Libtards say that the Militia the 2nd Amend. refers to is the National Guard...

Seems like I have read that during pre-revolution colonial times there was an effort to ban the Brown Bess because it lacked the accuracy of a decent hunting arm, but could be quickly (for the time) reloaded.  As a result it was considered to be a purely military arm for which "civilians" had no use.

That's fine, I guess, for people who don't have a problem being called 'subjects' and for a gov that doesn't want resistance.

Rich;

EXACTLY! This is where it is REALLY headed but the people who vote Democrat can't see that.  They think they are making "a better world" - WOW!

And to think, I used to have ocean-front property in Missouri I could have sold to these Nimrods.

Take a look at the LEGAL definition of the word "Citizen" and be prepared for shock.  The brain washing has been going on for a while now.

And who was trying to do that? England?

I can't find the reference online, but no, it wasn't our then rulers in england, but once again those who wanted to protect the children.

It seems in any epic there are those who just don't get that violence is the result of decisions, and not the presence of weapons.

Karl Rove states in the Daily Caller "Time To Repel The 2nd Amendment" www.thedailycaller.com

Folks, these RINOs as I said before are in tandem with the other side as there is no 2 sides. This along with the TPP (ObamaTrade) NAFTA on steroids, it is supported by vast majority of RINOs. They capitulate to the King and will fold on gun rights eventually.

Rove is a clown.  The leftist press plays him and some country club RINO types listen to him. He is wrong. I  don't think this is something he actually wants, but he is still wrong.

The RINOS aka Establishment Republicans own the Tea Party and Conservatives. Thats the bottom line.

[pacapcop]

No doubt.

Own? Please explain in detail.

[Wolfie]

Simple, the Establishments gets the Tea Party and Conservatives to get them back in power. While in power they increase the debt and fund the ACA.

The TP and Conservatives put Speaker Boehner and Senator McConnell the same EXACT guys that let Bush run wild back in power.

They own them.

Don't worry they will do well in 2018 after Hillary takes 2016

[Pablo]

That doesn't even make any sense.

House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) has removed Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) from his post as a subcommittee chairman, according to a Chaffetz spokesperson.

The removal comes after Meadows bucked House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) in opposing a vote that would give President Obama expanded powers to "fast track" his trade agenda.

Boehner meted out less serious discipline to several other members, as well.

Meadows represents Western North Carolina. It's basically Heath Shuler's old territory. He's a big Tea Party guy whose greatest legislative contribution so far has been to pass a bill related to Hizbollah. I can pretty much guarantee that Rep. Meadows doesn't know how Hizbollah did in the latest Lebanese elections. Someone told him they were a terrorist organization and he probably pictures them as hiding out in caves in Afghanistan or something. You see, Rep. Meadows is a moron.

He didn't want to give us any federal aid to assist us after Superstorm Sandy hit the Mid-Atlantic. Do you know that hurricanes often land in North Carolina?

He supports a Balanced Budget Amendment, which is the stupidest, most irresponsible idea to be introduced by the leadership of a party in the history of the country.

He wants a balanced budget, mind you, after we repeal the Estate Tax, the capital gains tax, and enact a flat income tax that will eliminate most revenue from that source.

He not only opposes reproductive rights, he opposes churches giving their parishioners information about birth control.

He was also a leader of a rump group of lunatics who demanded that Speaker Boehner default on our debts and destroy our country's credit rating to avoid funding Obamacare.

[pacapcop]

Well described.

Well, as Constitutional Congress delegate from Pennsylvania,  Tench Coxe put it.

Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress has no power to disarm the militia. Their swords and every terrible implement of the soldier are the birthright of Americans. The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments but where, I trust in God, it will always remain, in the hands of the people.
