Guard Dog Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I really wonder if the powers that be in the US comprehend that we are on a road that will only lead us to shooting at each other again? Does that mean I need to get my Colt 1851 Navy Revolver back into working order? Your Colt AR-15 will serve you better. Unless Hillary tries to take it away from you.

Did you really watch what happened there Bruce? Hillary's people disqualified a majority of Sanders delegates and refused to say why. Then despite a vote in favor of a recount closed the convention and walked away but not before asking the sheriff deputies to put everyone out.

And surly because of the resources any internal battle against the Federal government would be suicidal? In 2015 there were 14,843,895 resident hunting licenses sold in the US. Many hunters will buy a out-of-state license to hunt in another state, but they will only buy one resident license. Bear in mind, this is just hunters. Forget for a moment sport shooters, and folks who keep them for home defense. That means 14,843,895 people who own at least one (probably more) rifle or shotgun and are proficient in their use. The entire armed strength of the US Military, FBI, CIA, Secret Service, and US Marshal Service is 2.75M. Assume 100% of them would be willing to take up arms against their fellow citizens (by NO means a certainty) and had to fight just the hunters. Even if just a third of the hunters only (discounting other gun owners) were willing to fight it would be the largest armed force in the history of the world. Now granted we are being hypothetical about something that while possible, is unlikely. And it would be impossible or organize all of that into a united fighting force but it would be stupid to give the US Military a stand up fight and there are many historical examples of partisan effectiveness. And it may be suicidal in the end. But as anyone who has served in the military will tell you there are many things more dear than your own life.

I didn't say it was true. I just said even if she said something true. If a judge in the US were to say a higher number of violent offenders are black than white it would be a true statement, But you can't just go say crap like that because it's prejudicial because of a racial qualification. And because it is being presented without context. Even if the judge meant well or only meant to be stating a statistical fact they are feeding a negative stereotype as well as justifying the racism of others. So in other words a jurist should have the good sense to STFU.
