So now you admit they exist. That would make your earlier implications that I was deluded/lying rather uncalled for. I would dare say, dishonorable.

I don't know how you got "taking up arms against the MIC" from "the MIC obviates the militia" but, yes, I do consider that supportive of the MIC because when these arguments are made the binary of the situation comes down to -- who would we rather have? The MIC or the people? I have yet to see the Controllers side with the people. In fact, they expect the people to disarm in the face of an MIC that is, by supposition, waging war on the American people.

If you can find a post where a gun control advocate has made a comment to the effect of, "these gunners might be crazier than outhouse rats but if the government ever does go rogue I sure hope they prevail" I would delight in seeing it. You'll find the site search feature in the upper-right hand corner of your web browser; seeing as you're all big on people showing their theses and stuff.

How about you? If the MIC does go rogue who will you be rooting for?

Huh? Any links to specific threads? villager Jul 2015 #1

It's your OP and your thesis. Where are these pro-MIC DUers in gun control threads? villager Jul 2015 #3

We'll count you as one of them. Nuclear Unicorn Jul 2015 #4

Sure, Senator McCarthy. Absent any links, evidence, proof, etc., you just go ahead! villager Jul 2015 #5

My first premise is -- the assumption the MIC obviates the need for a militia. Nuclear Unicorn Jul 2015 #7

So you view yourself as part of a "well-regulated militia" taking up arms *against* the MIC? villager Jul 2015 #8

Ah yes, the ol' "lay back, try to relax and hopefully it will all be over soon" defense. Nuclear Unicorn Jul 2015 #13

No, Sen. McCarthy, those threads were about "well-regulated militias" and the intent villager Jul 2015 #11

So you're keeping your guns oiled and ready for an eventual showdown with our own government? villager Jul 2015 #15

Actually, I can't help but think a people who are well armed and of the mind to defend themselves Nuclear Unicorn Jul 2015 #16

So you really *do* watch "Red Dawn" a lot in your household. villager Jul 2015 #17

Actually, I've never seen the original but I want to see the new one but only because Nuclear Unicorn Jul 2015 #18

I'm just curious who it is you actually imagine gunning down in the streets of your neighborhood villager Jul 2015 #19

I don't imagine gunning down anyone. Why do Controllers imagine decent people gunning Nuclear Unicorn Jul 2015 #20

Ok, so you imagine robbers, rapists, foreigners, and U.S. Army folk being deterred by your guns villager Jul 2015 #21

I wear a seatbelt but I don't look forward to being in an accident. Nuclear Unicorn Jul 2015 #22

You of course keep dodging the question. *How* -- exactly -- will your guns keep the MIC in check? villager Jul 2015 #23

I'm not dodging. Do you think any serious person would propose banning guns knowing Nuclear Unicorn Jul 2015 #24

No, that's not why I support the RKBA. I support the RKBA because self-defense is a human right. Nuclear Unicorn Jul 2015 #31
