    not enough of you Lefties own guns

    I think you’d be surprised how many do. But guns aren’t magic. I haven’t seen anyone clearly articulate what we do with our guns that we have.

    Not the least bit because anyone bold enough to try is kicked off the site.

    Curiously enough, the 2nd amendment is less useful than the 1st

      Isn’t the whole point of 2A to empower the whole people to put down a tyrannical government?

        No. It is to empower local militias to take land from unincorporated native peoples.

        Absent the legal authority to communicate your grieveness, congregate a movement in opposition, and define your ideological tenants free from persecution, how do you build up a militia with which to resist a tyrannical state?

        Unless you’re psychic, there’s no way to mobilize a mass movement. The best you can do as a lone gunman is stocastic violence.
