his point also negates another point of Thom's, which is that everybody's guns should be locked up in the town arsenal where the rabble can't get to them

As I understand the 1792 Militia acts, you had to buy your own gun, ammo, and equipment. Why would you be expected to store your personal property in a central armory?

Very interesting. Ilsa Aug 2012 #1

One thing I disagree with Thom on gejohnston Aug 2012 #2

Let's look at that article... Glaug-Eldare Aug 2012 #3

which begs the question gejohnston Aug 2012 #43

Excellent article. Why is it people like Thom get it, yet these guys don't? Hoyt Aug 2012 #4

Wait you are confusing Missycim Aug 2012 #5

You mean the Continental Army wasn't authorized by King George III? Glaug-Eldare Aug 2012 #6

A bunch of guys dressed in BDU's calmeco702 Aug 2012 #7

Not a "bunch of guys" just playing with their guns -- they are a bunch of racist assholes playing Hoyt Aug 2012 #9

Any evidence that they're "racist assholes" Glaug-Eldare Aug 2012 #10

Plenty of evidence. Again, why are you guys so supportive of groups like this? Hoyt Aug 2012 #12

Right, hoyt. Because it's plainly obvious that any white guys out in the woods are HALO141 Aug 2012 #15

Present such evidence 4th law of robotics Aug 2012 #18

Like that's ever going to happen. HALO141 Aug 2012 #19

Oh it won't I know 4th law of robotics Aug 2012 #26

Evidence that exists solely in your mind doesn't count, Hoyt. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2012 #21

You need to get off those right wing gun sites, and pay attention to what is going on. Hoyt Aug 2012 #25

You and your conspiracy paranoia. HALO141 Aug 2012 #29

I think your buddy is gone. Hoyt Aug 2012 #24

How is it MrDiaz Aug 2012 #27

Hey, there are several gun carriers here who cite "thugs" as the reason they carry. Hoyt Aug 2012 #28

ok so MrDiaz Aug 2012 #30

No, those who think racist militias, the Border Klan, assault weapons, etc., are all good, Hoyt Aug 2012 #32

so all militias MrDiaz Aug 2012 #35

"You can call them what you want. I know what they are. " HALO141 Aug 2012 #31

From the bigots I grew up with -- many of whom are probably in "militia" groups Hoyt Aug 2012 #33

That explains a lot, actually. HALO141 Aug 2012 #41

Explain what? calmeco702 Aug 2012 #11

Lots of things are legal, but immoral and just plain wrong. Hopefully DU will be good for you. Hoyt Aug 2012 #14

What's immoral or just plain wrong with that picture that you posted? calmeco702 Aug 2012 #16

I agree wholeheartedly 4th law of robotics Aug 2012 #20

Funny how you guys always agree with those about to booted. Hoyt Aug 2012 #34

Although i wanted to not respond anywhere to Thom's OP,.... chknltl Aug 2012 #23

The founders weren't concerned that the US would be taken out in a coup by the military 4th law of robotics Aug 2012 #17

This argument has one serious flaw. Atypical Liberal Aug 2012 #40
