There's a great book called Revolution 1989, about the collapse of communist states in Eastern Europe. What's remarkable is that in no case did the people use their second amendment rights and overthrow a corrupt government. Instead, they peaceably assembled until the brutality of armed police beating citizens caused a crisis of legitimacy. Only in Romania were weapons used against the people; only in Romania were the criminal leaders killed after the army revolted.
What I learned from that was that the second amendment is not as important as I thought. What the elites learned is that a homogeneous people is dangerous to continued rule by them. There will be no revolution 2025 in the fractured polities of the West. Just a collapse.
Thomas, thank you for this. While it is horrifying, it also gives me hope, as - 2nd Amendment - in fact Bill of Rights in general - does not exist outside the USA.
Protect the Constitution, it's still the best in the world.
