Mark Levin: The reason the 2nd amendment exists is to arm the population to overthrow a tyrannical government
Given all the gun talk lately, Mark Levin opened his show tonight clarifying the purpose of the 2nd amendment saying that it wasn’t for target shooting or hunting or anything else in that realm. He said that whether you like it or not or whether you agree with it or not, the reason why 2nd amendment exists is to arm the population in order to overthrow a tyrannical government. That’s it.
Well, as true as it is, [and that much is clear] it remains a tough fact to swallow in this militarized age that us being armed would be a deterrent to gov't tyranny. Let's just say, I wouldn't want to be around if it ever came to that.

That may be true, but it comes back to the old saying:
"I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees."
Can't remember who said that.
America's hope is not the donkey or the elephant, but the Lamb.
