    I don't see what your point is. The purpose of the Second Amendment is protect oneself from the government. The history of the twentieth century is one of tens of millions of people murdered by their own governments. I think that people are weary of the repression of the Democrats. Hillary is going all over the world saying that if you didn't vote for her you are no good, the Democrats are the ones with all the money who live in the best areas and the rest of us are just as Obama described--Bible clingers and deplorables and if you get raped by a Clinton you are trailer trash.

    Exactly. Trump slipped comments like this out several times while calling to "Lock her up." He is the instigator of recommending this kind of violence in America, not the Democrats.

    And that's exactly the point being made in the OP and video by the Democrat being villified:

    “It’s really a matter of putting public pressure on the president,” Suozzi said in a newly released video of the March 12 talk in Huntington. “This is where the Second Amendment comes in, quite frankly, because you know, what if the president was to ignore the courts? What would you do? What would we do?”

    It was Obama who tried to force everyone in the USA to buy expensive and worthless Obamacare insurance. He is the # 1 candidate for dictator. We now know that he spied on everyday citizens right and left in violation of law.

    Madonna wanted to blow up the White House. Kathy whatever her name came out with a decapitated bloody head. The swells among the white urban gentry went to see a bastardized version of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar staged at government expense in Central Park. DeNiro said that he wanted to strike the President. And it goes on and on with the Hollywood and the white gentry. Some bohemian who dressed like a circus clown even complained about the shoes being worn. And how many big shot Democrats made snide remarks about the President's child. The Democrats are childish and mean spirited--especially the white gentry Democrats, who have pushed the poor out of the older urban areas and then called the police on the homeless that they made. A Democrat state legislator in Missouri called for the assassination of the POTUS. The Democrats think that they are funny.

    Don't forget Steve Scalise who had an assassination attempt on his life just because he is a Republican.

    At least in Jefferson's day your murderer faced you by challenging you to a duel.

    Today - hey any act of cowardice goes.

    If the unspeakable happened many would rejoice (I suspect)

    Alex Jones, one of President Trump’s favorite broadcasters, is calling for civil war

    Alex Jones and Other Conservatives Call for Civil War Against Liberals

    Would you go to war against your fellow Americans to show your support for President Donald Trump? For the last several months, that’s exactly what broadcaster Alex Jones—a favorite of the president—has been calling for.

    In his radio show, on YouTube and on his Infowars website, Jones—who never met a conspiracy theory he didn’t like and who has pushed the notion that Sandy Hook was faked—has been announcing that the United States is on the verge of a bloody second civil war. Like the radio DJs in Rwanda, Jones has been egging on his conservative listeners and viewers—an estimated 2.7 million people monthly—to kill more liberal fellow citizens over their political differences.

    Jones is hardly alone in promoting this scary, emerging narrative on the right. The theme gained momentum after the shooting at the congressional baseball game last month. The day before the attack, on June 13, right wing broadcaster Michael Savage, host of syndicated show The Savage Nation, warned that “there’s going to be a civil war” because of “what this left-wing is becoming in this country.” After the baseball field shooting the next day, he said that he “know what’s coming, and it’s going to get worse.” Savage also said of the shooting that “this blood is on [Democrats’] hands.”

    It's not the President who is the problem, it is Congress critters like him who violate the Constitution time and time again. I dare say that if the Founders ever came back and saw what was happening they would be leading us with weapons back to DC to make things right again.

    Look at Venezuela and what is happening there. That country has been destroyed by unbridled leftist policies (the kind the Democrats would like to make happen here) and the Venezuelan people cannot do anything about it. That is why the Democrats want to place every barrier they can in the way of people owning firearms in this country so they can eventually make America another Venezuela.

    Why Does the Far Right Hold a Near-Monopoly on Political Violence?

    Why Does the Far Right Hold a Near-Monopoly on Political Violence?

    Meanwhile, says Beirich, “right-wing domestic terrorism has been common throughout that period, going back to groups like to The Order, which assassinated [liberal talk-radio host] Alan Berg [in 1984] right through to today.” Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, told NPR that “when you look at murders committed by domestic extremists in the United States of all types, right-wing extremists are responsible for about 74 percent of those murders.”

    A 2015 survey of law-enforcement agencies conducted by the Police Executive Research Forum and the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security found that the police rate antigovernment extremists as a greater threat than reactionary Islamists. The authors wrote that “right-wing violence appears consistently greater than violence by Muslim extremists in the United States since 9/11, according to multiple definitions in multiple datasets.” According to the Department of Homeland Security, “Sovereign Citizens”—fringe antigovernmentalists—launched 24 violent attacks from 2010 through 2014, mostly against law enforcement personnel.

    Oh really? In this country it is the left who seem to be the purveyors of all the violence. I mean really, it has been the leftist ANTIFA folks who have been the violent ones against people who have been trying to exercise their 1st Amendment free speech rights. Do you remember Occupy? Left wingers all.

    And by the way, the ADL and NPR are both leftist organizations. The last time I listened to NPR it was nothing but leftist dribble - and the sad thing is that I have to pay for it.

    At what point do the citizens of this nation who believe in abiding by the Constitution have their fill about what has been going on here in America for the last 40 years? We are really in a post - constitutional society now. Very few of our Federal leaders believe in it anymore and I am talking about both Republicans and Democrats.

    Good grief, the Federal government has gone way beyond the powers given to it by the Constitution and that is a fact. Our national debt is now over 21 trillion dollars and I daresay that the Constitution does not support such a thing in any way, shape, manner, or form.

    Democrats are the responsible for the abortion holocaust, an unspeakable crime against humanity for which they should ask Jesus to forgive them. Democrats should denounce abortion today.

    I know that Jesus has a rocking chair and those millions of babies are in His arms in Heaven....

    Do you reject all the laws and court decisions that have been passed since the late 1700's? You simply don't abide by them?

    She's a #NeverTrump and what she says represents Democrat thinking. Afterall, you live in a Blue State that is above criticism. Besides you are an elite Easterner.

    Again you are projecting false narratives. I live in a county that is 98 % Republican. However if you live in NYC where Trump resides and has his business. The thing is though, being somewhat closer to some degree to the big Apple and by watching the events of NY and Trump, we have seen his past antics and can remember his bankruptcy and know that he could never get a loan from any domestic banks, so how did he get money to float his failing business, came from somewhere didn’t it? So who funded him?

    Yes. Do you recognize the laws passed by Congress and rulings of the Supreme Court as binding on you or not?
