Some people were upset by my earlier proposal

24. + I have yet to see a gun owner who favors the ability to form a militia say diddly-squat about

seeking the opinions of the public at large, who would be affected, severely affected, in many more ways than just one, by any such militia engaging in, ahem, cough, choke, "... armed 'defense' of the Constitution...."


IOW - BY VIRTUE OF THE GUNS THEMSELVES (and I can't emphasize that fact enough), some people think they have the right to start an armed conflict that will affect absolutely everyone else - without even asking everyone whether they assent to the impacts of that armed action in any degree whatsoever. It's thuggery, pure and simple. EXTORTION by middle-class gangsters living in our suburbs, holding down middle-class jobs, going to middle-class churches, leading middle-class lives, with the extra added espirit de corps of being a violent threat to anyone who disagrees with their desire to engage in violence FOR THE SAKE OF GUNS ALONE (another fact that I can't emphasize enough).
