What’s the likelihood that we see civil unrest soon?

Dang ... having open heart surgery is a good possibility of dying on the table right there.
That's where they crack you open from the neck to your sternum. That's serious stuff. Glad that you recovered from all that.

I second this opinion. @USAFgolferVol

 

[Septic]

Good point.

Have you thought about the bigger picture of the border issue?

Elaborate please.

Be careful about assuming my position.

 

[luthervol]

Where do I ask for that? That's what more freedom means to you? Good grief

A bad government fears an educated and informed public more than it fears an armed public.

It's not a bunch of armed ignoramuses' that keep the government in check. It is knowledge and a thinking electorate.
We have far more of the former than the latter.

 

[luthervol]

Oh my. Do you think thats what the founders had in mind? Do you think they meant for the government to out arm it citizenry when the whole point of the 2nd was to curtail a tyrannical government?

I don't want my next door neighbor to have access to nukes.
Maybe that's just me.

It's funny because you think you're part of the educated and informed part that is held back by us armed ignoramuses'

Quadruple in Dec 2016. Was up doing rehab the next day. Vanderbilt Heart dubbed me the "enigma" because of the massive blockages I had without having a heart attack. Lucky I guess

So there have been no amendments since it was written (and that happened a while after 1776)?

It was never meant to be a static document

The amendments that pertain to this conversation have not changed. Not one word.

 

[luthervol]

Got to go.
It's my B'day. Headed to the local brewery.

I asked you a question, care to answer or evade?

 

[Septic]

As far as I know the word’s haven’t changed since 1776. What do you mean “evolved””?

lulz

It's been changed 27 times.

 

[USAFgolferVol]

Happy Birthday! Easy on the beer

Maybe you'll be right is you keep drilling down.

That's scary as heck ... knowing after surgery about "massive blockages" in there.
People sometimes just drop dead where they stand because of those & didn't realize they had'em. More than lucky I'd say. Spirit in the sky guy looking over you.

Being educated/informed and armed aren't mutually exclusive. Being armed doesn't make you an ignoramus. But I do think a well informed electorate is much more valuable than a bunch of people who think they're going to have some glorious battle to defend themselves against the BLM-vaxxer-stormtroopers.

Birthday? So you made it to 14 huh?

 

[BreatheUT]

Or piss on women

Repeating false liberal talking points you know that have been proven fake? The ole Russian hookers.

What's the last country who fought and won against tyranny using their superior information? What's the last govt that took guns but maintained or increased individual freedoms?

 

[BreatheUT]

Did anyone else hear the f*** Joe Biden chants during the game yesterday?

The game wasn't on regular television but someone reported hearing it.

 

[NashVol11]

No. But when tyranny becomes law, defiance becomes duty.

Lol I guess I should have expected this from a guy with a Punisher avi

BLM didn’t take their BS outside of inner cities for good reason.

I'm talking about the US and our current political system. I dont think we're in such a dire situation as internet message boards make it out to be. I'm not in favor of taking guns, but I don't think the US is headed for some armed civil conflict because we're about to turn into some communist dictatorship.

More internet Billy Bada$$ery?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Hows that? They (BLM) didn't come here to my home town with their thuggery ways.
They stayed where they could get away with what they were doing because of weak minded Democratic mayors/governors whimping out & no enforcement of local laws. A blind eye to chaos only encourages them to keep on keeping on.

 

[NashVol11]

Actually yes. That’s how I got you pegged. Disarm the public, make police and military outgun the civilians to make it easier to oppress so you leftist can finally have the dictatorship you’ve always dreamed of. Why not just move to Afghanistan? I’ll help you pack!

The police and military outgun the citizens already, except in weird Republican fantasies
