Sort of. We do not (or supposedly do not) live in a democracy. We have a republican form of government. A very important distiction. I read the reach for the ammo box statement as a last resort. People, as individuals or as groups, will be pushed only so far. Once beyond a certain point, they rebell. As in the Declaration of Independence.
Exactly where that line is drawn, I am not sure. History teaches us that it happens quite often. There have been mutitudes of rebellions throughout history.
We have unalienable rights granted us by our Creator, not our government. The power craving political creatures of the Swamp would be wise to remember it so.
JMHO, of course.
You are right. We live in a constitutional democracy, with protections for the rights of individuals and political minorities. Among those rights of individuals are those described by the Second Amendment to the Constitution, the exact application of which is determined by the Supreme Court.
Given the success in appointing Supreme Court justices of political party that expresses the most support for a broad interpretation of the Second Amendment, I have no idea why people here think that their gun rights are "currently in dire jeopardy", as someone remarked in a different thread. By the same token, I also cannot see why "state nullification", a legal fantasy proposed by those who have given up trying to succeed at the national ballot box, is being discussed here.
Therefore, I am disturbed by this talk about revolution. That seems like a sure way to turn people against your cause and ensure your political defeat, which could over time result in significant changes to the Supreme Court, leading you to Layyr McDonald's (whom I do not know, BTW) fourth option - ammo. I have to say, I think that people who talk about revolution for Second Amendment reasons have never experienced armed conflict in real life or read realistically about it.
As for rights guaranteed by our Creator, well, the Founding Fathers agreed with you about that. But I have no idea if the right to keep and bear arms was included among them. There seems to be little consensus about just what our Creator has decreed about many things, and I am afraid firearms are among those.
PS - Thank you for the civility of your reply, Poper. I know that I often become too heated in discussions like this and wind up saying things that are mean-spirited and negative. I will re-read this post and try to remove anything that seems spiteful or ill considered.
PPS - Is Layyr's name really Larry? I do not mean to nitpick about a typo, but it would help me Google him.
