Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - American conservatives are preparing for an armed revolution

I suppose it's easier to type cast conservatives as 'angry peasants' than to actually see that the Federal Government has taken more power than was originally delegated.

See e.g. "Court Packing Plan" "Chisolm v. Georgia" and compare Carter v. Carter Coal to Wickard v. Filburn. The federal government isn't known for restraint, people.

Like another poster has said, thank god democracy is still alive and well. We're still able to politically delimit federal power.

Ironic that people will accuse gun owners of being 'fearful,' when the DHS report, and this post itself is fearmongering against the right. ("Oh Noes! These people have GUNS! AND LOTSA AMMO! THEY MUST MEAN TO REVOLT!" Actually, active shooters just want to have enough ammo for their weekend recreational shoots, which can take anywhere from 100-2,000 rounds. Big whoop.
