Please...

Long have those days passed. While this was the original intent behind the 2nd; the people, over 80 million of them desire to be ruled, and a large majority voting for the other guy probably do as well.

All the people with guns, forcibly locked up for a year and a half for a virus where the median age of death is older than the average US persons life expectancy.

No no, make no mistake, the reason the US isn't in a France like situation yet is that there are still enough of us that believe God is the grantor of rights, not the state. Being "alive", "healthy" and "safe" aren't the ultimate goals or purpose of this life.

But make no mistake, the US is running on the fumes of great men and a once great nation.

US weapons restrictions seem to be slowly loosening, with pain and gnashing of teeth.

Whether those who are willing and able to defend themselves are also willing to defend our nation, I can't say. But it's a better situation than I would have predicted ten years ago.
