In my day he would have simply been referred to,as a First Class Radarman.

These days they may call it something else.

Oh, God. A missileer with a big mouth. "Navy weapons instructor", hmm? What a pity we all can't have our own private Aegis systems.

I was a "Navy Weapons Instructor" myself, a few steps senior to this bozo, and what I did in my last billet in FLEETTRAGRU was to teach the proper employment of rather largish guns and missiles to people who already had a fair grasp of their usage. It had nothing to do with small arms. It had nothing to do with SEALS or jumping behind enemy lines with a copy of the Communist Manifesto between my teeth. Not that I didn't...but it was on my own time.

if my 6 year-old son's life is less important than your right to own whatever firearm and ammunition you want, then say that.

I wonder if this guy has figured out yet that his 6-year-old's life may well be at risk if at some point he needs a firearm and training that these "common-sense" requirements would otherwise deny him? There isn't anything "common-sense" about disarming his kids in the face of a hostile world. In fact, there isn't anything "common-sense" in this entire screed.

LOL! Funny you say that. I was thinking the same thing - that this guy had nothing to do with small arms but was strictly Big Ass Weapons Systems.

dismaying but not without too many parallels elsewhere.
I value his son’s life ... that’s why I am against
unconstitutional infringements of the RKBA.

at this point, I want to see some proofs of service *and*
an authenticated video (of the text posted here)
Would hate to conclude someone is a GFW/Prozi disarmer
when they are not.,

it could very easily also indicate whether or not I ...carry concealed firearms.

While it's not indicated on your drivers license, you're already flagged with your state's DMV
