    The need for the 2nd amendment is fundamental if you want the people, able to form a tyranny… oh wait…

      The problem is they don’t see the hypocrisy. They think tyranny only applies to the government.

        Generally yeah most tyranny definitions refer to government. It’s hard to exert tyrannical rule without being a de facto government.

      You couldn’t be more wrong Telllos. If I didn’t have this gun, the King of England could just walk in here any time he wants and start shoving you around. Do you want that? (Pokes Telllos) Huh? (Shoves Telllos) Do ya!?
