Why? When or why do you conceal carry and why do you own a semi-automatic rifle?Evel K said:
No to daily carry but yes to semi-auto.Halifax2TheMax said:
Do you though?Evel K said:
How so? I can carry concealed in my state. I can own a semi-automatic rifle. I don't have a criminal record. What am I doing that ignores the regulations?Gern Blansten said:
Yeah you ignore the well regulated part...Evel K said:
You're almost there. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. We can't just pick two words and say that supports our view. Let's examine being necessary to the security of a free state as it pertains to the original question.Gern Blansten said:
Well regulated...Evel K said:
This question, in itself acknowledges another issue that we can't seem to find any common ground on.brianlux said:In her letter yesterday, Heather Cox Richardson wrote:"Gaetz’s withdrawal turns attention to Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth.... Jonathan Chait of The Atlantic did a deep dive into Hegseth’s recent books and concluded that Hegseth “considers himself to be at war with basically everybody to Trump’s left, and it is by no means clear that he means war metaphorically.” Hegseth’s books suggest he thinks that everything that does not support the MAGA worldview is “Marxist,” including voters choosing Democrats at the voting booth. He calls for the “categorical defeat of the Left” and says that without its “utter annihilation,” “America cannot, and will not, survive.”So my question for our MAGA member here is this: Are you OK with the idea of having the U.S. military to literally (not metaphorically) come gunning for those who did not vote for Trump?

I live in a small city. It's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. As a friend told me quite recently you use your small gun to get to your big gun. My main reason for owning guns is to protect my family.Halifax2TheMax said:

I don't have much to add here but I have to say, man, rather than the subject at hand, there are one or two people who are getting waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much attention here, . If that's you, it's not all about you, ya know?

Storming the capitol to prevent a peaceful transfer of power = appropriate behaviorThis clarification has been helpful for many of us on planet Earth.Do you think the events around 1/6 (Trump’s
scheme to undermine the election, etc) and other conscious attempts by him to undermine trust in democratic systems and institutions will have a long lasting effect, or do you think it returns to pre-Trump levels after he’s gone?0 -
How did she happen to be black?brianlux said:Here's little funny one for ya all:Back in the 80s, I worked with a woman (who happened to be black). We were talking about a mutual friend. She said she thought this friend smoked to much weed. I knew she also liked to imbibe in a little of the green herself, so I replied, "Isn't that a bit like the black calling the kettle pot?" She just totally cracked up when I said that. Still puts a big old smile on my face,Alright, I'm outta here. Got some sun breaks to get out and enjoy before tomorrow's next storm rolls in. Y'all be kind (-Illona Anne Cogswater)0 -
The state being free to maintain its militia. Several southern founders wanted militias to be maintained in order to continue to use them to squash out slave rebellions, so Madison put tye 2A in there as a compromise to get them on board.Evel K said:

Is the big gun the appropriate defensive firearm inside your house? Would a shotgun be better or more appropriate? And if you need a handgun to get to your big gun, seems you’ve got a major issue happening, yes/no?Evel K said:

The original well regulated meant that you participate in training once or twice a year and that you’re prepared to fight in a war when called in by your militia leader. Is this happening?Evel K said:

Man, some weird shit on here the last two days. Some have gone a bit crazy in their quest to villify anyone who doesn't have the exact same thought process. I think there have been at least 4 people in the last few weeks who have wrongly assumed someone is a Trump supporter just because their rhetoric didn't meet their expectations. It's embarrassing as liberal to read some of the responses. Ask a question, read the answer and provide a follow-up if you want further discussion. Or, ignore the poster if you think they're full of shit. I'm starting to see why radical left is being thrown around so much.It's a hopeless situation...0

I do not think it will, but then again I do not have a crystal ball, GoBeavers.
The operative word in your salad is "attempts". Our democracy is just fine, and always will be. Is that ok for me to say here? Please advise, I wouldn't want to offend anyone. I was berated by a Canadian dude earlier because I don't believe Donald Trump will end the free world. This guy was on tilt.

If you’re here for genuine back and forth, why would I need to be provoked? I don’t remember you from earlier but I thought I’d throw out a question to see what you think. If you want to be chippy, them direct it at certain people.battle1 said:

Lol. Weren’t you just saying something about people making assumptions about you? People were assuming you were a trumper, and by the time I came around you clarified you weren’t. So I just thought I’d ask a question about a significant event from his presidency and how it represents something larger. Oh well. I tried.battle1 said:
You didn't want a genuine back and forth, you chimed in with a question you thought you knew the answer to, but didn't.Go Beavers said:
If you’re here for genuine back and forth, why would I need to be provoked? I don’t remember you from earlier but I thought I’d throw out a question to see what you think. If you want to be chippy, them direct it at certain people.battle1 said:
Only today you decided to chime in unprovoked along with the rest, got it.Go Beavers said:

Have a day.
Storming the capitol to prevent a peaceful transfer of power = appropriate behaviorThis clarification has been helpful for many of us on planet Earth.Do you think the events around 1/6 (Trump’s
scheme to undermine the election, etc) and other conscious attempts by him to undermine trust in democratic systems and institutions will have a long lasting effect, or do you think it returns to pre-Trump levels after he’s gone?
I do not think it will, but then again I do not have a crystal ball, GoBeavers.
The operative word in your salad is "attempts". Our democracy is just fine, and always will be. Is that ok for me to say here? Please advise, I wouldn't want to offend anyone. I was berated by a Canadian dude earlier because I don't believe Donald Trump will end the free world. This guy was on tilt.Our democracy isn’t just fine. It’s been weakened and this is measurable by the decline in trust Americans have in the institutions needed for a functioning democracy.
Well then you stay very afraid, GoBeavers.0 -

I'm from South Philadelphia. Living in Chicago. Moving to Boston burbs in a week. Shitty guess, Mad Max.
Are you hot yet? I don't know what that means, but I can say you are bizarre. If that helps?Post edited by battle1 on0
