“I believe we will have to make that choice in our lifetime.”
Once the snowflake generation assumes full control of the levers of power.
True that... private militias should have access to anything that they allow their gov’t to have.
Here's another idea.
What if there existed a globalist cabal that wanted the USA on it's knees and willing to do it's bidding?
What if there were men and women working in our government and intelligence communities so committed to that idea that they were willing to do anything to achieve that goal?
What's an indispensable fist step in that process?
Could it be disarming the American public?
How best to disarm a country with 300 million legally owned firearms is private hands?
Easy.
Make the people demand it. Do school killings help achieve that goal?
Who's behind school shootings?
Do you believe that it's a coincidence that all school shooters are on antidepressants, seeing therapists, have been the subject of numerous tips to the FBI and local authorities?
Just some things I've been thinking about...
Amen Brother!!
But you’re supposed to assimilate to the Borg.
Fossil fuels are worse than hitler, stalin, pol pot, and Mao combined. :)
This idiotic article just creates another false crisis. Of course it’s worth dying for but that’s not what is facing us.
What is happening is a perceived crisis of security in schools.
The immediate answer is to immediately secure the schools (with more guns being a major component).
Without the Second Amendment, there is no First Amendment.
Great quote, but there’s no evidence it was ever said by Jefferson. First time it was attributed to him in print was 2007.
YESSSS!
It, like the entire US Constitution and Constitution of Maine, are worth fighting for, worth killing for, and if needs be dying for.
Do away w the 2nd amendment, and the state can do whatever it wants without repercussions. For those who forgot, the Bill Of Rights are inalienable.
The first ten Amendments are called the Bill of Rights for a reason. The Founding Fathers intended them to be an innumeration of individual liberties. I fear that the anti gun hysteria could bring about the first alteration or even repeal of part of the Bill of Rights and start us down the slippery slope of even further repeals. The First Amendment could quickly be victim of political correctness and the Fourth and Fifth Amendment soon there after. Our Bill of Rights could become nothing but a memory in a generation.
Why I will never give up my 2A rights while I am still physically able.
Sounds like what Ron Paul and his type said when the Patriot Act was first proposed ... back in the 1990s by Bill Clinton. Remember, it was originally proposed by Bill. It did not pass the Republican Congress.
Post 911 it was given a new name, a few more buzzwords, the cloak of 911, and passed.
Here’s a question....Would people arms themselves to defend the 1st Amendment? Would journalists?
Solzhenitsyn understood the importance of the second amendment...
“What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, polkers, or whatever else was at hand?”
In the military, we were sworn in to PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION. All of it, not most of it. What part would you not protect?
frankly, yes.
this would be the hill I would choose to die on, if I am pushed to choose.

Wellll, OK but if you go by ‘today’s standards’ he could have said it and probably would have had he thought about it and if he could foresee the future.
You know, the crowd that says there would be no 2nd Amendment if the founding dads had ever heard about AK47s or ABombs or HBombs or even FBombs...
The only reason we have it is the only ‘major’ weapon was a musket or some other trite.
(YOU can see I don’t take criticism well...<: <: <:)
Yep.
I'm the perfect recruit, too: No wife, no kids.
Sure. When are you free?
Huah. (That’s an agreement)
