Only in your dreams are liberals terrified of the second amendment. They honestly believe gun controls work to reduce crime even though there is massive evidence showing the contrary. No one in his right mind would fear anything called a "militia" today. It would be like a combination of the Keystone Cops and a Chinese firedrill and would be brushed aside by any capable military force. It could cause some confusion and disruption through guerilla activity but that is it.

As you indicated earlier the point of the militia and the 2d amendment was to protect the State from its enemies. Islamaniacs are that enemy. It is not just some arbitrary protection of rights but to protect a Free state otherwise the militia would not have even been mentioned.

Oh, I feel real comfrontable at the idea that a ragtag bunch of "militia" with no training and no advanced weaponry could defeat a modern army. Few things are more laughable. Ask the Taliban militia how well it fared against the US military.

Since your homepage does not indicate any military experience, please state your expertise for stating that I and other ex-miltary Freepers have had no "training."

Please include the National Guard, which is the "organized" militia and the "unorganized" militia, as defined by federal law.

Instead of focusing on making sure the law sunsets you are denegrating the 2nd Amend. of the Bill o0f Rights and advancing it's renewal. All I can say to your display of jovial confidence is, "fine, bring it on!" It won't be your mama announcing come and get it.

Yes indeed. I can just imagine C-130's circling around urban areas in the U.S. taking shots at suspected "militia nuts" as they step out of their homes and businesses and B-150's dropping daisy cutters on their foothills hideaways near Denver, Tucson, Reno, Seattle, etc., etc., etc. The general public will simply rejoice when they see the Strykers and Apaches coming into the 'hood to root out those nasty right-wing kooks who always hang a deer carcass in the garage each fall.

Really? They are afraid of it. It is what keeps them from assuming total socialist control. Think about it, if they could get rid of all guns they can do what ever they want. What could we do? Vote them out? They will just fill the hole with someone else. You say that we just vote for GOP? Sorry, they have their libs. Look to the past for the answers; Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, China, etc. The disarmed citizen is a slave to the government and has no power.

"Oh, I feel real comfrontable at the idea that a ragtag bunch of "militia" with no training and no advanced weaponry could defeat a modern army."

Oh, like the advanced weaponry we had compared to Vietnam? Remember how that turned out?

"Ask the Taliban militia how well it fared against the US military."

See that is were you are off base; first, I would be willing to bet that a large majority of our military would refuse to fight our own people. Second, I bet that there would be a bunch of military people that would side with the people if the situation warranted our uprising.
