What we are witnessing in the case of America is something quite terrifying and way out of control. Numerous states are now passing laws making it criminal to feed homeless people and now people with next to nothing are being told they cannot live on the land which is ultimately all anyone has to fall back on when times become unbearable. A few weeks ago the police shot dead an old man living rough in the mountains and for seemingly no reason other than him living rough. This type of scenario seems to be all too common and the state is now illegitimate. It is waging war on its own citizens from the homeless up to anyone without the wealth to buy elections of get in at the bureau trough.
Now, do you get it? Why do you think certain posters here like myself and Victor Charlie are against the Federal and State govt. in taking away our rights to bear arms? It's not for hunting, I can tell you that. It's for a last resort that the average American can take up arms against a government that is becoming tyrannical each day. That's the reason why many Americans do not want to give up the 2nd amendment. The 1st amendment has already been severely compromised, and the 2nd amendment is under assault from the govt.
