In our history there was never as great a justification for armed insurrection against tyranny than the Civil Rights struggle
However, they correctly realized that violence would beget violence and that they would be proclaimed the villain and would be forcefully put down
Instead, they accepted the beatings, jailings, bombings, lynching, spitting and whatever else was thrown at them
It took immense courage and dignity to turn the other cheek to an aggressor and allow the wrath of the public to be directed against the aggressors
What you SAID was that tyranny can be defeated without guns. Showing an example where that has proved to be more or less true does not mean that it can always be defeated without guns.
Our history shows armed insurrections will be forcefully put down and those involved will be shot or jailed. Our Constitution provides a mechanism to peacefully resolve your grievances with the Government
The question is not whether the other side will be inclined to fight too.
The point is that tyrants act tyrannically.
And there are times when the only way to defeat a tyrant is by resort to force and arms.
Many liberals tend to reject it, but it's true nonetheless. It is why we have the second amendment.
