Actually taking up arms against a rogue govenment? They've got one now, but they're all over it like a rash because Trump validates their worst attitudes.
Stephen is right; the market forced the platforms to moderate, then they ran into trouble for moderating, then we got Section 230 to tell them they could moderate without being taken to court for it and weren't responsible for 3rd party posts.
Neither Paul nor I would have any trouble getting hold of guns if we really, truly wanted to. It's just that we're not paranoid maniacs wanting to act out childish cowboy fantasies in real life. We just want peace and quiet.
Perhaps you're jealous of our freedom from random violence.

Re: _Known Psychopaths_
I fail to understand why passing a gun safety + two references of the kind you need when applying for a passport wouldn't fit the bill.

Re: "Responsible, law-abiding people"
Okay, now you're being silly. I thought you were the sane one.
Remember when the NRA was all about gun safety? That's what I'm talking about.
When did you go all nutball tinfoil on us? I really did think you were the sane one.

Agreed. Have guns if you want to, but only if you're sane, responsible, and law-abiding.

A man who can assert his masculinity without being perma-scared or acting like a jerk is most desirable.

They can't enjoy those freedoms if some idiot kills them because you were desperate to let any weirdo get a gun.

Owning guns is one of them. It's a fact, and it's not going to be taken away or infringed upon regardless of who's in office.
It's not an absolute right at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_law_in_the_United_States#Overview_of_current_regulations
Your freedom ends where other people's begin. The right to life is the most important of all.
