"Precious" is an absurd word to apply to any object, not that anyone is or has been objecting to property rights. The use of that word shows what your priorities are.If you use your right to vote, to object to my right to bare arms.......it's idiotic to claim that you do not object to my rights. Like I -already- said...that you object to my rights is okay..I just want you to own it. If the US votes (and even if it doesn;t) and my rights are infringed upon or eliminated..so be it, thems the breaks. I'll be disappointed...and you won't get any sympathy from me when some right important to you is threatened, that's all. Which is going to be tough for me...because I'll still feel compelled to be your bulldog.
Sorry it doesn't work like that. WE VOTE and since voting applies to all parties and since there is no political party oath to either the First Amendment, or the Second Amendment, we don't simply do what one party wants 100% of the time. If you are going to claim that I object to your rights what you are objecting to is my right to vote.
Quote:You cant have it both ways, if you are going to childishly claim I am objecting to your rights, then I can accuse you of the same.No, actually, you can't..because I made it clear in my post that you were entitled to your position..I just want you to own it.
Quote:Now do you want a Constitutional Republic that allows for voting, or you simply going to shoot anyone who manages to change laws to things you disagree with? What is the point in having voting at all if I have to fear you shooting me to protect an object. You value an object over a living human being?I take my firing orders -from you-. Once upon a time, I made a vow to defend this nation and it's constitution (enemies foreign and domestic). It's ludicrous to fly off on some tangent wondering whether I would go on a shooting spree because of a vote. It's the very antithesis of who I am and who I've proven myself to be. You bitch and moan...I've bled. Try and remember that when you ask me what I'd do for my country.
Quote:If you are going to go that rout remember Washington used armed militias to go after armed mobs. See the article in the prior post.We're in danger of becoming a fascist state when you can't own your own position, or when you see one of your staunchest defenders as a threat for the simple act of disagreeing with you. Brian......please, don't tell us that you're for gun ownership....your -many- posts on the subject argue to the contrary.
I am for gun ownership so get over that part. I am only against the paranoia and worship and childish fear mongering. We are not in danger of becoming a fascist state because some see a problem with the status quo.
@ Aegon. Not only were they better armed for the battlefield they chose, they had competent leadership. Custer could have crushed them had he leveraged his full force (and full armament), but his pride led him to showboat and he died for it. Served him right.....but it was a disgrace to his men. An altogether too common narrative.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
