"A peaceful demonstration of at least a million � hey, if we can 10 million, even better � but at least one million armed militia men marching on Washington. A peaceful demonstration. No shooting, no one gets hurt. Just a demonstration. The only difference from any typical demonstration is we will all be armed."

I can't get the video clip to play, but the transcript says it all. While the idea of anarchists organizing seems an oxymoron, this could be an interesting development if any part of it comes off. There was a version of this in the last Great Depression. Hoover had some of them shot. FDR just sent Eleanor out.

If it's a peaceful demonstration, why would they arm themselves? Even without weapons on hand, the message would remain exactly the same: we can gather and organize over a million people who could potentially be armed, and we feel that as a result you should take our opinions seriously.

A million man organized protest of some sort sounds fine. Arming themselves sounds like total disregard for the safety of their fellow citizens and can only lead to problems.

The Republican ideal is no government interference, no taxes and all the guns you want. They call that Heaven; we call it Somalia. Confused

I don't have a problem with the 2nd Amendment being read broadly;

but a million men on the Washington Mall with guns is not a right given in the Constitution.

*beep* no.

How you going to start a revolution with a private video no one can view?

Has the new American revolution began yet or are everyone still just sitting in front of their TV's ignoring what's badly wrong and needs to be acted upon by the people for the people?

You Liberals think the Constitution is a document that limits your ability to spread your socialistic ideals; and you're right.

Maybe they just want to remind them of these lines from our Declaration of Independence:

Quote:
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

...it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
