Most people aren't there yet. It takes a massive number of truly disaffected people to spark a real resistance. It also requires known leaders willing to head it up and organize, otherwise it's just disjointed actions that can't be capitalized on.
This is why the whole "hey 2A people, where you at" thing is so annoying; the Revolutionary War had leaders and organization from the get-go, because well-known figures were willing to step up and say, "bring your weapons, organize here". And it was people with their personal arms at first, until they seized armories.
Maybe we'll get there, hopefully not, but most people are still working their jobs and getting Starbucks and going to Target, and you don't just collectively go from that to shoosting directly. There's a lot of in-between.
2a people aren’t who they think they are.
Saying “hey 2a” is pointing out they are hypocrites. Finding “hey 2a” annoying is disliking when people point out hypocrisy.
Personally, I am partial to people who pointed out hypocrisy.
Except it's not hypocritical, because none of the pro-2A people, even the shitty ones, claim that the point is to immediately and unilaterally and without any coordination attack the government, and there's no claimed line in the sand that has been crossed that they have obliged themselves to.
And the people making this accusation are doing it because they're anti-2A, not because they actually want to see it utilized appropriately. People making this argument always pretend that only the right is pro-2A, when it's people like Huey P. Newton and Ida Wells and Harriet Tubman and John Brown (who were all "2A people") who prove why it's actually necessary, not the Cliven Bundys.
I think you need to spend more time on that first paragraph
If you have specific questions, I'm perfectly happy to expound.
Nah
