    You mean like some on here who feel it's up to them to determine that a woman who finds herself pregnant should be forced to carry it cause you all know better than her what's good for her?

    I in no way indicated I want guns taken away. I said I do not understand why a civilian needs a gun that can shoot a whole lot of people in a short space of time. Why? What's your answer to that question?

    They don't think like liberals, rest assured. They took an oath to protect the constitution.



    Many consider it for life.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    It's mandatory- or you don't get paid.

    People join the army for a job and the money. Recruiting sergeants who holler ' patriotism ' don't last long.

    Where did you undertake your personal brainwashing ?

    because the government doesn't come at you one on one.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    to keep freedom, we must accept that bad people will do bad things. and if the gov is going to use bigger and better to oppress us, then we should have those same weapons.

    Under a system of ' government for the people by the people ' we are the government. Sure- nobody should have to suffer mindless oppression ( like the Palestinians do ) but good politicians with good policies prevent violence. That's why we have elections, isn't it- to get rid of any administration that starts to stink ?

    any elected official can turn on a dime and react badly on a moments notice. it's why we must always be prepared.

    Do I believe they would? Yes. Kent State comes to mind. Agent Orange. Waco. Ruby Ridge. Native Americans. Philadelphia neighborhood.

    then we absolutely need nukes, chem weapons, missiles, rockets, and grenades.

    Ah, we finally found an honest gun-hugger. So you'd like to see citizens own fully-operational tanks, missile launchers (and missiles to go with them), incapacitating gases of various types and strengths, bombers, armed helicopters, etc. etc.?

    Who gets to define "react badly"? How bad is bad? I think Trump is a clear and present danger to our country. Does that give me the right to go to DC and eliminate the perceived threat, according to your lights?
