Laugh in derision? Wait 24 hours for the news that someone had killed the fool that done it? :mrgreen:
 
what if the 2nd Amendment wasn't overturned, but the Federal or State government simply passed a new gun-regulation, or banned another gun from being purchased/owned by the public?

would that too justify murdering Congressmen/ State Legislators?

should folks who voted for the Brady Bill be assassinated?

I guess you haven't figured out that banning the second amendment already got us there

like I said, even if the 2nd Amendment was over-turned by a new Amendment to the Constitution, there are still legal & peaceful ways to address such a grievance. Wanting to jump straight to mass-murder is well...unAmerican.

Should we have had a violent revolution to undo Prohibition? There was no need, as it was over-turned by another Amendment to the Constitution.

See? the system does work.

there are lots of people who need shooting. The only issue is it worth the cost

Like I said, every time a car backfired that fool would need an underwear change. Hell, they may not even get shot, the stress might kill 'em.

The President & Congress can't pass an Amendment to the Constitution without the consent of 3/4ths of the State legislatures.

And if they pass gun-rules the people do not support, they can put new folks into office to undo their actions.

There is no rational, logical, nor reasonable reason to immediately resort to violence to redress such a thing..unless one is simply looking to start **** and kill people.

But again, this thread simply enables the paranoid fantasies of right-wing extremists.

Yeah and we passed an amendment to ban all alcohol with 3/4 of the legislature and we passed a act that violated the 4th amendment, what's your point? It's certainly possible.

And you assume that new politicians would replace it but who knows power usually doesn't like to return rights. Also by then most of the arms would be collected and our personal property lost and many deaths may happen from resistance.

Sounds like to me you'd let the government take every right you have in order not to have a confrontation, well let me tell you this country was made on war and revolution and if you think I would just let people strip me of my rights and act like everythings ok your insane. Also I'm sorry to dissapoint but I'm not a extremist conservative at all infact I would define myself as a FDR and JFK progressive. Two men who weren't afraid of war and violence at all but cared generally about the rights and inequalties of this nation.

that's an adorable strawman you just made.

;)



....and it shows the utter sillyness of this thread. There will never be a Constitutional Amendment banning the right to bear arms by the public.

So i'm sure Stalin, Hitler, Kim jon, and the leaders of most Arab countries have alot of people that don't agree with them too because of tyranny. And if they attempt to kill them yeah it's muder but it's justified murder. Our country made the second amendment because of British tyranny and yes it's possible to have American tyranny. So learn history and why we have this amendment in the first place.

using violence to address political grievances, when peaceful & legal means exist, is a form of tyranny...and a form of terrorism.
 
Well then I have nothing more to say to you because that statement stands against everything the fore-fathers believed.

did our Founding Fathers have legal & peaceful means to truly address their grievances against the Crown?

no, no they did not.

you're comparing apples with grains of salt.

not the OP of this thread. it says nothing about the 2nd being over-turned and the people having no legal & peaceful means to address this.

now, in a paranoid parallel universe, where Congress and the President can overturn an Amendment to the Constitution without the consent of the States, and the people have no legal & peaceful means to address this, then yes.....it might be time to rise up.

but this is in a paranoid parallel universe, so who cares.
 
do you actually have any point Thunder?

I believe people tried that when the democrats signed the brady bill into law and republicans replaced them.As far as I know no one made a meaningful attempt to repeal the Brady Bill even when Bush was in office and the assault weapons ban expired on its own.

yes. Congress passed the Brady Bill, and folks who didn't like it put different people into power.

see? no need for mass-murder.
