So an unelected figurehead of the federal government has come to my state, had a senator I voted for arrested over asking a question which is his civic duty to ask, and has now made threats at removal of my elected govenor as well as an elected mayor of one of the cities here.
At which point would these actions be considered tyrannical enough to provide a decent argument for a use of the 2nd amendment in court?
The 2nd amendment just says the government can’t take away your guns. It doesn’t say anything about it being okay for you to use them against the government.
I mean, hell, police kill people all the time, but the courts treat having a gun on your person as a reason the cops had to shoot you. So they can’t take away the gun, but they can take away your life for having it.
Basically you can use it as a security blanket to rock yourself to sleep at night, but get anywhere near the gestapo with it and you die a “terrorist.”
That’s a bridge that we’re just going to have to cross once they completely take over. We need them to have as much power as possible before we make a move. Also for the love of God don’t read, don’t protest, don’t act. Just wait.
Never, if we accept the intent of the 2nd amendment is to stop a tyrannical us government it does so be making sure you have the means for a rebellion (or the states actually). In that case you would not be judged for your actions like a criminal.
It of course does not apply to individuals taking action on their own (and they alone would not be able to bring down a regime). The best you could hope is a pardon/amnesty by a new pro democracy president/authority, if you are still alive.
haha you’re going to double down? like, I’m really trying to get through that first sentence and it’s total gore. at the very least there’s some missing punctuation but even when I try to put pauses in places where there should be commas it’s just a pile of lost plot. I’ve tried like 10 times and I don’t know why.
There’s some missing punctuation (and typos), in a social media post, written on a mobile phone, the horror! I 've switched to a PC with a proper, physical keyboard.
I am confused by your mention of pauses, are you reading it aloud and trying to split it when you need to breath? You should be identifying verbs, their subjects and their objects.
But I doubt either you, or the other downvoters do not actually understand my post. It’s far more likely you do, but it offends you.
It’s ironic that pro-democracy Americans can’t handle criticism of America’s mythology. Even more so, if you understand that using your, 2nd amendment protected, guns to stop tyranny is simply right wing propaganda to conceal their power fantasy of killing people they don’t like, with their 2nd amendment provided guns.

Your sarcasm isn’t blatant enough unfortunately.
2nd amendment held up in court the moment first legal citizen was detained by ice.
If you’re asking this question; you know the answer… you’ve just elected to not do anything about it.
The question is still relevant. We can see the problem but there are still a range of responses available.
“Elected” haha, I know who’s getting my “vote” this year!
You already know the answer to this and have chosen to ignore it.
Now

do me a favor and read what you wrote again. I think you’re trying to say something but it’s impossible to tell.
The issue is on your end, my message is clear.
