The purpose of the second amendment is so that people have the same capability as 'some governmental entity'
The purpose of the second amendment is to give people the ability to shoot people in positions of some claimed authority.
However it is also said to be well regulated militia. That means not lone wolves or crazies, but is the concept of decentralization of power.
So as said before, the federal government should not be able to nationalize State Guard units, nor set up Federal control over state police.
However Bullets don't work, the weapons used against people, (including against people in government) by some that claim to have authority, including private sector governments are other weapons. They started using information control, money control and many other methods as weapons against people. Threats of economic sanctions against people by removal of health care, or removal of jobs and food, things like that are weapons.
Private sector governance are not using bullets against people, they are using system controls to trash the economy, or report the economy as trashed to move people to support what they want them to.
Private sector governances are using the claim that people need money to win an election so they can buy elections.
They are not using bullets on people(in most cases), and by using those systems even if someone does shoot someone, they shoot the wrong people, since they don't know where the problem is.
The following of the second amendment should be allowing groups of civilians to know of how information systems and threats of hardships can be used against people to move a governmental agenda, and theoretically by things like taxation and diversified media, and lack of secrecy in private sector manipulations of information systems or the economy.
And I am not talking about Government, I am talking about private sector money, both foreign and in the US, that is behind government.
On a side note if you think on Sun Tzu's writings he speaks about war and diplomacy as part of the same thing. Although he writes on that to move away from war to better diplomacy, but many people think if diplomacy does not work, wars, or bullets, are just another logical step. The concept of going to bullets would be used if diplomacy did not achieve a result in that philosophy. Many that do not get what they want will go to hurting people by controlling economic systems or removal of economic items as a weapon against society for their power.
Do you really think tax cuts for the rich was not done at the end of a 'gun'? There weapons are threats of hurting society in ways other then bullets.
On a side note, I am fairly certain some people are reading these posts, and many good people are trying to solve problems without violence, and to help people think on the better ideas of resolving differences without violence. I don't have any issues with them, nor do I think violence is the answer, since I think it is wrong, and it doesn't work anyways, it only hurts its own cause, and hurts the wrong groups. Many people are talking about better concepts and educational ideas in many places, that really is a good result.
However
There is something else, if people are reading these posts, and even making comments about them in many places, Why haven't they corrected the due of beer and travel money?
On a side note, making a bullet cost 5000 dollars would be moving power to money, that is a wrong concept, the correction is educating people to who the people are that are causing problems, and by giving them methods to correct problems.
So what if some groups will not listen to the people, nor the problems the people were wrongly put in? What if the people have a valid argument and claim and that is ignored?
I ask this, if the people have a valid claim and argument, and that is not enacted because of money forces behind the government, then what would you suggest people do about that situation?
They would say 'get use to it.'
I say, 'they get none.'
And because I can see this clip and song not about violence or wars, I think it is a good song and clip.
