Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Yeah, when people post this it means, "shooting people will fix everything." It conveniently ignores that the government has control of the most powerful military in the world. Now, if the MILITARY were also in on the "2A" talk, it would be different, but I very much doubt they will be.
Pretty much. Americans are the most heavily armed civilian population in the world, hasn't prevented their slide into decay.
What event in recent history makes you think the US military is any good at dealing with insurgencies? In addition to the most powerful military, the US also has the most heavily armed populace in the entire world. Rebellion here would be a bloodbath of historical propprtions but the people would win. If you call that winning.
Military is irrelevant.
"The enforcement arm of the fascist government is irrelevant."
I don't see any way this can be true. How do you figure?
Because you think the 2A means "meet an entire military force on a battlefield". Nobody with actual thinking ability would jump to that conclusion, as you have done.
None of this has anything at all to do with the US military.
So, when you're out there shooting up law enforcement, politicians, whoever you think killing would help bring down the government - what exactly do you think the response will be? "Oh no, they have guns, we surrender?"
Unless you have something better than "2A!" and "Nuh-uh!", you really have no room to talk about being bad at arguing a position.
NO.
