They have for a long time. Disarming citizens contributes to global insecurity. Alot of countries over there have land that's connected so it would make sense to have a heavily armed population and that would take land invasions off the board.. one thing that people should have learned from Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan.. is that Asymmetrical wars are nearly impossible to win, both sides just end up throwing lives and money at the problem when the simple answer is allow the people to handle it.
The declaration of independence is clear that the only for of government thats legitimate is one that has consent of the people. Other article in there, the Federalist papers and the constitution are very clear in our right to cast off such a tyranny.. a good place to start would be letter to the house that they no longer have the consent of the people, the hard part of that would be getting the number of signatures needed to go with the letter. Im positive there is more than 50% of the population that would agree that our government is no longer for the people and by the people we just need a way to get the signatures. From there the government is obligated to address and resolve our grievances and if they refuse to then we have legal grounds to pursue. Im not suggesting a insurrection, im suggesting we exhaust all the legal means we have.
You could be right but looking at the elections the past few cycles, it seems we are reaching or may have even passed that threshold.. im not saying your wrong but im saying I bet we are close if not there already
