Guns are a Cultural Issue

Arkady is substantially right about that, by definition!

Militia are by definition military, or paramilitary entities / organizations.

By being "organizations", they are by definition "organized".

I believe the current legal standard is not merely a formal command structure,
but in addition a formal command structure that is faithful to the U.S. president.

Without that, it's just a band of thugs.

God given = inalienable.
The two things are obviously not the same. Even if we imagine the existence of a God, if this God were omnipotent, or at least had some degree of freedom, he could give something and then take it away (say, a garden, or life), Thus, something could be God-given and still alienable.

Now, you're about to say, "Please copy and paste where I've advocated such a thing."
I wasn't, but now that you've telegraphed your fear, I can't resist rubbing your nose in it:

"Please copy and paste where I've advocated such a thing."

Weak-minded people are fun to screw with.

It is not man's place to act like God. To do so is to replace God with the state.

Post #193. Thank you and have a nice day.

Whoops!

Banning the sale of firearms and with the end game of confiscation is what all progs advocate.

Arky just fukt up and admitted it that's all. He didn't even recall doing it apparently as evidenced by his full throated challenge to you followed by his typical childish taunt.

What I wonder is why some on the left just can't admit their gun grabbing agenda.......maybe it's because the "weak minded" have trouble being honest.

Was the question too difficult for you? Why do you require more specificity? The words are easy to understand. It's a yes/no question.

If one murders, isn't one "playing god"?
It's a yes/no question to someone not bright enough to understand that there is not information to answer.
 
The role is empty and always has been. Why not fill it?
Because when we allow people like you to fill that role, millions are murdered.

Clinton's polling numbers went up in the wake of the deplorables comment. It pissed off the halfwits and the sub-human scum who were embarrassed to realize that people recognized how deplorable they were, but they already supported Trump, so it made no difference what they thought.

I'm not certain who "we " were, but we weren't trying to hit targets down hill at long range.

Knowing the numbers and trying to shoot by them is a bit like being a virgin and knowing all about sex. The actual experience is different.

It seems people have tremendous difficulty in following threads, including their own words. You wrote the above passage. Below was the response...

We were all virgins once, and hit our target just fine.

The we refers to all of us.

So I guess that answers all the questions of everybody who thinks the 2nd Amendment addresses only the militia.

Welcome to the militia @Arkady

And that's still a non sequitur.

Lack of experience does not equal gaining experience. Got it?

No, it's a truism. Lack of experience is quickly altered through experience. Indeed, the only way to garner experience is through experience. Got it?
