Key on "breach of allegiance"
TREASON, crim. law. This word imports a betraying, treachery, or breach of allegiance. 4 Bl. Com. 75.
2. The constitution of the United States, art. 3, s. 3, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war (q.v.) against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offence is punished with death.
Key on "aid or comfort"
AID AND COMFORT. The constitution of the United States, art. 8, s. 3, declares, that adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort, shall be treason. These words, as they are to be understood in the constitution, have not received a full judicial construction. They import, however, help, support, assistance, countenance, encouragement. The word aid, which occurs in the Stat. West. 1, c. 14, is explained by Lord Coke (2 just. 182) as comprehending all persons counselling, abetting, plotting, assenting, consenting, and encouraging to do the act, (and he adds, what is not applicable to the Crime to treason,) who are not present when the act is done, See, also, 1 Burn's Justice, 5, 6; 4 Bl. Com. 37, 38.
So, what say you? Is the attempt of revocation or restriction of your 2nd amendment rights a breach of allegiance by those elected officials who swore an oath of allegiance to uphold the constitution?
Are those who support, lobby, and vote for it guilty of giving aid or comfort?
What say you peasants, You second class citizens?

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think we are at war, I think there needs to be some controls, but they need to deal more with background checks and mental health issues than banning a 30 round magazine, a gun doesn't kill, a person kills, the gun is just the tool being used, sad some people can't see the difference

Perhaps...maybe you will like:
SEDITION
Conduct which is directed against a government and which tends toward insurrection but does not amount to treason. Treasonous conduct consists of levying war against the United States or of adhering to its enemies, giving them aid and comfort.
The raising commotions or disturbances in the state; it is a revolt against legitimate authority.
The distinction between sedition and treason consists in this, that though its ultimate object is a violation of the public peace, or at least such a course of measures as evidently engenders it, yet it does not aim at direct and open violence against the laws, or the subversion of the Constitution. The. obnoxious and obsolete act of July 14, 1798, was called the sedition law, because its professed object was to prevent disturbances.In the Scotch law, sedition is either verbal or real. Verbal is inferred from the uttering of words tending to create discord between the king and his people; real sedition is generally committed by convocating together any considerable number of people, without lawful authority, under the pretence of redressing some public grievance, to the disturbing of the public peace.

The reason for these you ask? If i wanted my way like govt so often does, i would use these to my advantage in the coming months on the peasants and second class citizens.
I dont think i would worry about the levy or declaration of war...as the us has been at war for a very long time with and without official/legal declarations.
