The 2nd amendment isn’t about begging or protesting - it is “the right to bear arms” that “shall not be infringed”. Once you allow your rights to be taken away then you are basically saying “I don’t want to be free” and you deserve jail and worse.Well you are also supposed to do it publicly. Like what MLK and Ghandi did. Doing it in secret isn't really the same thing.
I respect the true patriots that refuse to hand in their magazines: the Founding Fathers would be looking down proudly.
