yeah, yeah.... blah-blah.... "he's a former marine, so he MUST be right"....... I personally know probably 8 or 9 former marines that have beliefs that are diametrically opposed to this guy's. Everyone has an opinion. What makes his opinion any more interesting than my friend, Brad's? Being in the military does not automatically make you an authority on the subject. If it does, I'm going with the several that I personally know that disagree with this guy....

I don't know what their opinions are, but you're the only person outside my immediate family whom I have ever heard used the word diametrically, so I have to give you three points for that alone.

The link is to a single post ;)
Sorry. I should have used more words in my previous post.

There's no way I could have known about that NBW post beforehand, as keeping up with that thread was a full time job. Even if I had read all the posts, there are so many that I would never have remembered yours. I would not even remember any of mine in such a torrent of posts.

But yes, you also get three points.

The Bill of Rights (the first ten Ammendments) in the constitution are all about limiting the Goverments control over the people.

It doesn't give citizens rights...it limits the Government 's rights to remove citizens rights. The rights we have as people come from our Creator not the Government. That's the major theme of the Constitution as written by the framers. (Founding Fathers)

Anything else is something else.

Limit access of AR’s sounds great but I wonder if the lawless will follow the law? I personally do not have a weapon like that that fires 30 rounds and can be easily reloaded. Also can easily fixed to make fully automatic as long as they know what they are doing.
Giggle I am thinking why there are restrictions on other military equipment like rocket launchers and bazookas and tanks have big guns on them.
The sad thing is that law abiding citizens will have trouble getting the ARs and the criminals will still be able to get these types of weapons.

A rare commodity these days.........

you know the hard lockdown that austraila had? ( that you wrongly supported)?

why did we not have that non-sense here in the u.s.?

because you can only push a armed population so far.

so, no, we will not be doing hard gun control .

Sorry, but I think that's a nonsensical argument. It sounds like you are advocating it's ok to hold governmental authorises to ransom with a threat of armed rebellion if they don't follow your pattern of what should be happening. That's anarchy or Mob rule, something more attributed to the wild west before law and order were established.

I didn't agree with every decision my governments have made about covid, or a lot of other decisions they make for that matter. But they are elected officials. Unless they require me to do something which is immoral or threatens my faithfulness towards Jesus, then God obliges me to adhere to their directives irrespective of whether I agree with them or not.
