I see you cannot actually respond and instead worry about typo's.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.


Not to mention the pages of quotes from the founders supporting arms for such a cause.
I agree. I don't have a religion but I do know the constitution is founded on the bible. The notion is that our government will at some point become evil as it is ran by imperfect human beings.

My crazy theory is that the founding fathers predicted this and expected the people will overthrow the government at some point and replace with anew but possibly retain the constitution.

I actually think it was fairly stupid to go protest those thugs. Mixing with those low-lifes and then rolling around in the gutter with them... blech.

What if these guys showed up to protest and nobody was there to care, much less listen to them? That would be the ideal counter-protest.

Nazism isn't on the rise but the misuse of the word "Nazi" is up over 10000%.

'typos' doesn't need an apostrophe. obviously words, spelling, and grammar aren't your forte. it's slightly terrifying you're so into guns though, because you and your ilk are what's responsible for our crazy gun nut culture and the fact that a mass shooting occurs nearly every day in America.

The people who do mass shootings are mostly democrats, so I doubt they are of my ilk. Plus my typos are only outdone by your inability to understand statistics. Mass shootings happen a few times a year, not every other day like you claim.

If you were actually worried about preventing murder then you would deal with the true issues, such as single parent households, women having children before being married and low high school graduation rates. These three things are the greatest indicators of someone who will end up in the justice system. Why not address the real problem instead of worrying about someone who has never committed a crime?
