A Question to Those Who Would Fight Tyranny


While I do not in any way advocate violence, because it serves little lasting purpose, I do ask those who keep claiming that Americans need guns to stand up to those who would take away our rights any time someone even mentions tightening gun control, what rights, other than that to bear arms, are you talking about?

Our education system is crumbling, with children being packed like sardines into classrooms falling apart to be taught only the basic facts necessary to pass standardized tests created by companies with no educational background, thus causing us to slide further and further behind countries whose citizens understand that education, more than anything else, is the way to drive an economy.

Millions of Americans fall victim to profit-based privatized health care system, driven by pharmaceutical and insurance industries, causing us to have health numbers and mortality rates rivaling those of third world nations.

Banks and big businesses receive massive subsidies while small businesses are crushed under laws bought from career Congressmen by said large ones to ensure their oligopolies are maintained as they squeeze the life from their workers, one paycheck at a time, cutting jobs while posting profits.

State governments loot their coffers and destroy their states, one backdoor deal at a time, all the while erecting, along with Congressmen who can hold their jobs for life, a masterful smokescreen that makes the average person think it's all the fault of the evil president, who actually has as much power domestically as any one of them.

So, again, I ask, when, exactly, are you going to start standing up for those rights that you need your guns to protect?
