The Radical Middle Pt. 2

The Radical Middle love their guns. Boy, oh boy, do they love their guns. The Radical Middle hold the 2nd Amendment up on a pedestal, a tribute to the radical liberties that our Revolutionary government pioneered in the face of overwhelming tyrannies. A government granting their citizens the right to own their own weapons was seen as the fortifying element of an American government run by the people of America and not by an elevated bureaucracy.

What has this resulted in? It's resulted in the Radical Middle's resentment in every limitation imposed by the Federal Government on gun ownership. They have resented the restriction of magazine sizes, the ban on assault weapons, and the limitation on where we as citizens can fire our guns. They believe that they have the right to use their guns to defend themselves, their property, and their loved ones. They believe that the Constitution grants them the right to own guns as a safeguard against the government, sort of a self-check system which, when it reaches critical mass will result in a complete overhaul and renovation. These people believe that our government, as it stands currently, is fast approaching this state, where they will be not only able to, but obligated to overthrow our government and replace it with one by the people.

Notions of government overhaul are as old as time. History will tell how the cycle of revolution, development, prosperity, degradation, and, finally, revolution again, runs.
