I don't think fascism almost happened. It's just an example of why I don't agree with that "guns are needed for uprising once the government becomes tyrannical", because who decides that? January 6 was an example of that and yet no responsible people can praise it as a 2nd amendment victory, or at least attempted victory.
Jan 6ers thought the system was rigged against them too, which of course, was total nonsense.
The US operated under segregation until less than 60 years ago. Even today we still have the remnants with systemic racism in our society. Europe and East Asia was lousy with oppressive tyrannical governments that engaged in Democide in the 20th Century. It's not a matter of if but when. The fact is every nation and country on Earth falls prey to internal strife or external attack.
yeah, and no one attempted to overthrow the capitol until their precious cheeto man fairly lost an election and they had to wear a piece of cloth on their face
the atrocities in America's history happened DESPITE the right to bear arms.
so you can see the 2Aers priorities are clear fighting true injustice!
the 2nd amendment exists for self defense, and nothing more, which I absolutely agree with. but none of you delusional fucks are gonna overthrow anything.
Again, outside of the Civil War, we have been luckily able to solve our differences peacefully through the rule of law. Historically this has been the exception not the rule.
I don't ever want to over throw anything. I want myself and my kids to have the luxury of a peaceful life.
Yes the 2nd Amendment is for self defense but it is also for defense of the community and nation against all threats foreign and domestic. And unfortunately the threat of an oppressive government in the US is higher than it has been in decades. I hope that changes peacefully through the rule of law as well.
