Is this not the reason the second amendment exists? Regards An Australian Edit: I’m not advocating for violence. More so “a well regulated militia” which could be established by protesters or Democratic Governors for genuine self defence.

    This would be grounds to incite a civil war.

    Also, the second amendment gives us the right to assassinate our leaders. Problem is, nobody is trying, except the fool who missed Trump.

      The second amendment gives us the right to assassinate our leaders?

      Is there precedent for that? Several Presidents have been assassinated, and I believe all of the assassins were killed or prosecuted or both.

        The Constitution agrees that yes, you should assassinate your leaders from tyranny.

        But if you ask them and the law? They won’t agree. So it isn’t like you’re free from the consequences of that action.
