The Second Amendment for Dummies.
- Thread starter Chobham
- Start date
Again, hearken back to Federalist 29 and the Constitution. The Founders never intended for there to be a perpetual standing Army. They saw that as a threat to the Republic. In Article One we read that the Army is to be funded for no more than 2 years. In #29 we read that the militia is intended to be an antidote to an Army used for nefarious purposes.
There was always a danger in instituting and 'all volunteer' standing Army. The political class could indoctrinate (as we are seeing today) said Army and turn it against the civilian population. The idea behind conscription (the draft) was that there would be an Army made up of citizen soldiers that would serve for a finite period of time and then return to their lives among the civilian population. I, for one, would not be against a return of the draft.

The federally underwritten college industrial complex would welcome the return of the draft too...
Those with money would pay to go to college and avoid the draft and those who couldn't afford to pay to dodge the draft would be given government money to dodge the draft and colleges would just keep producing dumb and dumber graduates to keep the cash coming in to fund their general anti-American "education."
The 4 Cs raise their ugly head again.

I downloaded it so that I could set the print to any size that I like.
I also have a soft-cover hard copy of it.
That seems a little yin-yang.

The extreme abort rights advocates are OK with killing babies just don’t use a gun!

Abortion doesn't kill babies. That might help you not look so fucking ridiculous. You're welcome!

It's not possible given the way the Constitution is written, but I've always believed that military service should be a prerequisite for the ability to vote. No military service = no vote.
It would end a lot of the Lefty bullshit almost instantly. As for LBGT's, let them serve too. However, no changes to uniform dress allowed, biological sex = uniform dress code requirements. Same deal with religious types - religion doesn't trump uniform or grooming standards.

I'm not scared of firearms.
I'm scared of the irresponsible jackasses who are only vaguely aware of which end the 'bang!' comes out of.

You don’t exactly explain yourself well here. Education for????

(Quoted for posterity and stupidity)
The Court has ALREADY been packed by "republicans" in the most blatantly corrupt manner possible.
That ^ hasn’t been forgotten, and NEVER WILL be forgotten.
Hope that ^ helps.

You know, trying to educate where the bang end is. The lapses in logic of most MAGA voters is always epic, of course they wouldn’t be sure where the bang end is.

You people act like there is no Venn intersection other than that of a gun owner and a Trump supporter.
A lot of black Democrats are gun owners too. Add Native Americans to that list.
Now, I wonder, why the fuck is that? Those nine little words of fear?
Oh yeah, I have Nines too...

Big city women are beginning to pack too.
I think there might be an interesting Venn diagram between that and the anti-gun people who also want to defund the police.

I think you'll find more than a casual relationship there.
