So I'm scrolling through the comments section of "name an article about the Florida shooting" and I see a lot people handing out the good old argument that the 2nd Amendment is necessary to give us the tools to protect ourselves from the tyranny of oppressive government.
Problem is that the right to bear arms no longer matters if no one is actually willing to bear those arms. So many people these days will rage for hours about how the 2nd Amendment is necessary and about how we need our weapons to fight the government to protect our freedoms. But no one in the US seems willing to actually put their life on the line and stand up to the government to protect those freedoms. They'll riot and protest and say they'll do whats necessary when the time comes, but when push comes to shove they always meekly back down and slink away to their suburban houses. People these days have no conviction or backbone.
They aren't willing to die for what they believe in. How do you think the NVA and the VC stopped the US Army in vietnam? Or how the hungarians stood up to the Soviet army in 1952 or the poles at Warsaw in 1944? They were willing to fight and die for what they believed in. They died in droves but they still kept fighting. None of these fat, entitled, millenial, neckbearded modern American fucks would even be willing to break a leg for what they believed in!
Uprisings are not built off even odds, they're built off fighting spirit, clever tactics and the will of the people. Yes, many will die, yes, there is no certainty of victory, yes it will be hard, bloody and brutal. But that is what an uprising requires.
As long as the American people are not willing to accept that as a reality, then the 2nd Amendment is meaningless. There is no point in allowing people to own guns if they don't have the spines to use them for what they were made for.
Democracy dies when those who stand for it, can't muster the effort to uphold it.
yea thats nice but we just prevented shillary from being elected. Trump is in office with a republican majority.
What do you REALLY think is in need of fighting about right now? The meme war continues but thats the only war we need at this point.
Hunter Hill
I'm thinking long term here, like 5-10 years, we aren't going to have the god emperor forever
Justin Butler
He is asking for a summary
Michael Moore
Sum: theres no point allowing people to bear arms if they can't find the balls to stand up to the Gov when its necessary
Dominic Kelly
Last time it had to go so far that the British were shooting people in the streets and quartering soldiers in people's houses. The 2nd amendment preserves the possibility of civil defense and stopping tyranny. It's not a guarantee that you will. That part is up to you.
Ian Miller
Factual, I try to say this but no one understands.

There's four boxes essential for American Liberty: The Soapbox, The Ballot Box, The Jury Box, and The Bullet Box. Please try to use them in that order.
Gabriel Perry
The Soap box doesn't matter if people aren't willing to listen. The Ballot box doesn't matter if the parties rig the election or pour enough money in. The Jury box doesn't matter if the court is politically biased. that leaves the bullet box.
Blake Ortiz
This is why "Not another inch!" Is a real thing right now...
Most can see how close we are to the edge at this point...
Adam Russell
Life is still too comfortable. The examples you listed were people pushed into fighting for their lives.
Lincoln Campbell
Reminder that corporations are the new oppressors of the people, not the government.
The government needs to be used to bring corporations that abuse their positions of authority over the people to heel
Ayden Reyes
Which is why people don't act until its too late
Camden Clark
Thats reality in general. No one is going to give up everything until there is nothing left to lose. It will happen one day at this rate, and if you hand over your arms, I assure you the war will be pointed in your direction.
Ian Collins
Best victory won is from a battle never fought, desu.
Kevin Jackson
We need a strong leader that can rally us together. Trump could be this person, but he is a typical politician doing everything he can to get re-elected.
We need a revolutionary right now - think Andrew Jackson. We need to stop playing by the rules while we drown in the demographic tide. The time for talking is past us - we need strong fearless action knowing good and well that the majority of the military and law enforcement is on our side.
Julian Torres
This is exactly why (((they))) bailed us out of the financial crisis in 2009 and implemented QE/interest rate reduction.
Andrew Davis
STFU COMMIE SOCIALIST FUCK
Dylan Lee
Corporations are enabled by politicians. Corporations have money - politicians have power. The burden is on politicians to not give in to corruption so crony capitalism doesn’t destroy the free market economy. Corporations will play the game the best they can to create as much value/profit as possible - it is polciticans job to protect competition/meritocracy.
Environmental protection is an entirely different, more complicated discussion...
Thomas Smith
Very true, the problem is career politicians. They see crony capitalism as one big easy bonus paycheck. What we really need, is idealists who truly believe in the traditions of the nation and can't be so easily corrupted.
Jonathan Butler
At this point, all we're waiting for is someone inspiring with charisma and a vision to rally behind. That, and a spark to light the powderkeg

Nicholas Butler
This last 4 years, with all our victories, we aren't going to win by playing their game. We have to play our own game. Let's get this shit started. In the dirt, and the blood, and the snow. That is where we thrive. 100,000 years in the fire taught us what? If they want war, lets give them war, hell we invented it.
Carter Carter
>None of these fat, entitled, millenial, neckbearded modern American fucks would even be willing to break a leg for what they believed in!
This right here. Modern people in this country are too far gone.

Nobody will fight as long as life is comfortable.
Lincoln Cooper

Oliver Morales
the problem is right now, the (((bad guys))) want us to erupt in a civil war. trump is actually trying to hold us together long enough to get actual shit done both at home and abroad. for we lowly pawns, now is the time to wait, to sharpen our blades, and to watch for the signal. if all goes according to plan, we've bought ourselves a few years. i hate the waiting, but now isn't the time to call to arms.
Adrian Russell
No more gun control, no more gay shit, no more poz, no more brown people. The slippery slope was real. they want to eradicate me and my culture and my family and I am sick of it. Not another inch, I don't care what the consequences are. Fuck everything about the left. Not one more God damned inch on anything.
Fuck the right that does shit like fund African mission trips, Fuck the right that shoves hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans into Florida. Fuck the cucks too.
Kayden Taylor
What you meant to say here is that democracy is a sham. Sure democracy back in the founding Father’s Day worked but in post modern (((democracy))) Ben franklin and Tyrone don’t exactly see eye to eye
Isaac Mitchell
There is a difference between civil war, and playing dirty.
Dylan Evans
There's really no reason to revolt. Our problems are minuscule, blown way out of proportion by MSM and hyperventilating mental cases on social media.
If we actually faced significant oppression or hardship things would be different. It would be foolish to give up our option of last resort because we're in a local maxima of comfort and don't need it right now.
Wyatt Stewart
This is true. Americans are a bunch of pussies, You have all of the tools necessary to “drain the swamp” instead you guys are like “nahh I’ll just vote for a guy and he will do everything”. My question is did any of you Americans actually think that Trump was going to get rid of USA’s corruption (mind you that this corruption was and still is building up and exists in every govt agency) Even if Trump were to scratch the surface he is destined to fail because the whole system is against him.

>larping about an uprising due to the 2A >talking about democracy like it's alive and is a good thing
Boomer poster the TD fags need to get out. 2A is fine it's not going away as much as these Jews wish it was. They can buy out as many neocons as they want to switch sides, but the sheer number of civilian supporters it has will prevent a gun grab from ever happening.

Sorry Cletus. Even to the rest of the country your region is an inbred, dirty, humid shit hole by almost every metric.
Jackson Bennett
And how do you think that is going to be prevented?
Jason Miller
The modern individual is deceptively capable of mass change, allowing one knows what to do and how. Society can no longer behave as intended but it is not quite broken. It may feel that way but we are still here shitposting and the average 60yo fat white woman neolib is still shoving herself with cake in political defiance. If circumstances no longer allow for that to happen in earnest, we will succeed.
Ian Morales
So long as WalMart and Krogers are full of food and there is plenty of fuel, no revolution.
Leo Walker
Some are; Clive Bundy and various armed militias stared down the feds and won.
Brody Hill
I and 2 people I know just bought our first salt rifles you dumb faggot shill.
Molon Labe!
Aiden Peterson
Dude I just skimmed that but "putting your life on the line" to protect gun rights is exactly what the left wants to bait gun owners into. Hell, I'm surprised they haven't false flagged or staged an attack with the motive of "saving the 2nd".
Owen Carter
...until you typed it.
Christian Rodriguez
Give em time, they'll figure it out eventually
Matthew Flores
It could also be because people are content and don't really have a reason for an uprising.
Jayden Allen
>kek flag >dude just die for ur guns lmao the FBI really needs to tone down its shitposting, I'm not buying your bullshit fed

So you are a concerned citizen?
Joseph Scott
When they put one more law on the federal books, be patient and hope it does not come to that this year. Be ready to move when the fire rises, do not fail the bravery of the messengers.

Whiskey Rebellion, Battle of Athens
Wyatt Anderson
>Battle of Athens the one that happened in acient times?
While it is true that the white man has become a subdued bitch that can't fight for what it believes in, there is still a point in owning guns : self defense, just having fun shooting at the range, hunting, collecting, etc.
Even if people aren't willing to fight for their rights, that doesn't mean they should be disarmed. Why else would politicians be so bent on banning guns? Because they still fear a armed populace regardless. Despite all the brainwashing, the bread and circus they've given to people, they are still scared that people might disagree with them, and that they would actually fight back when a governmental force is sent to crush the opposition.
Nathan Baker
ain't nobody starving in the streets nigger. people are getting better jobs and wages. Trump calls on God openly. Regulations are being repealed. People are literally starting to hate kikes more and more. We are winning, why would we fuk that up with a war? like, go outside nigger, take a break and chill out nigger. Take heart, things are actually getting better
>Problem is that the right to bear arms no longer matters if no one is actually willing to bear those arms Good luck rounding up citizens and putting them into gulags en masse when they are the most armed populace in the history of the planet.
There may not be a revolutionary war being waged (right now), but you can bet you top dollar that if US citizens were unarmed, Whites would already have been rounded up into FEMA camps/gulags.
By the way, a lone gunman tried to shoot up the NSA headquarters the other day. The (((MSM))) is memory holing it because they don't want a full blown revolution to break out.
Landon James
Wait.. so youre saying that the collectivist mentality of Communism beats the individualistic mentality of capitalism?
Who wouldve thought...
Aaron Diaz
op, are you a fed?
Jacob Cox
>many will die what, are gun-grabbing liberals gonna go around knifing people? They'd get shot.
Guns ARE a necessary tool, just like cars, just like knives. Not my fault that some right-wing neo-nazi supremacist extremist uses it to kill a bunch of children.
