We are fast approaching the first Anniversary of Jan 6, 2021; supporters of the attack say that they wanted to “ Stop the Steal.” A bunch of them were equipped with weapons like handguns; some even had semiautomatic weapons. Was this a legitimate use of the Second Amendment (to overthrow a tyrannical government)? I know there are different opinions, but revolution was one of the main purposes of the Second Amendment! But what about suicides, murders, and mass shootings? Does the Second Amendment also allow and protect these widespread events in our country?
