Alright quick pet peeve: First off I agree that the constitution was specifically written to make it hard for a dictatorship and or tyrannical government.
But my pet peeve is: You cannot use the 2nd amendment as an example of that. It was written four years later and by almost a completely different set of people.
- _asummers 12y agoThat's a fair criticism of my post. However, do you believe the mindset just four years later was any different? The second amendment very explicitly mentions militias, which implies the same fear of government.
