I have been thinking about this for some time now. When will we know when its time for a sort of revolution? I mean, doesnt the constitution say that it's our duty as citizens of the United States to overthrow the government if it ever becomes tyrannical, and to reestablish the rights that were taken from us? Such as the Right to Bear Arms, and how it is being so hotly debated. I for one am pretty worried that if we get Hillary or Obama, its only going to get worse. It may start out as microstamping and manditory trigger locks, but it think it will only get worse from there. How will we know when its time for a revolt? Is it time when they try to take our guns? I'm not talking about "Well if they try to take my guns I'll go down fighting." I'm talking about a large, organized, focused, and well structured force of armed citizens standing against the government and taking back the rights that were stolen from us. How would it even get started if it even needs to? Are we to expect someone to just stand up and declare a revolt, and wait and see if he gets enough people thinking? To quote Thomas Jefferson:
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...
And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure."
Makes sense to me. Im not trying to sound like some insane extremist, but I just don't want to see our country go down the drain. Thanks for reading everyone!
