Should our government stop serving the people it is our obligation to remove that government from power and replace it with one that upholds the Constitution of the United States. - See more at: http://cellar.org/amend2-arg.html#sthash.q8WuIxnl.dpuf
Doesn't The "Patriot" Act define that as treason?

And the author's point about a similarly trained and armed populace is my point. The gov has much better toys than joe average and far better and more comprehensive training.

I see a slippery slope of blood.

I still think the whole gun violence thing that many object to is better addressed by eliminating poverty, and ignorance. Maybe all the gun violence we are seeing is in fact a revolution only happening in slow motion.

If so, the slow motion revolution is aimed at the wrong people. Maybe that's where addressing ignorance would come in to play.

Jesus said "The poor are always with us"
Apparently, and translated and paraphrased.

Same with the ignorant I guess. And the aggressive and the violent.
The above isn't about anyone here or their views, I'm writing abut the fringe.
