You literally just "threw shit" at everyone in this thread except for Pleiades.
I think it really comes down to this
Is war a good thing or a bad thing.
Was the American Revolution really necessary?
Did the Union really have to fight the Civil War?
We have been indoctrinated into thinking of the necessity of these wars in particular and most war in general.
You want to call pacifism spinelessness, go ahead, that puts you firmly in the majority.

Why do we need to look at that?let's look at the American Civil war, the last, and only time the so called second amendment right to end government tyranny was exercised.
Probably not, and no.Was it really about ending slavery, and did slavery actually end?
This says a lot about your own posts. Thanks for not participating.
@Stu
Please, for the love of God, don't go down this ridiculous path. This is nothing but puerile semantics.
Oh and, I forgot to mention. I did participate. I was one of the first people to do so on the first page of the thread before it turned pissy.
if folks are going to argue that the second ammendment protects us from the government then how is discussing how well regulated militias, fighting against a perceived tyranny, not germane?
That's nice, but if you're not participating now and you just want to throw a hissy fit. Please don't. It's not welcome.

Also what about regulated state militia? People are conveniently ignoring the possibility of a state sanctioned body.
People just want to fight about guns to an illogical degree and are ignoring all legitimate alternatives. I think people just want to fight and it's stupid.
i believe you were arguing that the second amendment keeps us free from gov tyranny by preserving the option of armed insurrection
I am arguing that armed insurrection has limited hope of success and therefor its possibility is not protecting us from anything but only providing the illusion of freedom.

Are you suggesting that there are only two options, that if we couldn't achieve victory then we should lay down and be walked over?
If the government did get out of control I would rather die fighting it than lay down and accept it. No victory is even necessary.
Patrick Henry didn't say "We should only try if we can actually win." He said "Give me liberty, or give me death!"
Personally I do not think the regular military would fight against its own people. Nowwww....the special trained forces is another topic.
