A quick note to trolling gun nuts
To those of you threatening armed rebellion if a new assault rile ban is implemented, please note: The U.S. military will turn you into a stain on the pavement within the first half hour of your "civil war." We all know it.
So just STFU and start saying something productive.

I would absolutely put down armed insurrection by american citizens. ESPECIALLY if they were endangering any citizen who was not involved.
Maybe you missed this part, but we already fought a war about 'seceding', and the secessionists LOST. Maybe you missed the part where if you dont like the american government, you VOTE them out of office. and as noted by another response to you, I think you MISSED THE PART where you SWORE YOUR OATH. you should re-read it again. any one of these lunatics band together and try to take ANYTHING by armed force, if the police cant handle them, a platoon of my combat hardened veterans will make light work of it. I dont know what "military" you served in, but we serve the country, not violent seditionist gun nuts. |

But, nobody here ought to defending the gun nuts and their "revolution" fantasies.
The gun nuts at Tactical Response or in the militia movement have nothing at all in common with the Continental Army. They are not patriots. The U.S. revolution was organized by local civil authorities and was kept under civilian control the whole time. The militia movement has a lot more in common with the Mafia than with George Washington's crew. |

46. See 10 USC § 311 - Militia: composition and classes
|
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are— (1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/search/display.html?terms=militia&url=/uscode/html/uscode10/usc_sec_10_00000311----000-.html Depending on your state's own definition of militia, you could be part of its unorganized militia. One state includes both male and female 17 to 64. I've grown weary of telling so many DUers about militias. |
