Take confort, I see at least 1 to 2 upcoming retirements of USSC Justice(s) coming up sometime between end of this term and end of next. This will go in Trump’s favor.

THEY have blood on their hands. They’re glad coach Feis didn’t have a gun and refuse to allow his replacement to have one.

Very good article!

I don’t understand how “Fredo” + “Conservative” work together — what Fredocon means exactly. I know the words separately, but together...?

In 2013, the Broward County School Board, in collusion with Eric Holder and the Obama Administration, put in place policies to prevent crimes comitted by minority students in school from being reported to the police!!!

Cruz was considered minority due to his last name. He previously brought bullets in his backpack! He comitted numerous crimes on school grounds, was caught, and never reported to police. They weren’t allowed to!

Please spread it far and wide. Copypasta this post to other school shooting threads. Post on facebook. Email to friends.

“Broward County schools intentionally created polices from 2010 through 2016 that culminated in the 2018 mass school shooting in Parkland. We know this with great specificity because five years ago we warned Broward County Florida school board members this could happen.”

Numbers 1 & 2. While SCOTUS decisions are factual, the arguments in both 1 & 2 are WAY overstated. As are most of the explanations of how militia applies in the posts that follow.

In the context of the time, a “well-regulated militia” was a reference to a state or national army. This clause simply acknowledges that an army is necessary to the defense of a country. The next part then establishes that the PEOPLE must be able to bear arms in case that militia turns on the people.

Penn and Teller said better and more succinctly than I’ve seen anywhere else. WARNING: adult language.

Speaking of Venezuela and AR-15 one of the victims at the school shooting at the highschool in Florida last week was from Venezuela, and he had just become a US Citizen

Sheesh, right off the bat, literacy problem. What is “the militia?” Answer, it has nothing to do with being armed, and everything to do with being able-bodied. The militia is that portion of the citizen populace that is able bodied, whether they are armed or not. Most readers of Schlicter’s article, even those who oppose him, are in the militia.

-- This dangerously flawed article was written by a lazy Townhall publisher. --

Yep.

10 USC 246 - Militia composition

Plus numerous case law references to "what the militia is."

I'd never even heard of this. I kept asking myself: why wouldn't the school report their fear of Cruz coming to the school with a backpack? to the police? Now I have the answer.

This is totally outrageous!!!

No it wasn't, at least a state or national army was not viewed as the only "well-regulated militia."

The constitution distinguishes between Army, Navy and the Militia. The able-bodied citizens are the Militia.

To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

To provide and maintain a Navy;

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
