The second amendment was always important from the beginning. But the playing field had changed since then. Think for a second about what really goes on. The mass has been pacified not by a forceful use of the government arsenal. They were simply subjugated by "bread and circus". Obesity and media consumption are at the highest they have ever been. At the current state, it's not a better arsenal that we need to win over the government. That's such an outdated mode of thinking, which is something that could only come from a senior citizen. What we need more than ever is value reassessment and establishing a principle greater than just money. Each of us has to pull ourselves out of the knee jerk response to "more money" as the priority. The earlier meaningful memories in your life didn't have much to do with just money. But somewhere along the way, your value system was hijacked by the propaganda. It's not too late to find meaning in places other than just more money.
