    Art. 1, Sec 10. Clause 3...
    No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops" SY #180
    That's splendid.

    But the assertion was:
    " the constitution specifically forbidding the states to keep troops." SY #168
    Which then is false.

    For your quotation indicates not that our Constitution "specifically forbidding",
    but instead merely requires congressional consent.

    Ordinarily I wouldn't say so, but you seem to need to be told:
    When statements are made under pseud, the credibility of the pseud is enhanced when the claim is true, and undermined when it is not.

    The credibility you have undermined here is your own.

    well you're completely full of horseshit. what I said was completely correct, that the constitution prohibits the states from keeping their own troops. your caveat of 'congressional consent' provides an exception to the prohibition and that is all. don't be mad that I pointed out something you didn't know. just accept the info I gave you and be appreciative.
    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.

    probably a typo on your part, but its 1986, not 1968.

My choice of weapons is predicated upon two things......what am I good with and what does the job I need it for. The job I need it for is killing and that means good rounds, fast action, and decent usability. The AR15 fits that purpose for me.
    Yep, I reversed the dates. My bad.

    So you've just admitted that the ONLY reason why you like the AR-15 is because it is a more efficient killing machine of people.....that is why it's original design was designated as an ASSAULT RIFLE....that is why it is classified as an ASSAULT WEAPON....which is why it and similar weapons have been the choice of mass shooters....like you, they felt it's the best weapon for the job. Finally, an honest answer.

    So all you're doing is "prepping" for that civil war/conflict....I've been reading about folk like you in their various forms and titles since the 1980's. Lot of those folks are now in their 60's and 70's. What a sad waste of life and resources, instead of contributing to solving the problems.

    Now, why do YOU need an AR-15? The operative word is "need".

    You're so full of it.

    when you have no argument, resort to hyperbole. I have seen it many times. i'd explain to you how i'm able to do what I do, but you'd not believe me because intellectually inferior people can't seem to comprehend that there are people out there with job skills that are so needed, that companies will pay them to work from home.....which is what I do. and paying fees? i'm paying a corporation to provide me internet access. Now personally I have issues with how the regulations keep it limited to a few corporations, but I do have to work within the system at times. I just keep it to a minimum.
    translation: junior here shovels more BS....vague claims that a his internet is a free ride via a "corporation". Hmmm, poor folk can get that via the federal gov't if they qualify. But our anti-gov't oather/threeper, etc., etc. doesn't mind working for and sucking off the teat of a corporation that he alleges to hate when it suits him.

    Can you say BS hypocrite boys and girls?

    Keep it coming, toodles.....you so mired in your on BS it's laughable.

    By what right do people own guns? Because they "do," is pretty weak. Meanwhile, we have the 2nd Amendment and its authors contradicting you.

    You can't repeal the 2nd, so you will do everything you can to undermine it, because you love hunting defenseless animals, and hate America.

    the national guard evolved out of the dick act and has nothing to do with the 'well regulated' militia because it isn't the militia. the militia is 'we the people, except a few public officials'. so maybe you need to stop ignoring what you don't like about the constitutional debates and commentaries.
    Take off the blinders, son....know ALL your history:

    Wrong as usual. You can repeat yourself ad nausea...doesn't change the history of this weapon...and folk like you got their wish and put this back on the market...the retailers advertised it's efficiency, and people bought it on that salesmanship...as did the perpetrators of recent mass shootings. Deal with it.

    I'll tell you why I have military issued rifles. I bought them from the Army to use in service rifle competitions. I recently acquired an M1-A too, just as an investment and for target shooting.
    I also have numerous hunting rifles, shotguns and handguns as well, each in different calibers for specific hunting and shooting uses.
    Although I could obtain the proper permits to own a "machine gun," I have no interest in owning one.
