Just a thought

[aws1963]

At lunch today I was pondering all this unrest with the anti-LE protesters.

It occurred to me that they are protesting what they consider "rogue" government agencies (Law Enforcement in General) and how "powerless" they are to fight against perceived injustice, how LE is "out of control" and "murdering" citizens at alarming rates (their impressions, not mine).

I was also thinking back to the many threads on various sites where Second Amendment supporters (myself included) have discussed the protections in the Second Amendment that allow the people to protect themselves against a "rogue" Government.

What am I missing here? Are they not making the case for the Second Amendment protections in their own statements and actions? Are they not protesting a government gone "rogue" in their opinion?

When mentioning the need to provide the people a means to fight against a such a situation with government, I and others are called "paranoid, delusional, mentally ill and even retarded (I was actually called that).

Wonder what others think of this line of thinking. Could it be used to our advantage when discussing the need to protect the Second Amendment?

Thoughts?

Thanks. I'm trying to figure out the same. This is an angle I have not seen discussed. I may have just missed it somewhere but I believe it's a valid talking point.

Hoping we get a good discussion without the drama!

I see what you're thinking OP,
you're trying to unite the people in a peaceful way against a government that's probably infringing the peoples rights.
But I think what's happening right now is meant to (or will) divide the people.

I don't think you're paranoid or delusional.
The paranoid person might see this as their "overlords" were crushing everyones inalienable rights (guaranteed to us by the Second Amendment and the Constitution) hoping that we could would start a violent revolution, so that they could then federalized the police force (and therefore fully controlling any dissent from the American people forever)
but the freedom, rights and gun loving Second Amendment/ constitution folks didn't take the bait, they remained calm and stayed peaceful (even when dealing with perceived Federal land grabs).

So an alternative had to be found...
Summers/heat are always best to get people riled up, so the time is now or soon.
" Victims " were found or created by the media, who seem to pick victims who will create the most the division, people of a certain race, yet who have some criminal backgrounds.
Protesters are stirred up are now being funded with millions and millions of dollars from unseen persons.
Local police will be outnumbered by the protesters that will be bussed across this nation for "peace" rallies that will somehow turn violent.
And the federal government will eventually get oversight and hiring control of local/city police forces.

Then the old divide and conquer wins in the end.

(Man, I should write novels. Is there a market for the "paranoid" reader?)
