I think I smell an April Fools’ joke.
April fool?
You really have to ask?
The last paragraph of the article:
Those who have read this far will recognize that the first day of April is reserved for the application of stories designed to enlighten people otherwise deficient in wisdom.
So this is an April Fools joke. And since there’s no humor here, it’s a poor joke, in my opinion.
President Trump clearly has the power to do this, if he so wishes.
The humor is in the left’s reaction...
It MAY indeed endanger (certain individuals) in minority communities, but ONLY if they choose to commit crimes while in the proximity of someone who is carrying, Maxine.
I have read it applied to white males between 18 and 45. They missed a good opportunity.
I’m trying to figure out how to make sure that I can get My Kentucky Long Rifle
In the Jeep!
These late April Fools day pranks should be short-lived and used only once. And that one was already done early this morning.
I have read it applied to white males between 18 and 45. They missed a good opportunity.
No.
“all able-bodied male citizens of the United States and all other able-bodied males who have . . . declared their intention to become citizens of the United States,” between the ages of eighteen and forty-five.
Missed it.
Was it posted on FR?
Not this same one, but another. It was very early. Once the realization of the date burns in further pranks really aren’t going to have any impact, except maybe with some really stupid liberals. :0)
I should have posted it at midnight.
I know this an April Fools joke, but why should the Militia be limited to adults under 45.
During the Revolution there was a 69 yo farmer who shot and killed a Red Coat. The British shot him then bayoneted him more than 20 times to ensure his death. Somehow he woke up the following day, crawled to his home a few hundred yards away and received care.
He didn’t die until 30 years later at age 99.
I would consider him a member of the militia.
Probably. But take heart. Maybe you gave some stupid liberal who just wore up a bad case of apoplexty. :0)
Do you know his name? I’d like to file that bit away. Thanks
why should the Militia be limited to adults under 45.
I did not write the law, but I know that officers are subject to call up at all ages.
Clearly, improved medical care indicates the age limit should be moved up to 95.
