I'm arguing with the 2-3 people that immediately scoffed at the idea of an armed rebellion against the US gov't but the points were made and now the sidebar is done with as far as I can tell, except for people now just annoyed that some actual conversation happened back and forth.

You badly misunderstood the nature of the relationship the framers of the constitution had with armed force and their complicated attitudes towards militia vs. standing armies, as well as the important differences between those two as understood in the late 18th century.

I may have misunderstood their feelings on militias (in that I didn't realize they made a distinction between a standing army and a state militia) but I don't think it really makes my general point wrt the second amendment or the founder's feelings about a government's authority being derived from the people who can revoke said authority wrong. Even aside from the Declaration of Independence where it is spelled out as such, there are many quotes from the founders referring to such (like the Jefferson tree of liberty quote).

And, like I have said twice now, the Supreme Court of the United States said in a 2008 decision that gun control is important specifically so that people have the ability to resist tyranny. Like they literally wrote that in a majority decision so I feel like there's something to the notion and I'm not just pulling poo poo out of my butthole that stopped being relevant hundreds of years ago.

e: I did like your post re the militias though, but it wasn't really some major pillar to my argument. The founders make it pretty clear they support the people's right to rebel against tyranny :shrug:

He does that from time to time, which I think is a better indication that we made the right choice in making him an IK. One time he got told mods/IKs couldn't probate themselves and he drunkenly replied "gently caress YOU YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO" and then probated himself, which was hilarious.

I really wonder what these militia chickenfuckers think about the governments ability to send a Hellfire missile through the roof of whatever shithole they're inhabiting in the same amount of time it would take for a pizza to be delivered. Like, yeah, you've got a bunch of rifles and pistols and shotguns and maybe some improvised pipebombs or whatever but they'll blow up the building before you even know death is coming. How do they keep up any sense of bravado in the face of that? I guess that's why they keep kids around.

Main Paineframe posted:

They think that if the government did something like that to white self-proclaimed patriots, gun owners all over the nation would rise up in revolt against the government, the military and National Guard and local sheriffs would all stand aside and refuse to put down the rebellion, the government would be forced to step down and be replaced by libertarians somehow, and in the end they would all be revered as heroic martyrs who died Making America Great Again.

"stupid rednecks and their stupid gun fetish, we should enact gun control!"

If that wasn't the insinuation then my bad I guess but it does seem like a very popular segue into a "and that's why we don't need guns anymore!"

I was one of the 2-3 that laughed at the idea of armed rebellion as you put it. I think that the 2nd amendment is cool & good for self defense, hunting, sports, whatever. But I also think that the "so I can revolt against the government" justification for it is far outdated and indeed silly.

That's all.

Well then we disagree and that's okay. I just wanted to give my reasoning and point out some recent events in which civilians overcame a vastly technologically superior force. :shrug:

I'm totally with you, but an influx of actual metered drugs into society would basically cut off the heroin ODs. You then have the problems that loose opiate prescriptions have inherent to them, but I think that's an easier row to hoe. Basically by cutting off the hillbilly heroin fountain cold turkey people were forced onto the black market. Heroin is easier to get than oxy now in most places with the added bonus of possible lethality from a single dose.

big cock Salaryman posted:

So I won't go into detail but a while ago I ended up obtaining a few mg of the king of all opioids, pure Carfentanil off I'm sure you know where.
Obviously knowing how dangerous this drug is I attempted to be careful about handling it once it arrived, although as I soon discovered, I wasn't careful enough.
It arrived early one morning and I was quite amazed it made it to Australia, as we are supposed to have the strictest border security in the world. I was very excited as the amount I had ordered would surely satisfy my opioid cravings for many lifetimes. I immediately went to my local pharmacy and purchased latex gloves and a needle-less syringe. I got dressed in long pants and a long sleeved hoodie, put on my hairnet and glasses, tied multiple scarfs and bandanas around my face and you know essentially got into my ghetto breaking bad attire.
I very carefully opened the letter and pulled out the bag, nearly shaking with excitement and anxiety. I measured out 10mg and diluted it into 1l of water, which should in theory give me 10ug's per ml of water. I closed up the bottle and put everything away and went to sort out my morning activities before I was going to test it.
About 30 minutes later (before trying it!) I was in a conversation with my landlord when I realised I felt sick and was noticeably having multiple heart palpitations. I excused myself and walked back to my apartment, feeling quite faint. I sat down for a minute evaluating what the gently caress had happened. How did I manage to do this? Was my makeshift hazmat suit not enough to shield me from this stuff? I collapsed onto my bed.
I lay there realising I had nearly lost the ability to move. My heart was beating extremely slow (40-50bpm in a dude with a normal pulse of 100), it felt like it was going to fail any minute. It was a struggle to breathe, I had to remind myself every 30 seconds or so to do it while I was desperately fighting the extremely intense nod. I could finally see why they sedate elephants with this poo poo, this wasn't heroin, I was completely paralysed.
I lay there for about 4 hours without even being able to lift my head in a state of panicked tranquility. It felt amazing but I knew if I passed out I would surely stop breathing and the intense slow heart rate and skipped beats made my chest very very uncomfortable. I wanted to call an ambulance but I legitimately couldn't move my arms. poo poo, I could barely breathe.
It was about this time my friend entered the room as I had left the door open in hopes someone would find me in case I legitimately overdosed. He tried talking to me but all I could manage to say was a mumble about how sick I felt. He knew I had ordered this stuff but he had no idea what it was so I think he just assumed I was tripping balls. He just said I'll close your door so no one steals your poo poo and left. Great, now no chance of rescue.
Another few hours went by when I finally gained control of my neck muscles and managed to prop my head against the wall. It continued on like this for nearly 8 more hours, slowly regaining control of my body until I could sit up and move around. I couldn't stand up at all without becoming extremely dizzy and collapsing back onto my bed so I kinda just leaned over the side of it waiting to throw up but it never ended up happening.
It legitimately took about a day before I regained my full motor skills and 3 days before my heart rate was back to normal. Its been a month now and the bottle of solution is still in my fridge, having never been tried as I know all I need to do to dose myself is simply breathe near it.
On the bright side this has put me off opiates for a while. But seriously guys, I'm sure you know this but don't go near Carfentanil without a barrel of Narcan and a legitimate loving spacesuit on. Only elephants can have fun with this stuff.
