    This is the tyranny that 2A is intended to prevent by the way. Not for people to cosplay and walk into public buildings to try and incite a response

      “naaauuuooooo then you’re just as bad as them!! because violence is always bad and there’s never any nuance to that” [except when the violent person is a cop or an ICE agent or other authority figure]

        “some people should die
        That’s just unconscious knowledge
        Because, because the bigger you get, the wider you spread
        You gotta depend on me now your vision is dead
        The more your dream is dead”

      The 2A was never about preventing tyranny. It was more about murdering native Americans and putting down slave rebellions. Read the discussion at the time the amendment was proposed.

      I’m kind of proud of not being very american but only 9 people will get a chance to kill supreme courts and be real Americans and I know a lot of people try to be so I’m sad they don’t get to
