      The 2nd amendment is for tyranny. What we have is stupidity, which the voters have chosen, and celebrated. It’s disgusting, but no one is going to break down the white house doors and open fire because another ignorant racist pawn was placed into a strategic position. No one in Switzerland, Australia or France would attempt to murder their PM for selecting a moron as chief justice either.

        What about if citizens are detained and deported to foreign prisons without due process, all while blatantly ignoring the orders of judges?

        Where is the line where people will act?

          The line for most people is their front door. When it affects them personally, they will act. The USA did not enter world war II to save the Jews. Most people are selfish cowards, including all of the armchair quarterbacks claiming that they would march into the Pentagon and start blowing holes in corrupt Congress people if only they had the right to own guns.

          This exactly is my point.

          Yes, we can’t identify which grain of sand makes it a beach, and yet it eventually becomes a beach.

          There’s so many reasons that it’s hard to focus on all of them. Hell, I’ve been paying attention and there is so much shady shit being done that I would have to keep a list.
