I'm not talking so much about the known wars of the 18th and 19th centuries, though those are certainly important and militias were most definitely a part of them. I'm talking about something that happened in the 20th century, when a group of people used their Second Amendment rights to overthrow a tyrannical government here.
"We don't have tyranny in the United States," some might argue, which is certainly one opinion. Others think we've had nothing by tyranny here for years, which is another.
But in the time following World War II, politics in the Deep South weren't exactly fair.
And in Athens, Tennessee, it was bad. It was ugly. The powers that be conspired to use their authority to steal from veterans, to oppress people who didn't like the status quo, and to steal elections.
A group of veterans decided enough was enough, and they stepped up.
