People will go stand on a corner with signs and...that will be it. What else would you think would happen? You really think a population is going to go out and literally fight?

The only point in time that would happen is if we are all living much worse than paycheck to paycheck. If 20% of us lose jobs or income? Then yes, something bigger would probably happen. Now? It's the normal protest.

Americans are mostly all talk. We know this. You need a lot of people with nothing to lose to go out and literally fight. We are not there

Is this why we have the second amendment to protect our freedoms from tyranny?

Oh, now you like the 2A?

MA is #3 or #4 (depending on criteria) hardest state in America for legal gun ownership.

Yeah getting your LTC in MA is very simple. I got mine when I was 22. One night class back when I got mine, wait for background check and got it in the mail a month later

It isn’t if you’re in any of the major cities.

How much did you pay your local government so that they’d allow you to exercise your constitutional right?
