  12. I've no problem with the second amendment, within its context. The militia, due to the various militia acts, remains military aged individuals (originally only men, but fairly recently changed) of military age and of sound mind and body. Hence, regulation on who can lug around what, where and when, as well as when assembly while armed or for armed purpose is allowed. Now, go ahead and say we don't regulate those things. Show me where someone can legally enter a school with a machine gun or artillery piece (yes, you can legally own both, pass the background check and pay the $200 tax stamp, it's yours (and each round for the artillery piece also being a $200 tax stamp item)). You can't, as that's unlawful and indeed, a felony. The militia is also prohibited from mobilizing itself and just charging forth on mythical missions - their government has to call them up to protect their nation, state or county. And I am a multiple firearms owner, who properly secures his firearms and am both a competition marksman, occasional hunter and happily retired military veteran. Regulation on activities with firearms predate this nation, one law I reviewed from Philadelphia prohibited celebratory gunfire within city limits generations before the Declaration of Independence and was retained when we became a nation. But, the NRA was, during my lifetime, hijacked by the industry in response to NRA support for the Gun Control Act of 1968, usurping the sportsmen and women alike and turning the organization into a political industry support group. Oh, training of the unorganized militia is conducted by the Civilian Marksmanship Program, a federally regulated and created organization. I am a proponent for the concealed carry on one's person of howitzers. 105 mm and up. Google the things to get that joke. My personal carry weapon being an M65 Atomic Annie. I figure nobody will bother someone concealing an 11 inch bore, nuclear capable cannon that's 86 tons and 85 feet long. :P OK, stopped carrying decades ago, when I figured out out sporting an armed criminal would have to be to allow me to get mine out to equalize the odds...* *Yes, I'm serious there. After figuring that out while having to clean the damnable thing, yet again, I locked it up and only removed it to go to the range to defend myself from the tyranny of unperforated X rings on round targets.

  17. Huh, "The Soroses", so George got himself cloned and was running around the nation handing out cash? Must've missed the clone with the wheelbarrow full of cash! Must be that new cloaked wheelbarrow that Wonder Woman flew around in. And that had what to do with firearms safety again? Oh wait, lemme guess, ANTIFA ebil, fascism is cool, gotya. "Unarmed, the government can do anything they want with you", OK, lemme think now really, really hard. Explain how your 9mm and dinky little AK or AR is gonna win against a B-52 again? A howitzer? A tank? A gunship? An ATACMS system? A 120 mm mortar? Just getting started and what I've listed can eliminate all life in a five square mile area in minutes. Do tell this veteran more about small arms repelling an invading army, maybe the Taliban will learn something, since they couldn't even slow our entry into their nation and we did degrade Al Qaeda down from blowing up US embassies all over Africa and destroying a pair of large office buildings to embarrassments like a caught printer bomb by mail, a diaper bomb and a shoe bomb that'd embarrass Maxwell Smart. Tell me more, I purr, as I proceed to eat the leopard's face... For the record, I do own and compete with an M1A, AR15 and M1911 and also believe that firearms are investments and investments get protected by secure storage. And that the NFA needs to be expanded to place semiautomatic firearms derived from selective fire military service rifles into a class equal to suppressors. And a hint, suppressors aren't very difficult to purchase at all, but the background check is about as intrusive as a colonoscopy. Or acquiring a security clearance. I've no inclination to get a suppressor, as they wear out too quickly and really won't give me any real benefit in competition (indeed, they're disallowed for precision marksmanship competitions I enter). I've absolutely no use for a paycheck eliminator, aka machine gun, but won't begrudge anyone wealthy enough to piss their money away that way - once they pass the screening that's equal to getting a TS clearance. And believe it or not, you can also legally buy artillery, each and every high explosive round being an NFA destructive weapon and costing a $200 tax stamp itself and thanks, but no thanks, I'll take a demied version of a howitzer that can't make rude noises and give it to a VFW post. I do believe though in the utterly unrestricted right to keep and arm bears. I'm confused with "It's pretty difficult to buy one on your own", erm, what? Go to a gun shop, pay for the weapon, fill out a 4473, clerk calls or enters the info into the computer, NICS does the background check, collect one's receipt and firearm and leaves. I can literally go to the gun shop right now and be in and out in around 20 minutes with a firearm, if I wasn't flat out broke and wanted yet another thing to have to clean quarterly. Not very interested though, got two hands, that means one at a time and if I'm not using the thing, why would I want it cluttering up my safe? Two competition rifles in different calibers, two hunting rifles for different environments, two pistols for pistol fire competition and practice is more than enough maintenance for my needs, never could figure out the bozo that has a half dozen AR's of the same type and still only has two hands. But then, never did hang around with such yahoos, way too unsafe on a range. And having sold firearms that were used, so that I could replace them with less worn models, I've always taken handguns to a gun shop for a 4473 and NICS check and paid for it, just for peace of mind and long guns, I'm super careful of, although those I've only worn down one enough to require replacement.
