I think the problem is that those who like to flaunt the second amendment as their patriotic civic duty are the same group that believes Trump can do no wrong. Until most of those fringe right wing militia types are convinced he has to go no action will be taken on their part.
That said I don’t think guns are the answer to the problem at this juncture. Let’s face it, if it comes down to a matter of firepower the US Armed Forces will win every time. The US military budget is more than the GDP of most countries. There are no circumstances where a bunch of hillbillies with guns will ever win that fight.
I would like to point to the sheer number of times that a ‘bunch of hillbillies with guns’ trounced the fuck out of our military just through sheer endurance, stealth, and decentralization.
whats the point of the second amendment?
It was more useful before tanks, planes, and… oh…
NUCLEAR MISSILES
…
but nowadays the point is more like a self defence type of thing, since cops are useless.
We should really form well-regulated militias and just get rid of career cops…
Edit: I mean with drone warfare becoming popular…
Maybe we should expand 2nd amendment to cover Attack Drones? 🤔
