2024 Election - Thread #1

or her opponent dropping out of the race (one way or another)

Don't forget that if the Supreme Court rules that the President is actually a king of the sort unseen in Europe for more than a century, they are authorizing Biden to use assassination to protect the election...

I hate to say it, but... That's what your Second Amendment is for: taking up arms against somebody who you see as a despot. Actually doing so would wreck your country, but it's in your written Constitution.

No it's not.

The Second Amendment is not at all meant for individual citizens taking up arms against their own government.

Keep in mind the full text of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

This isn't talking about 'you can murder people for being despots', this is talking about 'we need to make sure that if we must call for a militia to defend their state/nation they can arm themselves properly'. And to no small extent it's a fossil piece of legislation, because the intended purpose of the militia has long been replaced by the army of the United States and the various states' National Guards.
