    I'm not quite sure how conservative opposition to civilian violence against federal police officers squares with their "insurrectionist" theory of the Second Amendment, which holds that civilians must bear arms so they can assassinate tyrannical officials.https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2016/08/trumps-assassination-joke-is-the-logical-endpoint-for-the-gop.html …

        I oppose all violence against government officials. But proponents of the insurrectionist theory of the Second Amendment do not. They argue that we have a right to bear arms so we can violently revolt against an oppressive state if necessary. But who decides when it's necessary?

        Proponents of the insurrectionist theory of the Second Amendment (including many Republican lawmakers) should explain why Portland's violent protesters are not simply vindicating their right to bear arms by rising up against what they deem to be a tyrannical police force.

        Conservatives don't view anyone fighting for a cause that does not advance one of their core beliefs to be a valid insurrectionist. They see the current protests as an invading enemy against their beliefs, and the current officials as doing God's work.

        I support free speech doesn’t mean I agree with all speech. 2A support works the same.

        Because the communists that are orchestrating the current riots are the threat to our liberty we were warned about.

        You can have your attempt at armed revolution. Have at it. Doesn't mean we have to agree with the cause. It's not that complicated.

        a) revolution is a collective right not an individual one b) the right must be properly predicated on government tyranny c) the objective of revolution is to restore self rule and preserve liberty d) if you think you checked the boxes mount up, but don't dare cry about opposition
