right, it is in fact at risk, in legal terms. So you don't rely on legal terms to protect a natural right which is under threat. You don't rely on the government to protect your right to resist the government. That's absurd.
