Wake me when anything like that happens.
So in other words you’re saying if a bunch of armed left wingers tried to overthrow the government, law enforcement and military would have no problem using lethal force to stop them, but if its a bunch of armed right wingers trying to overthrow the government the law enforcement and the military would disobey orders to use lethal force to stop them and some might possibly switch sides and join them?
They would lose.The right is better armed. And we’re better shots. The left doesn’t like guns.

You have no opinion?
Amazing how little libs know about background checks and buying guns.
Let me guess. You have no idea about how many Liberals own guns?

There are plenty on the left into guns.
By whom?
FBI data reported by the AP.
You have no opinion?
Yes. My opinion is it would take hundreds of thousands of highly organized people to do this. And that will never happen. It can’t be done by a couple hundred unarmed nit wits running amok in the capitol for two hours.

Really? The same people who want to ban AR-15’s also own large numbers of AR-15’s?
Who knew?

So you don’t subscribe to the idea that one of the purposes of the 2nd amendment is to arm citizens so they can overthrow a “tyrannical” government?

Thank you.

I do. But I also think that the government knows they cannot fully control an armed public. I don’t see them pushing if far enough to cause a rebellion. But you never know.

Are there? What does that mean, “into guns”?

Yes. It means they’re into guns. Like them, use them, collect them, etc.

How does a member of the military decide if an order is appropriate?
I did take an oath to “render obedience to all appropriate orders.” I’m not an expert. But you could probably research it. My guess would be they take it on a case by case basis.
So is it basically a jurisdiction thing? Like police, national guard, FBI, can kill Americans considered a threat, but for the rest of the military to do it they’d first have to be declared non-Americans… like an act of secession? And therefore nukes and F-15s wouldn’t be used on Americans because they’d have to be declared non-Americans before the parts of the military that have access to those weapons would get involved?
Ah the only war the left actually wants to fight.

Strange. I guess I’m not “into guns” so much. Use them for what?
Are you under the impression the 2nd has anything to do with collecting?

Strange, you seem like someone who likes guns and firing them.

No.

The left likes Antifa wars. Where antifa gets to pillage and burn and the cops get to watch.
If said government is grossly violating the fundamental rights of its citizens it is no longer worthy of the title “government by the people” and it is the obligation of the people to set up a new government that will perform its duty.
Why would you side with the state in a scenario like that?
