I have no clue what this comment has to do with this comment He's saying the 2A is responsible for this "militia" having access to guns, I think. Problem is, he's making the tired mistake of confusing the layman terms "militia" with the capitalized, very specific term in the Constistution, "Militia." As in, "state militia." Random dumbasses with guns calling themselves a militia is NOT the same as a state militia, which the Constitution backs (and state militias are all but defunct these days, essentially replaced by the National Guard). Considering the "plot" was a handful of people in a basement, probably not the most intimidating thing in the world. Meanwhile anti-government protests and attacks are happening on Michigan's streets while its government does little or nothing to stop them. Considering it was big enough for the FBI to monitor and step in, I'm gonna go ahead and say "nah dawg." But it's a bit telling that you instantly pivot to the non-existent threat of "anti-government" protesters. One would think that basic intelligence dictates that if one was worth of the FBI's attention and action, and the other, openly in the streets, isn't, then you're making a very horrible and disgraceful false equivalency. It's been a tired tactic of conservatives for nearly 3 decades now to try and paint the Left as just as terrible as they are, but no one outside of conservatives buy it. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. <cite>CyborgSage00x0 posted [p:945629433] in Feds stop ...
