Imagine believing that the 2A protects us from tyranny in a country where showing a pig your gun is a recognized form of suicide.
Internet tough-guys on the left trying to be a version of the Black Panthers. Too bad it's the version from Forrest Gump.
Think fascism and pigs are bad now? Imagine where we would be in they knew no one was able to fight back.
It's for sure an added risk to be armed. Especially open carring long guns in a protest. However, after reading about the Deacons for Defense and Justice, I currently think that the reminder of that threat needs to be present.
The 2A doesn't protect us from anything, least of all violence. I believe we need multiple forms of resistance, and the 2A is just one.
Also, seeing that the 2A is a part of many American's identities, including MAGA cult members, I think it would be interesting to see the regime try and strip that right from any group of people.
