There are two problems here, fitting for the Second.
First, the people stocked with ammo are the ones thrilled that we’re in the Fourth Reich. Second, any sort of widespread uprising will let use of the Insurrection Act sail through any hurdles, and now the military is being used internally.
The Constitution is not in play at this point. Second is the only thing being defended by the junta.
Oh, certainly. And the military has much better weapons (and training) than most 2A advocates.
My personal thoughts are that if even 5% of the population of large cities stood up and (even unarmed) said “no, you’re not going to destroy the country” that would have a significant impact.
(for residents in the DC metro area, that would be over 300,000 people, which you’ve exceeded in past protests - across the country if you could hit the 5% (17 million) protest target, you would certainly have a significant impact)
I know there’s a 50501 movement. I don’t know the size of it, (long way to go) but I think they’re still gaining momentum.
Long story short though, I really feel like this isn’t something that can be fixed by legislation or voting. That can help later, and can help support outside movements, but the people need to act, not just the politicians.
