what a thread. isn't it crazy how we can agree, yet one or two twists in the details make us opponents?
anyway, having been a philosophy major headed for law school, i found that the law (legal rights, particularly) is the hostile fault line between logic and practicality. ditched law for business, which is even worse (manipulative cutthroat fiction).
the militia, and gun rights, exist to protect the people from the government. some people need to review their history if they don't think we need either.
"obsolete"...morons. the very fact that they have this difference of opinion with the law should be evidence that conflict between the people and the government is plausible.
the line: we should, ideally, be a match for the government. not too likely. i wonder how many soldiers and police would defect and defend their homes and families rather than stick with their orders.
