1. I don't know if you know this, but in this republic, it's "Majority rules." Majority in this instance is more than half, as half the people are divided by simple ideologies.
2. What rights have been taken away from you?
3. I'm not asking specific marks, I'm talking about who do you view as the enemy? Don't tell me it's just as simple as just "them." I would like to believe that someone who is talking as if he's going to partake in a revolution would be more intelligent and introspective than that.
But if someone acts on those words, and comes for me just because I disagree, Im not going to bow my head, hold out my hands for cuffs, and go along. Would you?

"Rights" are a word.
The only rights we have that are absolutely inalienable are to breath, thoughs, and movement and even those can be taken away from us. That is what is in jeopary here. Gunning people down isn't a way to achieve that.
What would a bunch of uncoordinated people with guns, shooting down innocent people serving the federal government, preaching about a "revolution" do for the rest of us?
You want to see your guns taken away?
You want to see everybody monitored?
You want to see you stripped of so called "rights?"
Being an uneducated jackass on a rampage with a rifle would ensure all of your fears of your government come to life in short order.

You disagree with the taxation, so you're ready for war? Using a hint of rational thought, I'd have to ask, Rambo, what kind of world would your children you work so hard for be if this country went to #?
You wouldn't have to work because there'd be no job. You wouldn't have to pay for private school, because THERE'D BE NO PRIVATE SCHOOL. If you want to talk realistically, what if it was those very same children who become casualities in the crossfire? What if your home is taken away from you and leveled because you were declared an "enemy of the state; domestic terrorist."
What would life be like then?
