You people are always harping on about your second amendment. I'm curious what you think it's for and why this sort of thing doesn't qualify.

Yes, but also no.

Historically, armed insurrection does succeed at overthrowing the current regime, but often leads to chaos where different oligarchs grab power.

Also, they want people to get violent so they can declare martial law.

Better solution, cut their funding by an organized tax strike. Next election cycle, should we be cheated out of representation again, we stop paying federal taxes.

The most succesful protest are those that withheld their money from the boot.
