This reminds me of an interaction I had here the other day. There was an article about ICE kidnappings in San Francisco and someone asked why the armed gangs weren’t doing battle with ICE. There are no roving armed gangs in San Francisco, despite what shitty right wing media fantasies claim.
There used to be roving gangs of nude joggers, but they went and changed the law in 2012 and ruined everyone’s fun.
I guess the question is more in the line of "wasn't the 2nd amendment exactly for this precise situation?"
No, they would have said that if they meant that. I cannot overemphasize just how many Americans truly, actually believe that there are just bands of colored men with rifles walking around in the city streets.
My bad. Sometimes I forget that there is no physical limit of stupidity.
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." – Albert Einstein
It reads:
Beau of the Fifth column said it best, the purpose was to put down civil insurrections (now there's cops for that, supposedly), and to fight government employees: the foreign kind, in the send of an invasion where the people would support the military; and the domestic kind, if the government went tyrannical.
