A mother, angry about state motherfuckers, downvoted on mother’s day. Damn.
The second amendment: “WELL REGULATED MILITIA”, which is quite specifically a citizen’s army. I’m literally just advocating rights we were guaranteed at the beginning of our constitution. This shouldn’t actually be controversial. If you can’t regulate to an equal playing field, the only way to “well regulate” is by destruction. “Arms” isn’t exclusive to guns just as it isn’t exclusive to bombs. It is however made exclusive to THE PEOPLE’S RIGHT to “bear arms”. The people can find equality in arms that aren’t totally insane (such as the arms they had when the constitution was written), and that is an important part of saying “well regulated”. They designated the military as not an official part of “the people” (the citizenry), and the military itself technically has no right to bear arms. That is why it is within the purview of the second amendment, and arguably the government’s job, to destroy all arms not accessible to the people (and in the case of the military, arms not accessible to ALL PEOPLE). The very point of it is to assure equal weaponry so that the people are not forced from their freedom by the power of the larger societal structures, whether that be a state, a military, or capitalism.
The government owes the people respect, not the other way around. They put food on their table with our money, our work, whether we agree or not. The government’s money isn’t the government’s money, it’s the people’s money, distributed. If they’re going to take our money with or WITHOUT CONSENT and put it towards something else, especially something like murdering innocent people for what mostly seems to be a religious cause, we have to be allowed to complain. We have to be able to shut them down if they won’t change, as the people. The founding fathers intended for our system to change, or we wouldn’t even be able to make amendments. The constitution itself was an intended change from the static religious monarchy of Britain, which required civil war because it was static (it refused to equitably change).
The state, especially the federal government, technically only exists to regulate currency (and resulting industry) as the people need for maximum well-being. So the state needs to get their heads out of their ass and do it instead of trying to silence protestors during national crisis and every war or they’ll be, in a sense, fired. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when. Then again, if they were actually doing their fucking job, none of this shit would be happening. The constitution isn’t an unreasonable structure. The biggest problem is that we have let capitalism completely overwrite it, which is quite literally the opposite of what the constitution intended. Once again, “WELL REGULATED”.
