''The Second Amendment's Authors Would Hate Today's Military''

[Mr.BR]

''You Can't Be Both "Pro Military" And "Pro Second Amendment"

''Given that the US military is one of the primary means by which the US government can exert its own coercive force, it seems a bit odd to think that one can simultaneously be "pro-military" while also being for gun rights designed to "balance a tyrannical force here."

''No principle of government was more widely understood or more completely accepted by the generation of Americans that established the United States than the danger of a standing army in peacetime. Because a standing army represented the ultimate in uncontrolled and controllable power, any nation that maintained permanent forces surely risked the overthrow of legitimate government and the introduction of tyranny and despotism.

The interesting thing is that so far we have managed to mostly keep the evil politicians from using said army against the citizens directly, rather they just use it as their own personal stick, and send it all around the globe for their pet causes & make everyone pay for it.

That's not to say when the "right" emergency "happens" they won't try to use it against the local citizenry like most other countries have from time to time.

Actualy not if you look at the some wilder past US miltary was used quite often on homesoil in service various tycoons particular interests , when it came to breaking strikes if guns for hire failed at one point they even used army airplanes to drop bombs on striking miners.

With that statement you make two things glaringly obvious:

1. You have never been in the military.

2. You are a really shitty troll.

Quite fortunately you can't be ignorant and learned at the same time. Articles like this happen from allowing your brain to stewer in its own juices while pulling on a bowl of Columbian gold and feeling really smart with all knowledge bombs Reddit and Twitter are known for. The arrogant and ignorant jackass that authored the article is a child of pithy statements absent of thought and full of ego.

Dictators wield power with thugs, police forces, and the militarization of police forces. The road to getting that far along is a little more complicated. For those too lazy to browse a few history books, much less read them, here are a few reads longer than Twitter allows. The third is on Pol Pot. Ideologically, this is who the author of that piece of shit article and folks like Bernie Sanders most closely resemble, IMHO.

If you are not a lazy and moronic jackass, like Ryan McMaken, two easy reads are

The article is not provocative. It is navel gazing thoughtlessness. They are words spoken from a man-child to weak to think, and absolutely without the will power to engage history, much less the very people he is speaking about. It is shit leaked from a mind so vegetative I can only compare it to wilted iceberg lettuce. It is a turd sailing with winds possessed with the total force of a moth fart.

Well said.
I was going to wax poetically but "the force of a moth fart" did me in.

It would probably depend on which end of the Sledgehammer you were making contact with...
If I'm stuck behind the wall of skulls, I can play really stupid and swing a sledgehammer like it's the only thing I've been doing my whole life.
