The point still stands....our 2A won't do us any good if it doesn't allow the people the opportunity to self-govern, if they think their federal government doesn't represent them anymore

It is a deterrent

We are already starting to have our 2A taken away from us

It says "we're peacefully going our way...but don't come tread on us"

It will be more trouble than it's worth

Gun grabbers in government are already trying to ban "assault weapons"

They don't even know what the fuck that means

Exactly.

But we've let the Left be the only activists in our modern society....conservatives have just wanted to live their lives

"Assault weapons" have the fun switch

My AR doesn't

We have to be ready to stand up for what we believe in sometime down the road

Yeah, we just own an AR "pistol" with an arm brace

I fear that too many of us will just roll over and let it happen, should the left call for authoritarianism

I know, nobody will do shit when the left takes over. People will just be useful idiots and let it happen

We have to convince like minded people to be ready to some day defend their views if necessary

And support autonomy for certain states

Should the need arise

(hopefully it doesn't)
but I don't like the direction we're headed in

Later on it will just be David vs Goliath, the left will just grow to insane proportions in the coming years

Don't be a defeatist

Thats what they want you to think, that there isnt enough of us out there willin to stand up, but there's people all over in every state who just quietly sit at home just waitin to heed their call. Our only problem is we havent organised ourselves so even to us we look small and pityfull

Do something about it

Change minds as much as you can

But roughly 49% of this country leans conservative

Right now...try to be successful at your careers, and start doing what they do:

leverage your position to support conservative causes

I think more are conservative, but that might be because of where I am

hire conservative people

get the conservative message out there

...but as a backup, be ready to defend yourself and your views....and convince other people that the day may come where they need to stand up

Too many of us are de-moralized

like you are @AWOIII

The left is destroying itself

That's where they need us, demoralized and unwilling to stand up

Why should we worry

Convince like-minded people to stand up.

Say the day comes....and a state needs to go autonomous

Democrat run cities are being destroyed

It only takes a small percentage of people standing up to make it not worthwhile to enforce.

People are leaving
