So you support militarizing our country.

Thanks for confirming.

I support using it to stop what amounts to lawlessness writ large in the Federal District. DC is not a state.

You support militarizing America.

Thanks again for confirming.

And don't forget the Guard deployments during the riots over that piece of scum George Floyd.

So you're saying that you think deployments of the national guard into our city streets is a good thing for America?

Neat!

Yes, you continue to insist that is true.

The National Guard never does shit like this:

When necessary, yes. That's their job.

 

[ll74]

Who decides when it is necessary?
If you disagree, does that matter to you?

If they say that an infinite force is required, is that their job?

I'm guessing that 30 day deployment in DC was created for a reason

The President or a governor of a state can deploy the National Guard. Those people decide when it is necessary and they always have. No one else does and the Guard has never self-deployed.

"Infinite force" would call for a deployment of the US military. The Guard is generally a mid-tier quasi-military organization.

You would almost think the felon has an action plan worked out for those homeless people. Maybe like the Gaza plan to build some very nice homes for them, very nice, so nice they would all just move there without a fuss and stay out of sight–certainly out of DC, amiright?

I'm a little fuzzy on the plan for locking up the criminals. Is that before or after they are convicted?

The real estate mogul only builds high-end housing, and even then, he goes bankrupt doing it.

The guard is the military. They are deployed overseas quite often. But you keep trying to rationalize whatever you need to.

"Scum"?

Really?

You want to live in a country where the police can just kill people, for no reason other than they think they are "scum"?

On the other hand, the National Guard seem less likely to kill unarmed civilians than the police.

On the other, other hand . . .

Unless the Guard is legally 'activated' they are just a bunch of civilians who get together on weekends and go LARPing around.

On any normal day they barely have the authority to buy fuel for their vehicles (no kidding).

Even when they're activated there's still all sorts of carve-outs that distinguish them from full-time military.

The term citizen warrior is still pretty accurate when applied to the Guard.

I just adore the way your Constitution restricts firearms to members of a "well-regulated militia"!

They are legally activated currently.

The President is creating a special forces unit of guard members to deploy to every city.

But sure......it's cool

We haven't had a normal day since Jan 20. We've been involved in multiple emergencies that require enhanced federal power.

Even when they're activated there's still all sorts of carve-outs that distinguish them from full-time military.

Until the President removes those.

Putin your fingers in your ears a little tighter
Maybe tighten up that blindfold.

(I was going to correct that typo, but it kinda works there so I'm cool with it)

What "emergency" is he going to come up with to justify prosecuting people for burning the American flag?

That was always one of the things that people not in your country really respect about the USA. There's no "blasphemy" law, no penalties for "insulting the king/president/dictator," no persecuting people for their speech. The fact that burning an American flag is legally protected speech is something quite admirable about America.

No, our Constitution does not restrict the people, it restricts the government.

The word "regulated" in your Constitution would seem to indicate otherwise.

 

[Baztrachian]

The word "regulated" in your Constitution would seem to indicate otherwise.

Your perception of the word 'regulated' is significantly different from the prevailing view of the late 1700's when that particular Amendment was composed.

https://legalclarity.org/what-does-well-regulated-mean-in-the-2nd-amendment/

In the 18th century, “well regulated” had a different connotation than its modern usage. It did not primarily imply extensive government control or bureaucratic oversight. Instead, it referred to a militia that was properly organized, disciplined, and effective in its function.

Yes, really. Scum, filth, a sack of shit wearing a human skin.

OK, I'll go with "organized" and "disciplined."

If you are properly "disciplined" I suspect that might even be better than overseen by a bureaucracy!

How about you? You willing to do the job as a private citizen? Decide who are the untermenschen and force them to kneel, put bullets in the backs of their heads and dump their bodies in the trench?

Those officers should have received "Community Service" awards.
