HOW IMPORTANT IS IT NOW?

Calls for Trump’s assassination.

Calls for a coup.

Calls for blowing up the White House.

Calls to secede.

So far, these have been the Liberals’ reactions to the new Presidency. And, while protests are normal (heck….they are a defining characteristic of the American culture), the number of violent incidences isn’t….at least, not since the 60’s.

Yet, here we are, it’s 2017, and a small, very hostile but very focused, group of Liberals is ready to stop this administration at any cost.

And, why? What is their motivation?

This new administration is "illegitimate". They "lied their way into power". They "manipulated the voting system". They "conspired with foreign powers to take over the country and are, as we speak, working with those powers to destroy this nation". This administration is in the "process of a complete power grab, which will render the courts and Congress irrelevant".

The rise of the next “Thousand Year Reich” is happening. RIGHT NOW.

…and it must be stopped!

Almost every time I have a conversation, post a piece on FB or on my blog, discussing some aspect of The Second Amendment, I’m generally laughed at or reminded about how stupid and ignorant I am. This happens, most often, when I discuss the Founders’ logic for enumerating that particular unalienable right. Then, I am mocked…..because I’m stupid to think that what concerned them  could EVER happen in today’s America.

But the fact remains: in the various writings and speeches of our Founders, defense against foreign invaders played a relatively minor role in the arguments for inclusion, as did hunting and personal protection.

The Founders’ greatest concern was tyranny.

Their concern was that, through manipulation of law, misuse of the military and the rendering meaningless of the vote, some government might establish, set aside our founding documents, and begin a dictatorship.

I’ve posted links, like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHIQtxLCgrM) of others who point out the Founders’ concerns; only to be laughed at and mocked as well (Morgan’s reactions are typical).

I’ve posted quotes from those Founders, and have been awarded laughter and hostility. Quotes like:

"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair."
- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28

So, here we are now, in 2017.

Liberals are DEEPLY concerned that a tyranny is rising.

So, I am compelled to ask:

Had you been successful in rendering the Second Amendment meaningless, and then Trump became President…

...and a tyranny IS rising...

…how, exactly, did you plan on stopping him? Harsh words, maybe? Diplomacy? A “million vagina march”?

HOW IMPORTANT IS THE SECOND AMENDMENT NOW?

Post script:

What I find most pathetic and, frankly, remarkable, about all this is that Liberals, the MOMENT a Democrat administration comes into power, will CONTINUE to push for the abolishment of the Second.

….I am increasingly convinced that some find captivity preferable to liberty.

For myself, I believe in Jefferson’s sentiments, and prefer a “…dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.”
