“Washington, DC is not a state, nor does it have a “state” militia. Yet its residents cannot be totally disarmed by the federal government, no more than a state government can totally disarm it’s citizens — this would leave the country with no organized protection other than federal troops, something the Founders feared.”
You may believe that. I’m fairly certain that at the time, after the blood sweat and tears shed by the Founders and their families their primary fear was something else entirely. They knew their human frailties and the new government may not turn out to be perfect. The deep fear of our Founders was that an appropriate uprising to form a new government if necessary could never happen if said government disarmed its sheeple. The liberties held sacred by our Founders will only remain liberties if the sheeple can AT ANY Time restore commonsense order by appropriate uprising. Uprising without guns is like taking a knife to a gun fight....
I am begging you please to ignore robertpaulsen.
He is a troll who’s only goal is to disrupt all RKBA posts by hijacking them.
His method, which has worked brilliantly so far, is to make outrageous claims and bait you into wasting your energy trying to convince him and educate him. Which is not possible, since it is not his goal.
His goal is to hijack the threads. He does so successfully anytime people respond to him.
I personally know how hard it is to let such ignorance just go without succumbing to the temptation to educate. But trust me, you only play into his hands when you fall for this temptation.
The only way to prevent him from consistently hijacking these threads is to completely ignore him and to not respond to any of his posts, no matter how outrageous or how badly he gets your goat.
I’m begging you to please ignore him in the future, for the sake of reasonable discussions on these RKBA posts. Thank you.
