There is a point there that is of monumental importance “AND THE WILL TO USE IT”
Because we have the guns.
Do we have the will to use them?
You can have all the guns you want or just one and neither will do you any good unless you have the will to use them.
Do we have the will to use them?
My fear is the famous quote by Samuel Adams from August 1, 1776, [Q] If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. [/Q] may hold as true today.
How many on the right (those not on the left) “love better the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom”?
And how many can not be asked for their arms?
Because they have them for show and in no way will they ever be willing to use them?
And if kamala kuntala tells them to turn them over, they will without firing a single shot.
Having guns is not the whole of it.
Having them, under the 2nd Amendment, it’s the easy part.
Using them for the reason the 2nd Amendment was put in there . . . is another matter.

And, nobody is going to fight back. Judgement and righteous self defense are not the same thing. The american people are not authorized to fight back, because they are the ones being judged. Enjoy the camps, you deserve them.
I have no special knowledge, I just read my King James Holy Bible (yes, I hope that the KJV makes you upset, heh).
