    We rose up against British law once and made a whole new country. We should do it again.

    I know right!? Crazy we did an illegal uprising and made a whole new place!

    How did we do it? Because laws aren’t real. Governments aren’t real. Constitutions are not real.

    We said “fuck it” and just started killing people until we wrote a new piece of paper.

    none of it is real

      Sure, none of it is real and we can change it. The problem is that “we” includes all the other people, and what is “real to us” is what we make of it.

      If the people collectively decide to abide by our current system of government, laws, and voting in order to not rock the boat, then trying to forcefully change that gets you labeled a terrorist or a criminal.

      But if enough people agree with you, then it starts getting closer to being a new thing.

      Wait, so your plan is for the people without guns to use guns to stand up to the people who want/own guns and the US gov, all to ban guns?

      Laws aren’t real, but the time you will end up spending in jail will sure feel real.

        Irrelevant. The point is we can change anything we want anytime we want for whatever reasons we want to because laws aren’t real.
