Your recourse is political action and being enfranchised to vote, organize and petition.

That is actually funny, the fact that you feel that a government can not be tyrannical due to the fact that is a reprsentative republic couldn't be more false. During the inseption of the country, only land owners could vote, meaning only people with skin in the game. If you weren't paying in, you didn't get a say in were the moneys collected by the government would go. That since has changed, now I fear that more then 50% of the country is on the doal, and voting in people to give them more,more,more, and taking from us, leaving us with less,less,less. Less, money, less rights, and less freedom. Our representatives no longer represent the producers of this once great country, they represent the dead wood. We need to get back to our roots.
The gun argument is only one of many infringements that the government seems to be taking these days. That is a simple one, it states: Shall not be infringed . That needs no further explanation
