| Armed insurrection in America Frequently during Volconvo debates self-styled freedom-loving Libertarians have claimed that if their liberty was unduly curtailed by "socialists" they'd take up arms and overthrow the government. Indeed, the claim is that the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms implicitly allows American citizens to overthrow their government.
I'd be interested in understanding under what scenario would the revolution begin. I'd like to know what military methods the freedom-loving Libertarians would actually use to overthrow the government. And, I'd be even more interested in knowing what kind of government they'd establish and how they would impose it and enforce it. Lastly, having won their revolution and imposed their new government, I'd like to know how they plan to treat people who don't agree with them, particularly the socialists who might in turn launch a counter-revolution because surely the freedom-loving Libertarians wouldn't deprive the socialists of weapons.
