Timothy McVeigh was merely rising up against what he thought was a tyrannical government. He was declared sound of mind. He wasn't mental, he believed in his cause. Kind of ironic considering one of the arguments from the pro-gun side is the ability to overthrow a tyrannical government.

Given Mcveighs success with that, how do the rest of you think this is a scenario that will ever happen?

My understanding of the 2nd amendment is that it was so you could repel invaders (ie, the British) during a time you didn't have a standing army. It would allow the President to call up the population to bear arms and fight back.

Because honestly, how much shit will you let your government do before you rise up against them like you genuinely believe you will? Do you think for even a second you would be able to start the movement for such a revolution without the government snatching you up as a 'terroris't and throwing you in a dark hole?
