ORIGINAL: BamaD You've met Dick Cheney, so that would give you insight if I was claiming he was a great source. He's not a great source at anything useful except as an example of the sort of person to....NEVER....allow in government. quote:
ORIGINAL: BamaD I have met Morris Dees so that gives me some insight on him. I have also met his brother who has the same opinion of him that I do. I know several people who know him personally and except for the leftist he is conning they all say he is a hypocrite. Ok, I'll bite. Why, do you consider him both a hypocrite and "...leffist he is conning..."? quote:
ORIGINAL: BamaD I am infuriated by people who commit violent crimes. We both agree here.... quote:
ORIGINAL: BamaD But unlike you I don't try to make political hay out of everything. It is not they who undermine my rights it is people like you who ignore a dozen armed citizens stopping something like this to pretend that one of these incidents is all that matters. You make political hay on it, just like everyone else. Take for example this very post to which I'm replying to; its making political hay of a subject. When was the last time you saw a dozen non-law enforcement, non-active duty military people, stopping a sovereign citizen (or a pair) from intimidating and/or attacking US Citizens inside the United States? Go ahead, find me those examples. They don't exist on record. The reason is very simple: those people could...ALSO...be placed under arrest for willfully engaging in a law enforcement matter (or dare I say, behaving like they are the 'Law of the Land'). Ever noticed I separate 'gun nut' from 'gun owner'? The same as I separate 'concern citizen' from 'gun controller'? Were as you just lump things together like a football game? Its because 'gun nuts' are very different from 'gun owners'. But the perception of 'gun controllers' is to make 'concern citizens' think 'gun owners' are one and the same with 'gun nuts' (and this is done vise versa). To which 'concern citizens' start thinking 'gun owners' whom are usually intelligent, reasonable, honest, likable, and friendly; become 'gun nuts' whom are just lunatic and dangerous (this too, is done vise versa). If 'concern citizens' and 'gun owners' were ever to get together, discuss things, and agree on things; we'd have better gun control laws that actually work in our favor, rather than against. Because the underlying understanding is the trust and faith both groups of US Citizens have in the other. When you trust someone, and that trust is returned in good faith, good laws often get developed. The sovereign citizen represents the 'gun nuts' (but is not nearly the whole of them). Their actions and words, undermine 'gun owners' in a bigger sense than what 'gun controllers' are doing at legal levels right now. Because when the public see's some guy with an assault rifle put a dozen holes in a uniformed police officer; does make it hard to argue we should allow 'anyone' with a firearm, for any reason, without regulation or observation. As the public, see's you, a 'gun owner' like that criminal. Your guilt by association. The reason is the public is not aware your against violent crime the same as them; and want that guy who killed the officer either dead or in jail. Hence why I say I'm surprised your not aware of this group of people and how they behave. When they kill a police ifficer, you get 'blamed'. Ironically you share something in common with followers of Islam whom are US Citizens: you both get blamed by association, even though your both against the violence! When we don't stand as one nation, we are easily divided. quote:
ORIGINAL: BamaD And yes IT IS A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT a fact which you have admitted was the intent of the writers but that your great wisdom overrides that. The writers intended for an individual to pose a weapon that could fire 30 musket rounds in 4-6 seconds, reload with a full 30 musket rounds in 4-6 seconds, accurate to about 300+ yards, and penetrate fairly deeply into the human body if not 'blow through' it? Yeah, go find me that document from any of the founding fathers.... You do understand...WHY....the US Military does not walk to battle in a long line, stand a mere 20-40 yards from their opponents (whom have done the same thing) with weapons like that, right? Did the founding fathers (including that military general George Washington) write the book on modern warfare and how its conducted with said weaponry? Go ahead, produce this level of bullshit as well.... The US Constitution is not something that is written in stone. That is why we have amendments in law. It changes how a law is understood. If the US Constitution was written in stone, that would mean Prohibition would....STILL....be active, since it could neither be modified nor removed. I think history shows that amendment being null and void by another amendment.... I disagree with the Supreme Court's decision on the Heller vs D.C. case. They (the five conservative justices) ruled on political grounds....NOT....constitutional grounds. And I have stated the reasons why in previous threads. You are aware (or at least aware at the time), since you made replies to them. Or are we not allowed to peacefully assemble and/or sue the government over grievances? I never admit the founding fathers understood nor agree'd with the NRA's or the Firearm Industry's viewpoint (which are one and the same) on the 2nd amendment. Your putting words into my mouth, as the saying goes. Find me the documents that show the founding fathers are 'OK' with a mentally/emotionally unstable individual to have a firearm. I know you cant find this, since that understanding of the human mind would not exist for another 190+ years. Nor the founding fathers wanting to be shot to death by the very legal and philosophical outlooks they had by individuals that disagreed with them. How many sovereign citizens would attack the President if they could get away with it? Go ahead, show me the evidence that says 'none'. An remember BamaD, this is a thread on the 'sovereign citizen', not 'firearms in general'. Lets both try to steer things back in that direction, ok?
