Radio Host Argues Why The Second Amendment Has Nothing To Do With Protection From The Government

Thom Harmann is an American radio host and progressive commentator who made a video titled "The Second Amendment Isn't About Killing Politicians or Overthrowing Democracy."

Thom makes three deliberate points about why the Second Amendment has nothing to do with overthrowing a tyrannical government.

Thom argues that the Founding Fathers did not envision the need for citizens to overthrow the government with guns, as they were establishing a democracy, not a monarchy.

He points out that the primary concern was preventing a standing army from becoming a threat to the nation and maintaining state militias for defense purposes.

Additionally, he discusses how the Second Amendment was modified to address concerns about slave uprisings, particularly in states where militias also served as slave patrols.

Overall, he asserts that the Second Amendment was not about anticipating a future need for armed rebellion against the government.

Now, I'm going to debunk his argument.

I'm so sick of hearing "democracy". We're a Constitutional Republic that works "under" a democratic process. Meaning the people elect members of the public to "represent" us.

[pepepantuflas]

The 2nd amendment is about the ppl having power and not the government

If Goverment says "you don't need guns" then you NEED guns. - George Washington

[Incoghs]

The fact this, Thom Harmann thinks the founding fathers installed a "democracy" shows how ignorant this person is. "A Republic, if you can keep it"-BF

[Chef-vgpu]

This guy would be the first one to snitch out his neighbors and tell the politicians that you have guns in your house…

[mrfilamfishing]

The militia is NOT the National Guard. The militia is the PEOPLE. This guy is a nut job.

[ViejoLocuelo]

No, the founders didn’t believe a democracy was the way to go. They believed a republic, a representative republic was the way to go. That’s what we have and that is what the 2nd amendment protects.

[reymc]

The 2nd Amendment is simple, not complicated. You and I are the Militia! We are a Republic.

[spyersecol]

So he just ignored everything written by the founding fathers saying anything contradicting what he thinks.

[Anglsaxnknight]

Founders HATED “democracy” ! We have a Constitutional Republic

[benmaye]

And the Founders would definitely be rebelling against what our Federal Government has become.

[jakobroynon-fisher]

Why does no one mention how we aren't a democracy, we are a Constitutional Federal Republic.

The Founders did not want a more "democratic" government, they literally wanted a wholly republican form of government that has maximal liberty as its crown jewel.

The NG is NOT the militia! Militia are "non-professional fighting forces", not "part-time professional troops".

[Redacted-Information]

He is WRONG about the word
"MILITIA!"

[marklowe]

We do not have a democracy, we are a constitutional republic. End of discussion!

[oo-robu]

This guy knows nothing. The government has no authority to make any laws or regulations against arms per the constitution of the United States.

[Barskor]

Anyone who wants to disarm you does not have good intentions towards you.

[FrankGallagherr]

Who wants to see Biden, Harris, Newsom, Adams, Hochul, Bragg, James, Willis, Schumer out of office, impeached, prosecuted…? ?

[jeffflynn]

The irony is that we aren't free because of "democracy", we're free because of the Constitution.

[RL-RL]

This guy is the reason we have and need the 2nd ammendment!

[Generik]

The Second Amendment literally says "being necessary to the security of a free State"

The entire point of the Second Amendment is to keep a state (and the people within said state) free.

How is it I as a non-american understand the constitution better then an actual American? 😐
