[[The States knew that “PEOPLE” with “ARMS” would “WELL REGULATE” the Federal “MILITIA”!]]
Sure- the government will sometimes back down from armed confrontations with citizens (sometimes)- but then the government WILL railroad those citizens by arresting them and keeping them in prison for many years without a trial like they did to bundy and his associates- Heck- the government will even set up ambushes and murder some of them like they did to Lavoy Finicum
Sure, its not perfect and we must work within the law, while some people abuse the color of law and abuse the constitution. Lavoy was murdered by an abusive FBI and state police on his way to a friendly Sherriff. While he may have been right in his principals, he died for not obeying law enforcement which abused their authority and fired on innocent people not posing a threat and he was killed under color of law, but unjustly so.
The Nevada Jury for the second time in the Bundy Federal trial just acquitted the four people accused of conspiracy. Two immediately freed and two other waiting to see if the government will try a third time. The people in this case saw through the government abuse and found the defendants innocent.
Those of us that live in states like California with nearly communistic legislatures full of super majority democrats are passing unconstitutional laws that take years to go through the courts and often times the most overturned circuit court (9'th) in the nation lets California get away with it and when the SCOTUS does not act we are left to be outlaws in our own state and nation or risk going to jail for ignoring unconstitutional laws. Or in many cases the Sherriff in a given county ignore the state laws as well and do not enforce them.
In any case Breyer is dishonest in his assertions as he is most of the time trying to impose his own liberal views. It does not change God's law and our own Declaration of Independence of the right of self defense and liberty.
