"The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed—where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once. " [Emphasis added]
-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003
OK, here it is less than 1 year since Kozinski put these memorable words to paper in his dissent to the Silviera decision, and already we have the Fed.gov, with the cowardly SCOTUS in cahoots, silencing our right to comment about candidates in the time immediately before an election. My questions to you are:
1) When, if ever, do you think that the government will have the big brass ones to cancel an election? and
2) What happens then? For this question, I don't want blustering answers about what YOU would do, I want to know what you think would happen nationally - would we meekly accept it? Would a few folks start shooting pols and shortly thereafter be taken out in a way that deters anyone else of like mind? Would the revolt be more successful? Try to support your answers as much as possible - I want to see what's going through everyone's mind about this issue.
I await your considered responses....
