Yeah, this pretty much hits one what I've been thinking, having read how this thread has evolved. No govt. is going to announce you have the right to rebel -- every nutcake with some weird black helicopter theory would take advantage.gc70 said:Of course the government prohibits people from organizing for the purpose of fighting the government; it would be folly for government to facilitate the activities of would-be rebels. But the Founders were not deterred by the fact that King George did not issue a "Weekly Practice for Revolution" decree.
The people's right to arms remains and, with it, the inherent right for people to spontaneously choose to band together to fight tyranny, just as the Founders did.
If you want to rebel....well, let's say that the "tyranny" better be real, and you STILL have to win! Just remember that history is only written by the winners -- the losers turn to dust and blow away in the wind of history....
