Our country's fetishizing of guns is revolting

Start in the South

That worked out really well for them last time.

Need to raise an army here? Start in the South.

The problem with the US is that people have forgotten about the Hatfields and McCoys.

And so has the government.

 

[WifePleaseher]

The legitimate uses of privately owned firearms are:
1. Personal/home defense.
2. Hunting.
3. Gun collecting as a hobby.
4. Target shooting as a sport/hobby.

And that's all. End of list. Note that none of these are political uses. They have nothing to do with "defending freedom." There are no circumstances, none at all, in which you get to bear arms against LEOs, or the National Guard, or the Army.

So just why, for what purpose, did the Founding Fathers codify the natural rights of Citizens to bear arms, having fought and prevailed against the British Crown...their own Government at the time?

I realize for many it is an issue that is hard to grasp.

Southerners are the pollution that is destroying this country, and I say that as an umpteenth-generation Floridian.

Such an angry little man.

I wonder if you took time to analyze why the majority of the country voted like the south during this last election. Even most of the north voted against the corrupt demorats and their woke nonsense.

Alvin was just feeding the kids.

This country's love affair with guns is revolting. ..And we're so far gone we don't see it for what it is - a twisted, psychotic fetish.

Move to Europe.

I saw one of the new Operator AOS's at the local shop today.......

Might have to pick one up in GAWDZ caliber as St. John Moses Browning intended the 1911 to be.

Not that there is anything wrong with that I just wish they had them in 10mm so I could have both.

Vegas doesn't take into account that during a real, full out revolution, that some, perhaps even a majority of the military and their assets, either will not kill their fellow citizens or will join the rebel forces. No one knows, or will know, what would happen until it does happen. The PR disaster that would occur if tanks and fighter planes killed hundreds or thousands of citizens would leave long lasting wounds.

.45 ALL THE WAY!!

9mm.

If someone would hand me full mags, I could conquer the world with a 1911 in 9mm. They are fast, light, accurate, and you can shoot one all day long without much fatigue.

To facilitate a militia-based national defense system. Not to facilitate insurrection -- the militia was conceived as an arm of the state, not a countervailing force against it -- that is why the Constitution authorizes the president to command the militia.

Not so much.

That's never going to happen.

Especially if you use Cop KillerTM ammo.

 

[HisArpy]

Normal ammo works just fine for me because I know how to hit my target and don't need special heart-seeker ammo to get 'r done.

Besides, according to some, a regular 9mm will blow your lungs out. No one needs to blow off both arms and legs in addition to that. So that rules out specialized ammo along with AR-15's and other weapons of war.

9mm. No one needs more than that along with a really strong desire to rule the world to become Emperor of de Earf.

Mmmhmmm but if I'm doing 9mm I like a double stack.

Stackydoo P out of Tejas is where it's at imo........like a buttered up sewing machine.

[UltraChad]

To facilitate a militia-based national defense system. Not to facilitate insurrection --

Can be both as the state is often the biggest threat to the people.

the militia was conceived as an arm of the state,

Literally the opposite.

that is why the Constitution authorizes the president to command the militia.

It also doesn't require the militia to obey POTUS nor does it require POTUS authorization for the militia to exist.

It's a civilian defense force separate from the state, the people are allowed to defend themselves.....no matter how much that continues to trigger and upset you and the other anti-civil rights folks like you.

 

[Politruk]

It also doesn't require the militia to obey POTUS

Yes, it does.

It's a civilian defense force separate from the state

No, it isn't. The FFs certainly never had this kind of thing in mind.

 

[UltraChad]

Yes, it does.

No, it doesn't. The militia is not the military.

No, it isn't.

It's the literal definition of militia and what distinguishes militias from militaries.

You fucking moron.

The FFs certainly never had this kind of thing in mind.

Then why did they write it up DIRECTLY AND EXPLICITLY as such??

They couldn't have been more specific and clear about it.

When are you going to realize the FF's weren't a bunch of authoritarian ultra-statist communist you like to fantasize about???

 

[Politruk]

It's the literal definition of militia.

"Private military force not authorized or commanded by the state" is not the definition of militia.
