Of course a leftist propaganda @$$ wipe would consider the problem to be civilians making it clear what’ll happen if they aren’t left alone and not a government growing far too big for said civilians to control.

[ The ex-hippies at Salon were real gung-ho for insurrection when it was their side doing the insurrecting. ]

They were all about civil disobedience during the bush years when it came to “ending the war”, they have been stragenly silent since mid janurary of 2009...

“What is the minimum threshold for government “tyranny” that justifies an armed response from the citizenry?”

The very first time that Obemba violated the Constitution Of The United States Of America, that’s when, dumb-ox Simpleton Maloy, but people are still asleep.

I love it when people discuss guns on this site :) Although it took me six months to figure out what 5.56mm was. I thought it was a religious reference lol

LMAO!!!! If “Salon” is blasting you, you’re on the right track. Apparently the Salonunists haven’t read the text of the 2nd Amendment.

Ted Cruz believes in our Constitution and talks about it, he believes in the right for a citizen to protect himself and his/her family; he puts respect back into the First Amendment, he believes in Religious freedom, Ted Cruz is an articulate, bright, and shows integrity....several others in the GOP line up for POTUS are excellent choices however, imho, not as forthright, direct in their rhetoric. I have enormous respect for Senator Graham but he is dead wrong here...and should move away from his RINO colleague, McCain, my Senator sad to say.

All need to address this (Officials in Mexico have conformed that there is an active Islamic terrorist training camp...) sponsored by ISIS right across the Texas border in the Mexican Anapra area west of Ciudad Juárez.

(Islamic State operating in Mexico just 8 miles from U.S. border: report)

(U.S. State Dept. says report on ISIS training camps in Mexico 'unfounded')..............I suppose they will trot Susan Rice out to make one of her puppet denials along with Kerry, of Vietnam fame.....

To: Ohioan It does make you wonder - are they really that stupid to not understand, or are they being deliberately obtuse?

It's a little game they play, pretending not to understand the meaning of the 2A, so that they make you say it. Then they sit back and proclaim how nuts you are for thinking that the government would ever take the people's guns. Even though the government wants to take the people's guns.

I think the whole “deconstructionist” view of the written word is intentional obtuseness as well,
with the sole object of advancing their power agenda.

But, I think they do truly believe that if enough power is concentrated in the right hands, they can achieve “the greater good”.

when does the shooting start? where is the line?

when the fedgov decides they can ruin you, take everything you’ve ever worked for, your home and your ability to provide for your family by taking your business... because you would NOT perform an action ... that’s about the time to reach for the musket. what other reaction would they expect?

involuntary servitude is protected against by the thirteenth amendment. enforce it with the second.

Simon Maloy spews forth at Salon, proving yet again that when Leftys try to think:

Simon Maloy shows why one should never try to have a logical discussion with a Liberal:

Agreed totally. In Canada, until 1979 (Firearms Acquisition Certificates were required from then on), anyone over age 16 could simply walk into a decent sporting goods store and buy themselves a decent hunting rifle or shotgun and ammunition and no questions were asked. Violent crime was virtually unheard of for many years until about the early to mid 1970s when it went on an upswing (like most other places in the Western world, but still lower than New York City or DC or Chicago). My great uncle who died in 1984 aged 93 kept his guns in full view in the old family farmhouse and as a kid visiting there, I was quite captivated by them and liked learning about them. No eyebrows were raised at all over this at the time.

I think about things like this whenever I hear shallow, sanctimonious talk about how Canada is distinct from the U.S. because gun ownership is not a right up here. What utter garbage. Particularly when you consider, as you say quite rightly, the “psychological benefit of having a responsible citizenry”.

This view of gun rights that casts personal firearm ownership as a check on the abuses of government doesn’t make a great deal of practical sense, and it betrays a lack of faith in our democratic institutions.

On the contrary, it makes every bit of practical sense or the proggies wouldn't be squealing about it. It happens to be very handy when this fictitious "faith in our democratic institutions" runs out. It's running a little thin at the moment.

It is more than a little amusing to see the progress of the meme of the moment through the lickspittle press like a pig through the body of a snake. The difficulty from Salon's side of the fence is that yes, their opponents really are (1) heavily armed, (2) nearly completely disenfranchised, (3) ridiculed throughout the media, and (4) thoroughly fed up. This isn't a silly phantom they've conjured up to frighten the lumpenproletariat. This one's real.

Liberals’ disdain for pro 2nd amendment people goes so far as to ridicule people with Alzheimer’s, as George Clooney did to Charlton Heston, who was 10 TIMES the man Clooney will ever be. I dislike him and his Israel hating wife very much.
