I would like to have a intelligent discussion about the horrible shooting that occurred today in Boulder, Co. No politics allowed.

Once again, you have no clue what you are talking about. Were I to have one of these horrid tools you call assault rifles, I GUARANTEE you that were such a situation to occur, all I need to do is take out the first 20 with said weapon and the rest will look elsewhere for easier pickings - someone like you, for instance.
Hard to have an insurrection when we are not at war, and the participants were unarmed. We will have to call that gathering a mostly peaceful protest, minus the looting and burning of buildings of course.
The 2nd Amendment was written for a fledgling country without a standing army. Not only that but settlers needed to defend themselves from savages and wild animals. Understanding the context of history makes all the difference.
No, it was written to prevent government tyranny. It is needed today more than ever.
Few comments in this thread have been stupider and more bigoted that yours and GamecockLifer. The only one that tops y'all is that KGwannaB, uscwatson21.
I'll bet many of you think "AR" in AR15 stands for assault rifles.

Small drones with ieds taped to them would be 1000x more effective against a tyrannical government than an AR.
You aren’t going to fight back the US military with small arms fire
There is a realm of anything is possible. It’s kind of like the old Groucho Marx line.
If we had some eggs we could have eggs and ham, if we had some ham.
Again my point is really just say I bought an AR because they look cool. All the talk about protecting myself from the government is just a talking point among the drinking buddies.
My plan. Leave them where they are. Add the "peaceful" protesters from the summer in with them.
Wrong. The constitution defines insurrection as a rebellion of citizens of a country against its government.
Sorry I’m late to the party but do I think people should be able to purchase assault rifles .... no . Would it make any difference in the amount of mass shootings ... absolutely not . 
os are going to be os and they will find a way . Tighter gun regs won’t stop that . On the flip side as a former gun owner I got rid of all my firearms . I have a teenage daughter with anxiety and in the last 4 years 3 of her classmates have committed suicide with guns that their parents had in the home . If someone breaks in my house I’m 250lbs , have a Louisville slugger by my bed and a 100lb pitbull ... I like my chances .

Congress going to take up "gun rights" while protecting themselves with National Guardsmen, Constantine wire and personal bodyguards. You can't make this crap up!
They want to leave us defenseless against people (criminal) who would still have these weapons. I'm telling you. You cannot put this toothpaste back in the tube!
As for the poster looking for a plan for dealing with the insurrectionists or the BLM/Antifa group, you are talking about a few hundred nut jobs in the capitol versus tens of thousands of people who killed hundreds and burned down businesses and courthouses?
Give me a break.

You know, my AR won't bring down a Blackhawk, but my Barrett M107A1 might.
These are warning signs we tend to ignore. Someone should report you. Mods should ban you. And I’m not joking. Wake up America.

My wife is 105 pounds and has a poodle. What are her chances?
There was no rebellion. There was a protest by people who felt the election was fraudulent. The problem is the government turned a blind eye to the actions of AntiFa and members of Congress who invited them but went after Trump supporters for exercising First Amendment rights.
Possibly but unlikely. There may be more military defectors there if something was to happen but you’d also see a much more ruthless response. Again times and weapons have changed dramatically and even in Vietnam we learned simply providing weapons and support doesn’t mean people are going to come along. No matter the conditions there will be a segment that is just content to go about their day as long as what is happening is “over there”.
It is also likely that the overthrow of the tyrannical government would simply lead to an even more tyrannical government. Having the ammunition to overthrow the government you don’t like isn’t the same as putting an equitable version in place. How many places have simply replaced one dictator for another even when they want to give the perception of a democracy?
Can you show me where the second amendment mentions government tyranny?
Personally I am a moderate that leans liberal. I think firearms should be allowed for citizens. I also think there should be background checks with a time delay for verification to complete. As long as the person passes a background check they should be good to go. The problem is all the states have differing rules. Years ago DC had strict gun laws but Virginia was a free for all. I think that’s an issue as well.
That’s true. There is quite a bit of difference in an AR and a 50 cal.
I know there's been a pandemic but you should get out more.
They were revolutionists that rebelled against an oppressive government. It's why it was written. Every country in the history of the world has faced tyranny. What makes us immune?
Why do you think that? Do you really believe you and 20 other guys are going to overrun Fort Jackson with a bunch of ARs?
its a tired talking point that is based on some metaphysical risk that has no glimpse of reality in consideration.
If the government wanted to track down your guns, it would be very easy for them to do so. People post pictures, text, take pictures, record videos, post on social media - all about their guns. A registry would make it marginally easier to track you down.
We want to guard what is ours. Nobody's overrunning anything. Why do you keep saying that?
RPFLMAO... one of those "lets get rid of the old Antiquated Costitution" liberals... So you are picking and choosing the parts you like??
Thomas Jefferson suggested constantly changing up the constitution every generation, he is one of my favorite founding fathers.
The difference is voluntary sharing of information vs an invasion of privacy. I'd be surprised if more than 1% of gun-owners have posted any pictures of their guns online.
What a ridiculous question that is just a figment of your diseased imagination. No, I don't. But if you think millions of well armed citizens familiar with the terrain and other intricacies of their respective areas, wouldn't be able to cause serious damage to a depleted, traitorous military trying to subjugate its own citizens, you're not being realistic.
As far as your bigoted comments, you and Gamecock Lifer know exactly what you're doing with the Jim Bob and Bubba and trailer park comments.
"being necessary to the security of a free State"
So get it changed. There are multiple avenues for doing just that.
So the BLM folks breaking through barriers and injuring 150 secret service agents at the White House were insurrectionist too.
