This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That was the Framers' intention. It was not for a hunting permit. Do you have a better idea about how to enforce the self-preservation of liberty and freedom from tyranny when the tyrannical government is armed and disposed to use force against a subjugated population? How would you prevent another King George? Say you don't like Trump and he has all the top guns as the next POTUS and decided to declare a military dictatorship? Sure, they have the most powerful weapons but lawyers aren't going to help. Wouldn't you rather fight for freedom than lay down and die in the camps?

It'll be a whole different thing for the government to send military against the population. An armed population should be plenty to keep the cops respectful, and cops are the real problem.

Making them shoot an unarmed group of protesters is much harder than making them shoot an armed one.

Lol, well they had no problems seriously wounding the unarmed BLM protesters by shooting them with “rubber” bullets.

They wouldn’t touch the right wingnuts showed up at protests with guns.

They also wouldn’t touch an armed group distributing food to homeless and needy

They didn’t touch the Bundy’s when they took over the wildlife refuge offices in an armed standoff.

So cops are fine shooting at unarmed people, but if they’re going to face well armed threats they play nice.

Yep. Doesn't even have to be a group of armed people doing "maybe illegal" things. It can be a single person doing absolutely illegal and horrific things...like Uvalde.
