I've been following the Amber Heard/Johnny Depp trial somewhat. Though I think there are some issues from both side.. after hearing Amber Heard being cross examined today I think Heard could be a future leader of the Republican Party. IMHO
And now on a more serious note: The idea that any and all gun control policy must be resisted because it represents a fundamental threat to liberty is
called what has been labeled an “Insurrectionist” belief which believes that government must be kept in constant check by a heavily armed and vigilant citizenry. Such a view rests on a myth that the Second Amendment grants individuals the right to own firearms for the purpose of violently overthrowing government, a position that is unsupported by the historical record
“Neither the Second Amendment nor an inchoate right to armed revolution allows for violent opposition to the policies of a democratically accountable government, even if some citizens view those policies as tyrannical” (Joshua Horwitz and Casey Anderson ; Guns, Democracy, and the Insurrectionist Idea; 2009, p. 110).
The Second Amendment was written not to empower individuals to resist government but to give states the right to form government-organized, democratically controlled militias.
