Reply #49: Monopoly on force?

[creeksneakers2]

There are too many RWs running around now who are crazy and can be instructed to do just about anything by talk radio. It scares me that they all have guns. They actually believe that if perceive their rights are being violated they have some God given right to shoot people. These people aren't lawyers and have no idea whether their rights are being violated or not.

The wingers base most of this on the idea that the constitution envisioned a right to rebellion. Rebellion wasn't intended. Shortly after the Constitution was enacted Washington led three state militias to put down a tax rebellion, the whiskey rebellion. So, we know that the founding fathers had no intent to allow armed people to take matters into their own hands.

If you are afraid of Fascism, I suggest you convince as many of your friends as possible to stop believing RW propaganda like Hannity or Limbaugh. Fascism is growing right now. The people who are falling for Fascism have been convinced to trust no other source of information but Fascist propaganda. If the propaganda told the wingers that the left was trying to steal an election, the RWs would cheer if the government stopped voters at gunpoint. RW guns aren't protecting us from Fascism. They are probably going to enforce Fascism.
