    Agreed.. but their ability to do so is what assures not only that they have civilized, peaceful nation but a free one as well.

    After all. tyrannies are very civilized and peaceful as long as the people
    obey those oppressing them. But is that how you prefer to live?

    Which is why colonial militias and the Continental Army were controlled
    by civillians, colonial governments or Continental Congress. Post
    revolution that has always been elected state governors or presidents.

    Iraq has had armed militias roaming its countryside for years. “Peaceful” and “civilized” were not words that came to mind during that time.

    “Peaceful” and “civilized” are descriptions of societies where you can walk down the street with your head held high, without fear of being shot
    at.

    These are societies where parents don’t have to worry about buying bulletproof backpacks, to try to ensure their kids survive their school
    years.

    None of them keep “armed militias” hanging around.

    Indeed. The "armed citizenry" was no help
    when America was invaded by the British in
    1812, or when Texas was invaded by Mexico,
    or when the Confederacy was invaded by Union
    troops, or Native Americans when their lands
    were invaded by US government troops. In
    every case the victory went to the regular
    professional army. "our liberty is guaranteed
    by our guns" NRA bullshit is just that.

    None of them keep “armed militias” hanging around.

    In particular, these societies are not "peaceful and civilized" societies
    as a *result of* any militias.

    scooter clings to a myth about the American citizen militia that *never*
    was true: the militia *never* repelled a foreign invasion, and *never*
    took down a tyrannical government. The only thing armed militias did in
    the past was to serve as slave patrols, both to apprehend escaped slaves
    and to suppress slave rebellions.

    Well if we only look at the history of Democrats, you might have a point...
    but the militia exists even when the military doesn't Sure they aren't an
    army nor are they meant to be.. at first. However without arms, there is no basis in which to form either a militia or an army short of outside aid.

    Its like saying you have no freedom of the press unless you have a
    government issued printing press and an government appointed editor to tell
    you want to write, when to write it and whe then decides if you will even be allowed to print it.

    Yea, if we treated out other rights in the manner you want our right to arms
    to be treated we would be mere serfs to the government.

    Oh, but you LIKE being a serf

    The founders, scooter, saw the militia as an organized force with known commanders, training, and a mechanism for calling it out. You know,
    scooter: the whole "well regulated" thing.

    Yes, but the right to keep and bear arms does NOT depend on the government
    to provide such regulation. Further they people themselves can provide such regulation if they chose to do so. So regardless of the regulation to the militia, the people's right to keep and bear arms remains.

    Further if there are not such militia.. is it because laws prohibit them
    or those things which they would need to have to be such a militia?

    It's because there's no structure, either in organization or known commanders; no instruction; no mechanism for calling it out.

    Actually, the law provides a mechanism to call out the militia. As for the
    lack of any structure, that's not needed until or unless they are called
    out, and failure to provide for any of this doesn't not interfere with the people's right to arms. For the citizens can, do and will regulate
    themselves as needed in times of need.

    You might as well say the the right to vote depending on the government to provide polling places, and if they fail to do so then people aren't allowed
    to vote on their government.

    Show us this law.

    From the Constitution Article 2.

    To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the
    Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

    To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and
    for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the
    United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of
    the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

    I do not know how Congress has use this power, put Google makes it easy
    to search the US Code.

    As for
    the lack of any structure, that's not needed until or unless they are
    called out, and failure to provide for any of this doesn't not
    interfere with the people's right to arms. For the citizens can, do
    and will regulate themselves as needed in times of need.

    Show us where that has ever happened.

    Congress has used its power to organise parts of state militias into
    what is called the National Guard. The Guard has often been deployed domestically and abroad under the president. Governors have used the
    Guard domestically.

    No one responded. A Japanese submarine surfaced near Santa Barbara and lobbed a few shells at the Ellwood oil field, damaging a well. Then it submerged and departed.


    There was no battle when Oregon was attacked.

    That's because Japan launched unmanned "balloon bombs" that cross over the Pacific and overflew Oregon. One exploded near Bly, OR, killing a woman and five
    children at a picnic.

    Louisiana fought the British in New Orleans in 1815. I was not able to
    find out if our side was Louisiana militia.

    That was regular army under General Jackson.

    I did not think the federal army could get there, but thanks because I
    could not find out.

    Did Maryland or Virginia
    defend the Potomac?

    Not as states or state militias, no. The militias of the various
    states were recruited into and trained by the regular army.

    I do not know the course of the Potomac, but the Brits followed it to
    District of Columbia.

    California was attacked in 1942. I do not know if the US Army or
    California Guard responded.

    Attacked by who? Japan?

    Yes. A Japanese submarine used its deck gun against oil production a
    couple of times.

    There was no battle when Oregon was attacked.

    ?

    Japan released armed balloons across the Pacific. One killed a church
    picnic.

    Individual states have been attacked. Actions have been brief before the national military could get there, with only state resources available.

    Excellent point.. lets add to it

    44-1. Composition of militia.
    The militia of the Commonwealth of Virginia shall consist of all able-bodied residents of the Commonwealth who are citizens of the United States and all other able-bodied persons resident in the Commonwealth who have declared
    their intention to become citizens of the United States, who are at least 16 years of age and, except as hereinafter provided, not more than 55 years of age. The militia shall be divided into three classes: the National Guard,
    which includes the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard; the
    Virginia Defense Force; and the unorganized militia.

    So women count as do 16 & 17 year olds. Further any not older than 55 unless exclusions apply.

    What incidents?

    None. Had there actually been any, he'd have haughtily described them
    in detail if only to rub our noses in it.

    Why bother when Rudy has shown time and time again that the facts don't
    matter to him. Further I assume you are an intelligent adult capable of research of your own. Further finding the information for yourself allows
    you to independently verify what you've been told as well as to explore
    details that might not be presented in a short Usenet post.

    I will point out the Creek War and the subsequent pursuit of the British forces. Then Hampstead Hill, along with the Defense of Baltimore and New Orleans along with the defense of communities along the shore of Delaware during the British Blockade.

    Now, do I need to rub your nose in it and post specific proofs, or are we intelligent adults here... with the exclusion of Rudy?

    Well, you see, the difference is, a printing press is a constructive tool, whereas a gun is just a destructive weapon.

    A printing press can be used to print books and magazines and sheet music
    and brochures and whatnot -- all useful, peaceful, constructive kinds of things, that can inform and entertain people, or entice them to buy nice things.

    It can also be used to print propaganda, hatred, lies, deception, bigotry,
    and all the other ills which can be put on paper.

    Whereas all a gun can do is blow holes in things.

    Which depending on what, when and why such holes are being made can be a WONDERFUL thing.

    A head shot to a terrorist about to detonate a bomb that will kill hundreds, thousands or even millions can be a very good thing.
    A shot to get meat to feed a starving family can be a very useful thing. Freeing a country by shooting an oppressive despot can save thousands of
    lives and improve the lives of hundreds of thousands.
    A woman shooting a rapist to avoid being raped is a wonderful thing.

    A press just applies ink to paper.. yet you look at what that can mean.. but with a gun.. what firing that shot can mean is suddenly irrelevant.

    There isn't any "militia" as the founders envisioned it.

    Sure there is.. just catch the start of every deer season.

    Nothing to do with any militia, scooter.

    Sure it does

    No, scooter. It has nothing to do with the militia, scooter. Women,
    teenage boys under age 18 and adult men above age 45 all hunt deer,
    scooter, and they are excluded by law from the unorganized militia.

    And you think those are the only people going deer hunting on opening
    day?

    Deer hunting has nothing to do with the unorganized militia, scooter.

    Sure it does. Marksmanship, weather conditions, stealth, movement, even
    active shooting against live targets.

    All skills that are useful in combat.

    However, I acknowledge your admission they are the unorganized militia.

    BOOM!

    Well several times they were very effective.

    No, scooter.

    In Citizen Soldiers in the War of 1812, Skeen investigates militia
    participation at the state level and its use to supplement regular
    forces. He
    also provides an overview of militia performance and concludes that
    these
    troops were ineffective for carrying out the war.

    They weren't there to be "carrying out the war", they were there to serve as the militia, and like all such military activities they had their successes
    and their failures.

    If nothing else they diverted troops and compounded the job of the British
    as they always had to be concerned an unexpected attack when/where they
    weren't expecting one. That limits your options and as serious negative
    impacts on your options.

    of the militia. *None* of them described or defined a mechanism for
    calling out the unorganized militia, scooter.

    So you didn't bother to actually look at all of them.

    Your refusal to look at the evidence is on you. The data was presented. All
    you have now is your self imposed ignorance.

    War of 1812 in several incidents.

    That's not "time and time again," scooter. And the militia was
    *utterly* ineffective in that conflict.

    Well several times they were very effective.

    No, scooter.

    In Citizen Soldiers in the War of 1812, Skeen investigates militia
    participation at the state level and its use to supplement regular
    forces. He
    also provides an overview of militia performance and concludes that
    these
    troops were ineffective for carrying out the war.

    They weren't there to be "carrying out the war", they were there to serve
    as the militia,

    And they were *atrocious* as a military force, scooter: untrained, disorganized, cut-and-run, etc.

    In some cases, in others they were anything but, which is more than enough
    to refute the claim "the militia was *utterly* ineffective in that
    conflict".

    What the militia was very good at was causing the British to disperse their forces which is very useful activity in any military conflict. Thus by their mere presence they reduced the effectiveness of the British military which
    was a significant benefit to the American forces.

    "Arned militias" have no respect for

    There isn't any "militia" as the founders envisioned it.

    Sure there is.. just catch the start of every deer season.

    Nothing to do with any militia, scooter.

    Sure it does

    No, scooter. It has nothing to do with the militia, scooter. Women,
    teenage boys under age 18 and adult men above age 45 all hunt deer,
    scooter, and they are excluded by law from the unorganized militia.

    And you think those are the only people going deer hunting on opening
    day?

    Deer hunting has nothing to do with the unorganized militia, scooter.

    Sure it does.

    No, scooter, it doesn't.

    I posted why it does.. if you refuse to look at it, or show what is wrong
    with my points, then you have nothing to talk about.

    You're like a pouty child who can't get his way.

    Maybe if you did something about your willful ignorance that might help
    since I know you can do nothing about your stupidity.

    Sure it is. The Governor says, "make this happen" and it does.

    After all, I bet you can't find a mechanism for pardons in federal law,
    either but somehow they still manage to occur.

    You haven't presented any, scooter.

    Repeating your denial doesn't alter the truth. I posted it,

    You didn't, scooter — no mechanism. This is settled, scooter.

    Then how do they manage to do it? I mean it's been done.. which according to you is impossible.

    Meanwhile I acknowledge your admission the militia exists, that governors
    and the President have the power to call it into service.. you're just concerned because you don't know the mechanism by which this is done.

    Whereas all a gun can do is blow holes in things.

    Which depending on what, when and why such holes are being made can be a WONDERFUL thing.

    A head shot to a terrorist about to detonate a bomb that will kill
    hundreds, thousands or even millions can be a very good thing.

    Assuming they haven’t already pulled the pin, and all you’re doing is releasing their pressure on the trigger ...

    A shot to get meat to feed a starving family can be a very useful thing. Freeing a country by shooting an oppressive despot can save thousands of lives and improve the lives of hundreds of thousands.
    A woman shooting a rapist to avoid being raped is a wonderful thing.

    You seem to think a lot of problems can be solved just by killing
    somebody. Forgetting that the person you're thinking of killing is likely
    to be armed themselves -- indeed, likely to outgun you.

    What’re you going to do then?

    And yet it has happened. Time and time again.

    Tell us when the United States was invaded by a foreign power who
    was driven off by ordinary citizens taking up their private arms
    against them.

    War of 1812 in several incidents.


    What incidents?

    None. Had there actually been any, he'd have haughtily described
    them in detail if only to rub our noses in it.

    Why bother when Rudy has shown time and time again that the facts
    don't matter to him. Further I assume you are an intelligent adult
    capable of research of your own. Further finding the information for >>yourself allows you to independently verify what you've been told as
    well as to explore details that might not be presented in a short
    Usenet post.

    I will point out the Creek War and the subsequent pursuit of the
    British forces. Then Hampstead Hill, along with the Defense of
    Baltimore and New Orleans along with the defense of communities along
    the shore of Delaware during the British Blockade.

    Now, do I need to rub your nose in it and post specific proofs, or are
    we intelligent adults here... with the exclusion of Rudy?



    What's Rudy got to do with it? You claimed that militia beat back
    British regulars during the War of 1812 on multiple occasions. I'm
    asking for you to back that up with some certifiable facts.




    The militia were consistently the
    worst troops to fight in the Revolution.
    Untrained, undisciplined, quick to run
    away from a fight. In fact Daniel Morgan
    won the battle of Cowpens by capitalizing
    on this fact, putting the militia in the
    front ranks to lure the British into
    attacking them and setting up an ambush.

    I have repeatedly.

    Not once, scooter. What you posted were statutes defining the
    composition of the militia. *None* of them described or defined a
    mechanism for calling out the unorganized militia, scooter.

    So you didn't bother to actually look at all of them.

    I looked at all of them, scooter, and none specified a *mechanism* for
    calling up the unorganized militia. They addressed the *authority* of
    the governor to do so. That's not a mechanism, scooter.

    Sure it is.

    No, scooter, it doesn't exist.

    And yet it does. No matter how much you stick your fingers in your ears and yell "Does NOT!" the militia exists, as it will continue to exist, as it
    exists even when it is illegal.
    That's the nature of rights.. we don't NEED permission to have them. Just as there is no need for a law for the militia to organize if people chose to do so.

    That's what you really don't understand.. human self will.. since you apparently have none and need to be told what to do every moment of every
    day.

    What's Rudy got to do with it? You claimed that militia beat back

    There isn't any "militia" as the founders envisioned it.

    Sure there is.. just catch the start of every deer season.

    Nothing to do with any militia, scooter.

    Sure it does.. look at the legal requirements to be a member of the >>>>>> unorganized militia. The overwhelming bulk of them qualify.

    No, scooter. It has nothing to do with the militia, scooter. Women,
    teenage
    boys under age 18 and adult men above age 45 all hunt deer, scooter, >>>>> and
    they are excluded by law from the unorganized militia.

    By federal law... but states define their own militias.

    That was exceptionally stupid even by your appallingly low standards,
    Cunt
    Flaps.

    RCW 38.04.030
    Composition of the militia.
    The militia of the state of Washington shall consist of all able bodied >>>> citizens of the United States and all other able bodied persons who
    have
    declared their intention to become citizens of the United States,
    residing
    within this state, who shall be more than eighteen years of age, and
    shall
    include all persons who are members of the national guard and the state >>>> guard, and said militia shall be divided into two classes, the
    organized
    militia and the unorganized militia.

    Excellent point.. lets add to it

    44-1. Composition of militia.
    The militia of the Commonwealth of Virginia shall consist of all
    able-bodied
    residents of the Commonwealth who are citizens of the United States and
    all
    other able-bodied persons resident in the Commonwealth who have declared >>> their intention to become citizens of the United States, who are at
    least 16
    years of age and, except as hereinafter provided, not more than 55 years >>> of
    age. The militia shall be divided into three classes: the National
    Guard,
    which includes the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard; the
    Virginia Defense Force; and the unorganized militia.

    So women count as do 16 & 17 year olds. Further any not older than 55
    unless
    exclusions apply.

    Another inconvenient truth.


    When has any militia been instrumental in defending the nation?

    Define "instrumental" the militia's involvement has occurred in pretty much every conflict that occurred on US territory and waters.

    In some cases their involvement was instrumental in that conflict or
    preventing that conflict... the first one well known one was the one that involved Paul Revere's ride and the victory of the militia in the battles of Lexington and Concord.

    The stores they defended were later used to help liberate America from
    British Rule, Who's to say that if those stores were lost the final result wouldn't have been different and we would have remained part of the British Empire.

    See that's the problem with words like "instrumental" when exactly does it become instrumental.

    However, whether instrumental or not, the militia exists, is defined within
    the law, and has been used in very major conflict on US soil.

    Finally, even is we assume the militia is utterly irrelevant.. that changes NOTHING, absolutely nothing about our right to keep and bear arms.

    You seem to assert that unless the militia is needed and has been "instrumental" then our rights are meaningless.

    No, that's not how it works. My right to print a newpaper has NOTHING to do with how "instrumental" it is to the country. For that matter have you EVER been "instrumental" to the country.. if not, why can't we simply execute
    you? I mean your rights are hardly relevant and unimportant per your
    standards.

    Yep, only people who have been "instrumental" have a right to life according
    to you, everyone else can be subject to immediate execution at the will of
    the government.. is the argument of Swill

    Let's put it this way.

    EVEN IF THE MILITIA DID NOT EXIST OUR RIGHT WOULD.

    Our right exists regardless of anything else. Just as your rights exist even though you have never been instrumental to anything involving the country.

    Whereas all a gun can do is blow holes in things.

    Which depending on what, when and why such holes are being made can be a
    WONDERFUL thing.

    A head shot to a terrorist about to detonate a bomb that will kill
    hundreds, thousands or even millions can be a very good thing.

    Assuming they haven’t already pulled the pin, and all you’re doing is releasing their pressure on the trigger ...

    A shot to get meat to feed a starving family can be a very useful thing.
    Freeing a country by shooting an oppressive despot can save thousands of
    lives and improve the lives of hundreds of thousands.
    A woman shooting a rapist to avoid being raped is a wonderful thing.

    You seem to think a lot of problems can be solved just by killing
    somebody. Forgetting that the person you're thinking of killing is likely
    to be armed themselves -- indeed, likely to outgun you.

    What’re you going to do then?

    Head shot.. then it doesn't matter how much they "outgun" me.
    Look up the liberator pistol.... it wasn't designed to "outgun" the enemy.. only to kill them so you could relieve them of their weapons.

    Be more specific, please, because as a Civil War buff, iirc the

    not to defend it.

    The best defense is a strong offense.

    Sure it is.

    No, scooter, it doesn't exist.

    And yet it does.

    No, scooter. No mechanism for calling out the all-but-fictional

    A Rudyism that is used anytime he knows am prepared to kick his ass with the facts, because I already have.

    Authority to call it out is not a mechanism for calling it out, scooter.

    It certainly is the first part of it. Further I've already cited the law

    I will point out the Creek War and the subsequent pursuit of the
    British
    forces. Then Hampstead Hill, along with the Defense of Baltimore and
    New
    Orleans along with the defense of communities along the shore of
    Delaware
    during the British Blockade.

    Now, do I need to rub your nose in it and post specific proofs, or are >>>> we

    What's Rudy got to do with it? You claimed that militia beat back
    British regulars during the War of 1812 on multiple occasions. I'm
    asking for you to back that up with some certifiable facts.

    Sorry, but I said no such thing.

    Yes, scooter, you did. You were asked,

    Tell us when the United States was invaded by a foreign power who was
    driven off by ordinary citizens taking up their private arms against
    them.

    And your moronic reply was,

    War of 1812 in several incidents.

    And now you're whiffing off, as usual, from identifying any of those incidents. Why are you whiffing off? Because you're full of shit, of
    course.

    Rudy, you seem to feel I have an obligation to waste my time providing cites which we all know you will ignore. I was hoping you might be interested
    enough for one to look for yourself, since we both know that no matter what
    I produce you will invent excuses to exclude it.

    Sorry, but I just no longer care what you think. I no longer need to prove anything to you because we all know you will ignore it.

    Na, I provided enough information that anyone interested can find them for themselves and thus know I'm not making it up.

    In your case.. you don't back up your bullshit claims.. so why should I
    bother to do so for my claims to you?

    To get references.. you need to provide them. You don't so I don't have to

    There isn't any "militia" as the founders envisioned it.

    Sure there is.. just catch the start of every deer season.

    Nothing to do with any militia, scooter.

    Sure it does.. look at the legal requirements to be a member of >>>>>>>>>> the

    No, scooter. It has nothing to do with the militia, scooter. >>>>>>>>> Women, teenage

    scooter, and
    they are excluded by law from the unorganized militia.

    By federal law... but states define their own militias.

    That was exceptionally stupid even by your appallingly low
    standards, Cunt
    Flaps.

    RCW 38.04.030
    Composition of the militia.
    The militia of the state of Washington shall consist of all able >>>>>>>> bodied

    guard, and said militia shall be divided into two classes, the >>>>>>>> organized

    Excellent point.. lets add to it

    § 44-1. Composition of militia.
    The militia of the Commonwealth of Virginia shall consist of all >>>>>>> able-bodied
    residents of the Commonwealth who are citizens of the United States >>>>>>> and all

    So women count as do 16 & 17 year olds. Further any not older than >>>>>>> 55 unless

    Another inconvenient truth.

    That's a Category 2 scooterism: weasel words to try to create wiggle

    What I say means exactly what I said.

    No, scooter. This is a well-known category of scooterism:

    Sure it is.

    No, scooter. No mechanism for calling out the all-but-fictional

    Having already cited the law that provides this mechanism,

    No, scooter, you didn't. I read the the text for that law, scooter,
    and it did not in any way identify any mechanism. All it did was
    provide the authority for the governor to summon the unorganized

    The fact that the unorganized militia exists and can be summoned pretty

    This is settled, scooter.

    No, Blowjob, you stupid fucking *fat* cocksucker and draft dodger and Social Security dole scrounger, there is no mechanism for summoning it.

    Didn't need to, it provided for the mechanism. That mechanism is now to be found in the procedures, directives, and instructions set up by the governor
    or his staff. You're not going to find it in the law as once the law put the authority upon the governor leaves the means and methods up to the governor.
    If you were as knowledgeable as you assert you would know this, and further would know how to find it. You put out a challenge, I met it, you then moved the goal posts. I'm not chasing your goal post moves.



    All it did was
    provide the authority for the governor to summon the unorganized
    militia, scooter, but no mechanism was identified. You lied, scooter.

    The fact that the unorganized militia exists and can be summoned pretty
    much nukes your silly argument.

    Exactly, if Rudy wants the details as to how that would be carried out, then he's free to look into it, but is beyond the scope of what is necessary to disprove his assertion.

    This is settled, scooter.

    A Rudyism

    That is *always* a bullshit statement, scooter.

    So tell us something new.

    I don't think he can. He can't even figure out the law much less directives, procedures, policies and all the other forms of documentation which which
    legal authorization is turned into action. Rudy made a claim, I refuted it.. now he's complaining I didn't provide enough details when I refuted his lie.
    As if once it was exposed as a lie, any more details were needed.

    The thing with a crowd of peaceful, unarmed demonstrators is, if the
    Government shoots at them, it immediately gives them the moral high
    ground. That kind of thing tends to sway public opinion in favour of the underdog.

    Any repressive Government would *want* you to try shooting at them. Then
    they can happily return fire and completely massacre your side, and nobody
    will seriously object.

    Well, I'm not the sort of person to hunt people with a gun. So other than
    some paintball which is a totally different sort of combat, I can't say for certain how I would do in live fire combat between humans. While I doubt I would stand up against professionals for long, I am reasonably confident I would have some advantages over the ordinary run of the mill person who has never even touched a gun much less learned how to use it. I will just note
    that one of our most successful combat soldiers.. did so with the skills he learned while hunting. So feel free to consider me harmless... it's good to
    be underestimated. Meanwhile, while I might be at a severe disadvantage..
    what would you be? Down on your knees begging for your useless life telling them they can have your wife, children, even grandmother just as long as
    they let you live?
    Yea, somehow, while I might be at a disadvantage... you would be helpless.

    Because they are attempting to take the perp alive, and are attempting to incapacitate.

    I would be fighting for survival that's a totally different type of combat

    scooter has never done a "head shot" in his life — not of a human and not of any non-human animal. scooter is blowing smoke out his gaping

    Rudy chimes in with

    facts.

    At best unsupported supposition, at worst outright lies, which is usually
    all Rudy has.

    Yes, scooter, facts. You have never done any sort of "head shot."

    Care to prove that? Didn't think so because I know I've done so, and you probably know that I probably have as well.

    You're just pissed because you put up a standard...... only to realize that it's really not that high a jump.

    Yep. These gun fondlers like scooter imagine themselves to be "masters
    of the universe," always able to outthink and and outrun and outgun
    their nemeses,

    Hardly, but

    Yes, you do, scooter. It's exactly like the way you imagine yourself to be some kind of Usenet ninja, when nothing could be further from the truth.

    Well compared to you.. pretty much anyone else is a Usenet ninja. After all, doesn't take much to be a Usenet ninja when your Usenet opponent is an
    ignorant idiot like you.


    but they have *never* been put to the test.

    How would you know?

    It doesn't matter "how" I know, scooter. I just know.

    IOW, you're lying. Because I can point to examples were they have been put
    to the test and came out on top. But you would know nothing about that.



    They're living fantasy conflicts in their diseased minds

    Says the person regularly

    kicking the asses of right-wingnuts. Yes, scooter.

    Rudy's shows his delusions are the basis of his arguments.


    and they just have *no* idea how an actual conflict is going to unfold.

    No one does.

    You pretend you do, scooter.

    Cite.

    Oh, that's right, you can't.

    Did you know cops are trained to do body shots, not head shots? Ever
    wonder why?

    Because they are attempting to take the perp alive, and are attempting
    to incapacitate.

    LOL, nope.


    I would be fighting for survival that's a totally different type of
    combat with very different rules.

    Such as how the US Military's basic doctrine & training is to shoot at
    center of mass.

    scooter has never done a "head shot" in his life — not of a human >>> and not of any non-human animal. scooter is blowing smoke out his
    gaping HIV-oozing asshole.

    Rudy chimes in with

    facts.

    distortions.

    Yes, scooter, facts. You have never done any sort of "head shot."

    You're the "x-spurt". You get head shots in dark parking lots all the
    time.

    You have no room to talk. You and your silly transgender AI toys can't

    No. To incapacitate, you would try shooting at the legs.

    Try again, if you are enough of a gun expert.

    There are no armed militias roaming the countryside in the United

    Waco'ed, or both.

    Perhaps because “peaceable men” do not go around carrying guns, and are prepared to use them ...

    The thing with a crowd of peaceful, unarmed demonstrators is, if the
    Government shoots at them, it immediately gives them the moral high
    ground. That kind of thing tends to sway public opinion in favour of
    the underdog.

    Sort of depends on the demonstrators doesn't it?

    Typically, you do not get lots of people demonstrating on the street
    unless the general populace is really worked up about something.

    So the question is: does it? If so, how?
