I am aware of how a constitutional republic works. However, we are no longer constitutional democratic republic. America has been changed into a country where the will of a federal judge trumps hundreds of thousands of legitimate votes. I realize my intro is pretty preposterous (at this point in time), however we are headed down the road that leads to that type of injustice. If Americans do not unite against our government regardless of beliefs and values our government will be our downfall. Which is the reason the government has purposefully divided us. No force on Earth can stop a *United* States of America. A *Divided* States of America however is eating itself alive.
We don’t elect anyone, there were districts in 2012 that went 100% democrat. There were districts that had counted more votes than registered voters in said districts. Stuffing ballot boxes after the booths close, modifying computer voting systems, and intimidating your opposition gets you in power. The only reason it isn’t a wide spread belief that America IS under Tyranny is because a good front is put up. America today is the ultimate most successful Potemkin village ever created.
Back on track however the government will eventually come for the guns. We aren’t soft enough yet, but give it maybe another decade, or two. Possibly a crushed revolution or coup, and people will be willingly handing over their weapons to the feds.
Because a point will come when all patriotism, and strength has been bred from us.
Quite to the contrary, I think that far from insulating good citizens, it would only serve to speed the passage of more restrictive gun laws on everyone, as you are providing no other choice. Frankly, taking guns away from people who have feloniously used firearms strikes me as an actual common sense gun law.
You want to give the public an ultimatum that they must allow convicted rapists and thieves to be fully armed, or they must disarm everyone. Sorry, but I'm not about to draw myself into that death trap.
A man who has robbed a bank or raped a woman with a gun has lost his rights by his own choice, and deservedly so. I will not tie my destiny to his with the odd notion that if he is punished, I cannot be free.
