Face it, the quotes I gave are accurate. The people who killed with weapons to stop a tyrranical government put the 2nd Amendment in the Constitution just in case it was required again.
What? are you still here? After having been caught red-handed peddling a quote falsely attributed to Jefferson, no doubt copied from some fake news website, one would have thought that, for shame, you would not show your face again. But I misjudged you; you have no shame.
On the one hand, you accuse the govt of laxity in enforcing its laws -- which would indicate a
lethargic govt -- but, on the other hand, you say you need weapons because the govt might try to
tyrannize you. That's muddled and incoherent.
Even supposing the U.S. govt decided to turn its military might against its own citizenry, do you honestly think your puny little semi-automatic rifle is going to hold off the world's most advanced army/air-force, with their cruise missiles and night goggles? or that they would actually target
you in particular? You're muddled, incoherent, and
paranoid.
The worst one can say about the U.S. govt, at least with respect to its own citizenry, is that it is sometimes incompetent. If there is any real danger of the U.S. drifting into tyranny, that danger bears the name Donald J. Trump.
