    Yes, exactly right. You do not need the /s at all because that is the purpose of 2A.

      that doesn’t work though when at least half of the 2nd amendment supporters voted for fascism. What are they going to do, take up arms against the party they voted into power themselves?

        This exactly. These fascists will point their guns squarely at liberals and Democrats in the name of their country.

        Remember when Trump said he could shoot a person in Times Square and get away with it?

        His supporters loved him for that because they want to do this too. They want to get away with murdering people.

        Make no mistake: we will have another coup if Trump is “elected”. The question is will there be enough people to stand up and rise against it.

        I hate to say it but I’m not optimistic on that.

        I am still curious how it works in their mind. They see troops deployed and they what exactly, random acts of terrorism? Like you look at the places that led successful guerilla campaigns against real militaries and they are all in places where real poverty is rampant. Not talking about you live in a trailer and work at Target. More like you grow opium in some valley in Afghanistan or rice in Vietnam. Remember the Bundy Ranch guys ordering takeout?

        I can’t see any gun owner I know just deciding to go live in the woods, willing to survive on what food they can salvage while getting their own kids to plant landmines.
