Dreyfus = Putz or Fool. Both are accurate descriptions.

All you have to do is get 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the States to go along. Easy as pie.

Nowadays you just need an edict from the Lenin wannabee in the White House, and the acquiescence of the neutered Congress.
The United States, unfortunately, seems to be on her last legs. No longer the Constitutional Republic that she once was.

The facts aren’t in, but to me it looks like the Waco event included some small “gang” component and a larger “club” component, and that the former provided an excuse for LE to ambush the rest, probably out of fear, but maybe out of some political motive. Are we on the same page?

But, what I don’t know is that if the clubs are just weekend riders, do they have the grit and the cohesion to function as foci for militia in the good sense as you and I probably understand it? That’s what I don’t know. Organization, dedication, numbers—that’s what is important.

He’s probably worth up to $200 million. Maybe more. And he’s not related to the Dreyfuss fortune (Julia-Louis is not a relative of Richard’s). He’s also something of a jerk and bipolar too. Maybe he’ll change his mind tomorrow...

First, we’ll re-write the 1st Amendment so Liberals are excluded.

How about we rewrite second amendment so it applies only to private citizens. No commercial armed private security allowed.

He doesn’t get it....The people were/are the militia.

Absolutely. All Mr. Dreyfuss is doing is putting his abject ignorance on display.

Hey, D.B., the people ARE the militia. Just like a totalitarian, you always talk out of your nether regions.

FURD!

I believe in the concept in my tagline.

How about we re-write the first amendment to make it clear it does not apply to TV and Movies?

Here’s the more verbose version the Founding a fathers wrote before trimming the obvious & redundant bits:

“A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, being the best security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; but no person religiously scrupulous shall be compelled to bear arms.”

If RKBA somehow needs clarification, there it is.

Bring it, Rich Dufus. And when you progs ‘outlaw’ the individual right to keep and bear arms, I and MILLIONS of others will still be armed. What will you do then, Dufus? You will have to murder us to take them. You see, we still get to vote, 125 or 250 grains at a time.
