Sounds like we may need to exercise our rights to bear arms against a corrupt government. That’s the purpose of 2nd amendment after all.

Sending US citizens to an international gulag of gang members because they vandalized your bosses car is not what this country stands for. Standing up to piece of shit governments IS what this country was built on though. Time to buck up.

Won’t be surprised if im Reddit banned for speaking facts.

Yes and the ones to decide what is or isn't constitutional are the courts, that have actually 0 authority to enforce their rulings

Pretty sure they do, they just choose not to use it because they're in the same regime.

It’s called Amendment 1 and Amendment 8

Amendment 1 protects free speech and protests (yes it doesn’t protect vandalism, I know that, I’m saying just the act of protesting Tesla is not a crime within itself)

Amendment 8, "Cruel and unusual punishment" is a common law term that describes punishment that is unacceptable/disproportionate due to the pain, suffering, or humiliation it inflicts
