Don't lecture me, I have spent more than half my life protecting the rights of Americans, been in two wars, shot twice and have two Purple Hearts and two Bronze Stars to show for it.
But laws are laws. If you don't like them, then try to get them changed. But in the meantime, if you don't follow them, then expect to find yourself being judged by a jury of your peers.
Civilians have no need whatsoever to own machine guns. If you choose to own one, you get the proper license. The law says that no civilian, except under certain licensing, can manufacture or convert a weapon into a machine gun. Militia "bubba clubs" have no authority vested in them whatsoever by any agency to fall under the same weapon classification categories as real militias, the State's National Guard.
I look forward to the day when one of them starts playing the fool and have to be punkslapped back to the stone age.

You are certainly not above being lectured.
No matter your own horn tooting resume'. Which, btw, is unseemly for a true soldier.
With your piss-poor attitude, I'd wonder why you'd be so against "civilians" owning so-called machine guns. Your authoritarian streak simmers not so far below the surface.
Perhaps, you'd be not so adverse to following orders and firing on civilians, should the crap hit the fan in some dire national emergency. It sure wouldn't do to have someone firing back with somewhat equal firepower.
In case you hadn't realized, the "people" are the militia in this country. You should try to remember that. If you have any problems with that, I'd suggest you have a chat with your CO and become educated on just what your true role is as a service-member. Failing that, I do hope you retire this year. I'm sure there's a position on some FBI or ATF special ops team where you can flaunt your supposed superiority to the unwashed masses.

Well said thumper. This self touted 'hero' is looking "-- forward to the day when one of them" -- [an unorganized militia of US Citizens] -- " starts playing the fool and have to be punkslapped back to the stone age. --"
What more can or need be said? -- The man is blatantly violating his own oath to support and defend our Constitution.
