- gaius 13y agoThat is precisely what the Founding Fathers intended to happen in this situation. Calling the militia!
- horseapples 13y agoThis is exactly why that amendment exists. Instead, the vast majority of the individuals with the guns are far more upset that about protecting bigotry than protecting their rights. And the liberals on the side of rights, are generally less inclined to actually use guns.
- DennisP 13y agoI know a lot of those individuals with guns, and would say that's more a media caricature than reality.
- InclinedPlane 13y agoIt boggles my mind how quickly people who know absolutely nothing about guns and have almost no knowledge of the lives of gun owners are nevertheless so extremely willing to put forward ideas about such based on nothing but prejudice and ignorance.
- iterationx 13y agoLiberals are always on the side of increasing state power. eg. State run health care, mandatory state run schools (ban homeschooling), outlaw guns (increase state monopoly of force), mandatory vaccines (state dictates control over your health). Your positions are false and absurd.
- AnthonyMouse 13y agoIronically, if citizens actually did that then the government officials would classify it as terrorism and use it as an excuse to crack down and demand new powers. And politicians need to learn not to be so pusillanimous. What do you think would happen if a politician came to the media and revealed that some spook had tried to blackmail him for proposing an anti-surveillance bill? It would cause the bill to pass and the politician to be reelected. It would be like surviving an assassination attempt -- and if you could prove it you would become practically beyond reproach, because anything anyone ever said bad about you again could be attributed to the blackmailers.
- teamonkey 13y ago> would classify it as terrorism It is terrorism. By definition: the use of violence and/or intimidation for political goals. Perhaps you could argue that terrorism is a constitutional right?
- platz 13y agoThere are at least 11 definitions of terrorism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definition_of_terrorisma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definition_of_terrorisma
- AnthonyMouse 13y ago> It is terrorism. By definition: the use of violence and/or intimidation for political goals. That's what I'm saying. They've defined terrorism to be "political violence" and declared it to be unmitigated evil -- it's sleight of hand. Is a riot terrorism now? Is a revolution? Were the US soldiers who killed Nazis in WWII "terrorists"? It's propaganda. They're hypocritically condemning political violence while engaging in it. They're equating violence by foreign radicals against a country's people with violence by a country's people against its own corrupt government. It's putting George Washington, Malcolm X and Osama bin Laden into the same category for the purposes of collective condemnation. The only way it makes for a useful method of categorization is if you're already in power and want to disenfranchise anyone without the political power within the existing system to make change, regardless of the legitimacy of their position.
