Keep it on the table!

Reverend Broden is being lambasted for stating that revolution, in the event that all other means of effecting governmental change should fail, should not be taken off the table. Why is this at all controversial? That is our birthright as a nation! This is how we became a nation to begin with! That is the whole point of the second Amendment. It isn't to hunt, it isn't even for self defense, although it serves both of these functions. It's sole purpose is to ensure that the populace shall ALWAYS have the means of overthrowing a tyrannical government. Because the founding fathers knew, perhaps better than anyone, that ALL governments can, and probably eventually will become, tyrannical. And therefore ultimately the last check and balance on the system is a populace who decide that "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"
