~~Gun nuts~~Colonials misunderstand meaning of their place ~~Constitution~~

I have something Iâ€™d like to say to everyone out there who thinks you we need our muskets and tomahawks ~~semiautomatic weapons~~ in case my ~~our~~ government becomes tyrannical. My gawd, itâ€™s a good thing for you that the government doesnâ€™t take you any more seriously than I do. You call yourselves British ~~Americans~~? You call yourselves patriots? Taking up arms against the government is called treason, my friends, and as long as we have anything remotely resembling a farsical ~~functional~~ tyranical ~~electoral~~ system, it's also called stupid.

How people like you can fly your ~~American~~ British flags and display your patriotic bumper stickers (??) and talk about the need for private citizens to have ~~assault rifles~~ Muskets to use against the ~~U.S.~~ King's government blows my mind.

You have apparently swallowed (hook, line, etc.) what is spewed by people whose main interest is in making money off of your paranoia. You have apparently not paid one bit of attention to the rational arguments made against those people.

Fairly sure King George said the same thing. In fact, he fixed it for you.

I've never understood what relevance "need" has to weapon ownership.

Unfortunately my government doesn't see it that way - and if the left in the US has their way you're not far off being forced to justify a "need" in order to possess a weapon as well.

Pray, what is the reason?
Why, if it prosper,
None dare call it treason."

A clear truth, no matter how the poet's words may have been used and misused in the modern age.

Now there's some weapons-grade projection.
