are you stating that you arm yourself for the purpose of defending our borders and that the MIC--"scary words"--can't do the job?
YOU will do it because the corrupt government will not do it.
You will be the line of defense?

I will answer--YES--the military has made an armed populace unnecessary.

An armed uprising against this government, or in the event of an ineffective military response, is laughable.

I do not like the state of affairs of the military,-- the money they consume, the fawning they draw, the power they exert--but the idea that the armed citizens are holding them in check is funny.

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

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
