Can someone tell me where in the 2nd amendment it says you can carry machine guns?

Brian, the reason for the Second Amendment was covered early in this topic.  You are uninformed or choose to remain ignorant as to its true purpose. You have not paid attention to the history of the world, either recent or centuries past.  

Obama had tyrannical capabilities and acted upon them and Trump looks to be the same.  They have been offered that capability by lax SCOTUS rulings and by Establishment delight to rule by regulation.  The pendulum swings back with force when it has been pushed hard in the other direction.

I know it is much easier to believe in a utopia brought about by those who say they are looking out for us and know what is best to meet our needs.  It is also very easy to believe that nothing is changing and life as we have come to know it in the US will just go on without the necessity of action from us; the trash will get picked up, school buses will pick up the kids, the check will come in the mail, electricity will always be available, toilets will flush and the benign hand of the federal government will take care of all the bad things that threaten us....all we have to do is vote for the "right" people.

You go ahead, sweetie.  You can cite all the people you want to bolster your beliefs if it helps you.

You are wrong.  The slope continues slippery and has rapidly "progressed" during the 20th Century, but became even more treacherous during this century during the Bush and Obama administrations.  Progressives are patient Communists, even if they aren't aware that what they are doing helps to usher in Communism.  What is coming is anybody's guess, as Trump seems to be our most unprecedented leader, yet.  

I truly hope there never comes a time when you will be grateful that some of us take our rights and responsibilities seriously.   Of course, it is entirely possible that failing will just allow this "Grand Experiment" to slip forever into oblivion and most will never know what has been lost.  Still...there are many in foreign nations who hope the US can stand strong and remain a beacon of liberty to those who seek it.

It is all bound together in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution and Bill of Rights.  As They keep trying to unravel it, they know exactly what They are doing.

I am going to stop writing on this topic.

Knock it off, you sound like a theist arguing a holy book, "what would you know".

I do know that the First Amendment is an anti trust anti monopoly concept. IT MEANS NOBODY not one religion, not one political party not one class has the absolute right to dictate laws on everyone else. THAT IS WHY WE HAVE VOTING, don't like it, TOUGH SHIT.

Now, if you want to scream about government tyranny go look up the Whiskey Rebellion. OUR GOVERNMENT almost sent GOVERNMENT after their version of Cliven Bundy fuckface nuts who cried about taxes, the pussies backed off when OUR government made those threats.

Trump scares the crap out of me right now, so again, if it is about government tyranny can I take up arms against him? Funny thing is, even with that fear, considering the stupid shit he just did, and that the "die quickly" bill the GOP is trying to pass only has a 21% approval rating, unlike you, I think our system CAN WORK. I have more confidence than you do.

Better call Washington a tyrant too by your logic.
