Good luck with the gardens. I've never really been a fan of US gun laws, but now it all seems strangely sensible.
This is the literal, specific scenario 2A was intended to counter. We'll have to see over the next few years if it works as intended.
It's both.
Your reply to osaerisxero was correct and made more sense before he ninja-edited.
People invoke 2A usually lie, and the reason to arm themselves is to kill dark skinned people they don't like.
this was always the reason for 2a: empowering white settlers to “defend” their land (stolen from indigenous people at gunpoint) and property (African slaves held in captivity at gunpoint).
The US don't have a few years it will probably not exist at the end of the years if nothing is done
Never underestimate how much damage a dying empire can do when lashing out trying to hold on to power. The world needs to prepare to deal with the US for decades if necessary.
A empire will exist for sure but it won't be the US anymore
It will be called that. But that's kind of already happened.
In most of the US they have HOA who likely forbid such things for an absurd fear that a slightly uglier house down in your street will tank your property's value.
