The thing that I find surprising is that I’ve always heard variations of “no one knows what they REALLY meant” when the drafters wrote 2A. I’ve known there were historical militias but I didn’t realize that they were either organized by the state or state-sanctioned. I didn’t think the drafters meant to create autonomous militias that are sedition prone (like the current private “militias” that play apocalypse games in the woods of the Midwest). And that’s because they FUCKING didn’t. It’s a relic and the current interpretation (guns for everyone at birth so they can blow anyone’s face off at the slightest provocation or accident) is a sham.

About

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aspires to be the same kind of Autocrat despised by the founders of the United States. He must be exposed for what he is: a great threat to our Democratic Republic and American values. Republicans don't punish big businesses like the Walt Disney Company for disagreeing with them. Fascists do. DeSantis and those like him are a massive threat to our Democracy.

  2. The tolerant, open-minded and freedom-loving ARE welcome here. Glad to have you good people : )

  3. Attack the media and expect to be banned. There is a good reason why the press is included in the First Amendment. If you cannot respect the vital role that an independent media plays in terms of checks and balances, this isn't the right group for you.

  5. No Spam, Threats, Harassment or Doxing of any kind.
