Let us look at the second amendment, shall we? quote:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. We have the need for a well regulated militia, that does not give one the right to take up arms against the government. Then there is "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." There is nothing that gives the people the right to take up arms against the United States Government. And the simple fact that an election does not go the way someone wants it to is not a reason to take up arms against the government. IF, an president of the United States takes any action that is in and of itself a move to eliminate congress, end the right to vote by the people, or otherwise become a dictator is a reason to take up arms against the government. However, since there is no legal means that a president can do any of that, and to even try he would have to have to overwhelming support of the military to even try and pull it off, pretty much makes the possibility nil, if not impossible.
