[quote=Anonymous][quote]Furthermore, the citizenry should be armed with military grade weaponry to send a clear message to the government: you try to mess with us and you see Orlando? Well, try to get uppity and tyrannical and it will be the senate floor, supreme court room, or the house of reps where you'll see the gunning down. [/quote]

[b]Are you part of the David Koresh clan or something?[/b]

No.  Don't be silly.

[b]the only tyrannical leader that I think the US needs to be wary of is Trump.  In the history of our country, when has the public needed to rise up with weapons against our gov't other than during the revolutionary and civil war, one of which was to fight tyranny and the other to fight slavery and to keep the country together?[/b]

So far, fortunately, the public has not needed to rise up with weapons other than the two you mentionned.  The North was not so much for fighting against slavery (they really did not care what those stupid Southerners did with their cotton fields and buck-tooth banjo pickin') their primary intent was to keep the union together.  Lincoln wanted to deport the blacks back to Africa and yes, the blacks ought to have been able to amass arms and say to the government "Go ahead and try it!"  Fortunately, no such thing happened and hopefully no such thing will happen in the future.

You say if a tyrannical leader of the US attempted to mess with you (like maybe rounding up you and your people and putting them in detention centers), then you'd take up arms?  Well, one such prospective leader may try to do just that - Muslims, so then maybe they should rise up against the tyrant according to you?[/b]

Yes, if the government tried to round me up and put me away I would use all of the means at my disposal to prevent it after all legal means were exhausted.  I have not followed what Trump says, do not listen to his speeches because it is to me a bunch of hollering and gesturing without any substance to back it up.  So, I do not know what his plans are with Muslims.  If he intends to round up Muslims who are American citizens then yes, the Muslims ought to arm themselves and resist because they have the right to life, [u]liberty[/u], and the pursuit of happiness.   If the Muslims president elect Trump is talking about are illegal aliens then he has every right to detain, contain, and deport for they are not American 
citizens and have no right to anything other than as a guest to be here on a legal visa. [/quote]
