Matt Gaetz Tells Fans to Carry Out 'Armed Rebellion' Against Government if Neccessary
I suppose being dumb as a box of rocks doesn't matter if no one does anything about it.

Matt Gaetz Tells Fans to Carry Out ‘Armed Rebellion’ Against Government if Neccessary
PLAYING SOLDIER

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) appeared next to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) at a Georgia rally Thursday night, giving MAGA fans the chance to see two of most crazed lawmakers in the land at one terrible event. They lived up to their billing, with Greene putting on a mocking Mexican accent, and Gaetz—having learned precisely zero lessons from the Capitol riot—spouting off about “armed rebellion.” After whining about conservatives being “canceled,” or, in other words, being removed from social media for inciting hate and violence, the congressman moved on to talk about the Second Amendment. “It’s not about hunting, it’s not about recreation, it’s not about sports,” he said. “The Second Amendment is about maintaining, within the citizenry, the ability to maintain an armed rebellion against the government if that becomes necessary.” Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) tweeted a clip of the speech and said: “This is not speech protected by the First Amendment. This is beyond yelling fire in a theater.”
Well, yeah..
That's what it's for. [see 1776]

22. How did this nut get a law degree?
He is in deep shit already and he keeps on digging the hole deeper. Its gotten so bad that the only member of congress who will hang out with him is Greene! I think he's close to hitting bottom.

29. Why haven't they?
How much more blatant must a threat be, before some government agency intervenes? I assume, like HC, it'd be the FBI. Perhaps there's another mechanism, but either way, there have to be consequences for making threats like these.

11. He needs to be cuffed and stuffed calling for "armed rebellion." That transcends "free speech" for
those who took the Congressional oath. That is inciting violence against the U.S.

24. Until They are held accountable the Madness will continue
Simple as that. We are fast becoming the laughing stock of the entire Free World.
Responsible Global Citizens know we elected a responsible President...but they can't get their heads around the fact We are letting the lunatics run the asylum in the Media, the Federal legislature, Courts, and not charging anyone with anything and letting the Rethugs drive the 1/6 Circus narrative.
Just sayin'.

giving a lesson in the reason for the 2nd Amendment is not inciting a mob.
This "inciting a mob" really looks like

So rep. Adam Kinzinger is another cretin using an overturned court case as the basis for his opinion on what is permissible speech.

Even a cursory bit of research shows that the 2nd amendment is based on English laws that recognized the right to personal defense, and that it was intended in part as a check on the Federal Government.

“The Second Amendment is about maintaining, within the citizenry, the ability to maintain an armed rebellion against the government if that becomes necessary.”
So what's the problem? Did someone have plans to make armed rebellion necessary?
