“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” -- Thomas Jefferson
Just about every use of armed opposition to the government is illegal. Like WAY illegal. But if the Founders gave us the 2nd Amendment just in case things went off the rails, who decides when that time has arrived? And is there any legal provision for armed insurrection against a tyrannical US government?
Anti-government groups are increasingly using the words 'persecution,' and 'tyranny.' If they think they're justified doing so, armed rebellion or insurrection seems plausible. Already seen it on individual and small group scales. From the couple murdering law enforcement a year or so ago, to the father and son shooters who murdered law enforcement to better known incidents like Ruby Ridge, Branch Davidians, and others.
