They have produced a financial tyranny in the United States, not a military dictatorship. That's what my first post is about.
I don't totally agree with you that people who support conservative economics are "staunch 2nd amendment supporters". I think a lot of people who vote for Republicans are, but they seem to be more often the ones who vote on social issues rather than financial policy. Those folks aren't the engineers of the financial crisis, they simply enable the worst of the people who are. Ultimately most 2nd amendment supporters are working class people, and will ultimately be victims of these economic policies just like the rest of us. Elite rightists would take away every private gun in this country just as fast as elite leftists.
Personally, I am a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment, for the purpose of defending against totalitarian regimes.
