What's wrong with a violent uprising to overthrow democratically elected officials? Well, nothing if you live in Afghanistan.So what was WRONG with what he said?
Idiot.
Why do you think the founders wrote in that pesky little 'right to bear arms', Ravi? We not only have the right to overthrow our government, we have a duty to do so - should they overstep the authority WE grant to them.
It is worth noting though, that once you do raise arms you are breaking the law of the land and the consequences for that are on your own heads.
We're no where near the point of putting the "Second Ammendment Option" on the table. There's still the polling place, the courts, and the Constitutional Convention route that has yet to be tried. You still have your basic freedoms.
It's also worth noting: The "Second Ammendment Option" is an insane plan now. If Obama or Bush or any US President really and truly were a facist, they've legally got the power to monitor all of your electronic communications and they've got the most advanced military in the world at their disposal. Any rebellion in the USA versus a true despot would last 5 minutes thanks to the Patriot Act. If you think that Waco or Ruby Ridge was a show of brute force, a true despot would make you wish that was all that happened to you and your family.
People need to realize: You will not overthrow the US government with a bunch of shotguns and backwoods hunters. If a true power hungry despot gets in power, you'd best hope the military itself stops him. If he's backed by the military, you can bend over and kiss your @$$ good bye.
