If they try to turn this into a South Africa type fight I will defend myself and family. I need to rotate my ammo supply anyway.

Thanks a lot, I spit Mountain Dew on the screen!

My take is this:
Identity politic is destroying this nation. A war, likely a guerilla/terrorist one, will likely escalate the divide. It may get violent.
If the government man comes for my guns, we've lost and the US is doomed.
We should be vigilant to protect our rights. To hopefully prevent this, how is unclear.
I had to read it several times but I think that's the gist of it.

I would like to add that I believe all youth should serve for two years after high school. Military, peace corp, etc.

Make them a good citizen who knows what it means to serve and a lot of this crap will sort itself

Somebody, I recall not whom, any more, pointed out it is possible to have your cake and eat it, too. That what you can't do is eat your cake and have it, too.

No, no we have it wrong... In parts of Utah:

"You can have your Kate and Edith, too".

Although I agree, the original version of the phrase was "eat your cake and have it, too", not the other way around.

And a hundred years ago, there were no antibiotics, but that changed. Things change. Change changes things by changing them.

OK, so here's the deal, TheShootist. You are not to create any new threads of this nature in this forum. It's ridiculous for you to lay down all this pedantic bullshit and then fail to be clear about what you are saying.
You are not to presume that you are in a position to lecture the members of this forum about the Constitution. You are welcome to be a member here, but your lecturing days in this forum are over. Anyone who presumes to take on such a role here needs to make their remarks clear and unambiguous, and you can't seem to do that.

Never seen anyone self qualify as the absolute irrefutable truth as much as the OP. Good thing he wasn't banned, that'd be akin to banning god.

Only thing better than getting the word straight from the man himself, is being able to understand it.

In this forum, we speak plain fucking English.

Try it. You'd be surprised at all the bullshit you can cut through with plain speaking.

I always heard it as "Pie are round; cornbread are square".

NPR had the owner of Dicks on thismorning. That guy spouted the "I own guns and understand the second amendment" nonsense of what I'd call a Fudd. Follow that up with the "no one needs assault rifles."

Our friend here, who should come and explain himself, seems like another stripe of Fudd to me. He may not intend it that way, but the way he's been speaking about the Second Amendment is divisive and exclusionary.

He seems obsessed with the Militia portion of the 2A, to a point that is unhealthy, frankly. At the very least, he has seemed to do what a lot of Leftist do, which is:

Let me tell you my position and that I'm awesome

Let me tell you your position

Your position is wrong, and you're a bad person

I'm smarter than you, maybe you can understand if you try hard, and you might be as good as me some day

My moral high ground is unassailable by any means

When really, we should be promoting the rights of all gun owners, in any positive way. We should look for ways to come together as a group, not divide ourselves into hunters, target shooters, survivalists, preppers, reenactors, collectors, plinkers, historians, constitutional scholars, etc.

He's so special.

He's so special, I'm about one angstrom from pulling the plug on his special ass.

Yeah, I see that you logged onto the forum last night, Mister Fucking Fabulous. Making your rounds on all the forums to straighten out all the clueless dolts. What, no more lectures?

Come on, you're a COMPSTITUTIONAL SCHOLAR, ain't ya? You should be laying down the truth- as only YOU know it- to all we simple-minded yokels. We're lost without your conceited horse shit, man. You gotta save us from ourselves.

BTW, it's pronounced mil-eh-tee-uh, not mil-ish-uh, duh. Hell, even we know that.

Disappointing.

If he can't be bothered to engage here, how is he an ally against the Left?

It would appear my initial assessment was correct, in that he's a Fudd. An intellectual snob of a fudd, above and disinterested by the unwashed, who he will speak down to from on high but not associate with.

Mr. Shootist, sir, I imagine you're reading this. If you're an advocate and an ally for the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms, you have not demonstrated such with your absence from this thread. Certainly as time passes, it isn't going to get easier to both state your case and maintain a reputation here.

Put in the simplest terms, if you assume that most people on most gun forums are intellectually below you, you're already on your way to being a leftist. We can all read your enthusiasm for the first part of 2A, which I believe is actually a weak position. I'd be happy to debate such. As I'm sure would others.

But, apparently we're all dumb and don't rate your participation. In a thread you started. In which we can make assumptions you don't have the stones to clearly state, or stand behind.

I hear Dicks is hiring. They don't want regular people to have guns either. You'd like it there.
