Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

The 2nd amendment just says the government can't take away your guns. It doesn't say anything about it being okay for you to use them against the government.
I mean, hell, police kill people all the time, but the courts treat having a gun on your person as a reason the cops had to shoot you. So they can't take away the gun, but they can take away your life for having it.
Basically you can use it as a security blanket to rock yourself to sleep at night, but get anywhere near the gestapo with it and you die a "terrorist."
