Apparently you want to keep steamrolled.

The constitution itself describes the formation and working of the government, the first 10 amendments talk about rights between the state and its citizens. The authors of the federalist papers were not the author of the constitution, sorry to break it to you.

Again, if the concept of self determination was SOOOOOO important to the framers as you keep protesting, don't you think they would have added maybe one sentence in the constitution stating such? Your argument is so at odds with itself that it is staggering. Essentially you are saying that the framers thought self determination was so important that they would assume people would presume that a state could leave the union at will, and they didn't address it in a document that explicitly spells out how the government should work? They carved slaves up into 3/5ths of a person but forgot to add the sentence about a state can leave the union freely upon a vote of its citizens?

For every repulsion against tyranny in this country accomplished solely by use of the second amendment, there are 100 examples where people had the same success using a combination of the first, 4th, 6th, 14th. Again, this is your violent mindset. I mean the civil rights movement didn't blow anyone away and they did a pretty good job of rebelling against tyranny and instituting real change.

Conceeded.

Is it really? I had to Google it.

You are building a nice strawman there with the sheep. Especially considering a sheep cannot consent to sexual relations, I'd say no on that. I'd have no problem with polygamy though provided all of the participants are consenting in the arrangement. It's not something I would personally care for though, but if others do, live and let live.

As for the extrajudicial killings, remember, the Executive Branch could not when pressed declare that such killings would be outlawed on US soil. That lone is alarming. In 2013, Eric Holder (then the AG) declared such a killing would be legal. I'd hardly say I'm inventing a false possible scenario here.

Do I think our current government will do so? I sure hope not and think they probably won't. However, the fact is they can do so and it is the opinion of the Justice Department that such a killing would be legal. That alone is scary and should be enough to give most citizens pause and realize that our government is growing in its power

Still see it pop up. Nephew did it 14/15 years ago. We got picked to be the ones who got sent the flat nephew. I'm hoping if my brother's kids do this they chose uncle Dave instead of uncle squirrel.

I would say the 9th and 10th Amendment provide a basis where states could leave the union or people could vote to leave the union.

9th- The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
10th- The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.


There are plenty of things throughout history where the Constitution does not have explicit guidance.

You don't like the response from the Executive Branch, exercise your right to representative democracy and vote in someone who will give you a satisfactory response.

Either that or start shooting people...

One Post and i are probably not going to change our minds or come to an agreement. I think we are both pretty entrenched in our views and while I vehemently disagree with him, I don't think his views are coming from a bad place.

I'm just going to post this self-depricating meme as it is somewhat accurate.

Great pic Ogie. You're definitely one of the good ones.

Nah, that isn't what you said earlier. You said the "2nd Amendment is THE firewall against tyranny", "the" as in singular. So that is the mindset of someone who sees tyranny and immediately views violence as the answer.

Yup.

I think Ogie goes overboard, but America needs people like him. He keeps em honest.

I get irritated when I just want a haircut and they start asking me that shit, I just say, lady..I'm paying cash, I'm not interested in anything outside a haircut...then they get cunty and don't talk for 12 minutes while I snooze in the chair.
