    This Is Why We Have The Second Amendment

    ...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

    If there was ever an example of the reason why the Founders included the Second Amendment in the Constitution of the United States, the greatest document ever devised to protect the liberty of human beings, the current spectacle of the Democrat Marxist power grab in America is it.

    There are many misconceptions about the amendment, many of which are promoted by the Left. The main misconception, or false narrative, is the amendment is meant to provide for self defense, or hunting. Nothing could be further from the truth. Although those reasons are of secondary benefit, the primary reason for the amendment's existence is to protect citizens from a tyrannical government.

    If what we are seeing today is not an attempt at tyranny by the Left in this country, I don't know what is.

    We are witnessing an illegal coup against the duly-elected president of the United States, orchestrated by a Marxist Deep State, installed by Obama, in order to destroy the American founding. Trump is the only thing that stands in the way of this diabolical plot, except of course those millions of armed Americans.

    Why do you think they want your guns so badly?

    This is exactly what the amendment is meant to protect against.

    The scenario the Democrats envision is to remove the people's choice for leadership (they never accepted that Donald Trump won the election) and then take away the ability for you to defend yourself when they install their communist, totalitarian society, just like we are seeing in China, enabled by their big tech, Deep State supporters.

    Thomas Jefferson had no idea that Google and Facebook would one day rule what you could see or hear, but he could imagine another circumstance where dictatorial leaders could seize power and then impose their will on the people -- hence the Second Amendment.

    We need the amendment now more than ever, not less.

    Educate your children.

    The Deep State will never be prosecuted into non existence. It has been growing in scope, size and complexity since the last Civil War. There will be a few low level lackeys put on the sacrificial altar of justice but, for the most part, since all of the justice and legislative branches of government have been taken over already, the "purge" that Trump has attempted to pull off will amount to nothing but a speed bump in the road to the Communist globalization of the world. Every once in a long while the flag needs to be refreshed with the blood of Patriots and tyrants. If Mr Trump loses his most important battle, 2020, the once in a while will be on us sooner than later.

    ELF

    Sadly, Mr. Baggins , you are all too correct .
    And since here at last is a comments section that I DON'T have to belong to Fakebook or some other
    form of social media to use ( because one's comment is of no value if you don't belong to the herd )
    I at last have an opportunity to point out something that I feel most have overlooked .
    Atty. Gen. Barr IS part of the DEEP STATE !
    He will not be coming to our rescue and indicting anyone , far from it . He will let them slide just as Comey let
    Hillary slide . Count on that !
    Have a look into his background and you'll see what I mean .

    I'd join a militia to help take back our country and I'm far, far from alone.

    The true purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to avoid a permanent standing army and permanent large defense Industry that eventually bankrupts the nation and then takes over in a COUP. We have a permanent NAVY to defend our coasts, with Marines to support limited ground actions. A permanent Army means permanent WAR, and NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY. The BUDGET is supposed to be used for governing & SUPPORTING America & Americans. A well-armed militia takes the place of a standing army in putting down INSURRECTION and initially repelling invaders, and saves the nation the enormous waste of maintaining an army without any real need for one. The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing. Rome did not allow the army Legions to even enter the city, for fear of a military coup/takeover of the whole Roman Empire, by seizing Rome. We now have 23 Trillion in debt, and a budget that spends some 40% of it, every year, on the permanent defense industry & Army. You are MISLED.

    well, we are not misled, we are well-educated, but we will allow you to post your links... 😉

    The Dems aren't trying to install tyranny through an illegal coup. Quite the opposite; they are trying to hold Trump accountable as he and the GOP creep towards tyranny.

    It is almost funny that you say Trump was duly elected by the will of the people, after conservatives have spent the last couple years ranting about how "we're a republic, not a democracy", so the will of the people isn't what matters, but rather the will of the States.

    In the last few days we've heard about how Trump asked a foreign leader for a favour against a political rival. If Congress doesn't remove him from office now, just how much does he have to do before they will?

    Your comment is fraudulent as it is based on false premise. Premise you undoubtedly heard from your main stream media outlet. And whether you are aware or not they are not reliable as a source of factual information. Nothing in the conversation could be construed as Trump asking for a "favour" from a foreign leader to be used against a political rival. And you apparently have not read the dialogue so you are therefore shooting from the hip. Not a good idea on a public forum such as this.

    And I'm of the opinion that,if you want to reduce killing, on the streets of Chicago, and elsewhere, move that "Though shalt not kill " down the list.
    Instead, replace it with the, "Though shalt not covet, and add, thy neighbors ATM, or EBT card, his Nike sneakers, his access to trauma centers, and his Bling.
    Do that, especially the trained Doctors, and the killing will eventually evaporate, on their own.

    After the news of no prosecution for Macabe, I dont beiieve any of the major players will ever be held accountable. A few lower level people will take one for he team, and thats it1 I dont know what side AG Barr is on. Letting both Comey and Macabe off the hook is despicable and insulting. There is indeniable evidence in the form of email, texts, and other documents, that both men were deeply involved in a coup, it happened, we all know it happened, and the AG let them go, why? AG Barr should stop Durhams investigating and send him back to Conn. As a matter of fact, stop all investigations into everything! Why? Because no one is going to be prosecuted for anything, UNLESS your a Trump supporter, then you get crucified and humiliated. Im wondering, do any of these people ever stop and think about the manner in which they have conducted themselves? I thought there would be at least 1 person who would have a crisis of concious, someone who would come forward and tell what they knew in order to save the republic. NO ONE from the deepstate, democrat party, fbi, nsa, cia, us military, civil service, etc has come forward, NOT 1, that disturbs me more than anything else. Where are the men of honor and integrity? I have watched our society sink deeper and deeper into ME ism. They have a sense of entitlement, and the rules dont apply to them. They look down upon and make fun of good men who do the next right thing all the time. They mock patriotism and feign common sense. They support communism and they are working tirelessly to bring communism to America. Im worried, I will never ever ever ever conform to a socialist govt. I suspect I have already been identified as a problem and I have a seat reserved on a FEMA bus to genocide, so be it, I will do as William Wallace, I shall shout at the top of my lungs - FREEDOM!!!! I will scream it until they silence me. The millenials are the driving force generation behind all this. They are lazy and they are really really stupid. I know, I have 3 grown sons in their 30s who are absolute morons and for whom I cant talk to anymore without wanting to slap the snot of them. So we just stay away from each other. I fundamentally disagree with everything they say and believe. My sister has decided that she is going to vote for Bernie Sanders. She is smart and a well rounded person, unfortunately she has fallen prey to our Aunt, who is a retired US State Dept Foreign Service Officer, need I say more? The divide between Americans is no longer something we can fix/ One side will exert its will on the other, and the loser will be forced to conform, or DIE
