Gun Control & RKBA

(2,776 posts)excopLS: You say the same thing every time, and are not on the RKBA group to have a discussion, but to pontificate.
Pot kettle black, almost the whole gun gang here pontificates on the correctness of guns galore. Almost all guncontrol talk gets 'tread upon', usually with the same weird logic & 2ndAmendment mythological talking turkeys.
Whether you call it discussion or not I don't care, I attack & parry with posters quite often & don't give out cheap shots. What did you expect here, some kumbaya nicey nicey? C'c'c'can't we j'j'j'jes get along?
excop: If you change your mind and actually want to discuss this, let me know.
I've posted about a dozen in depth posts on this thread almost all relating to the issue developed from the OP, while you've contributed such insightful one sentence gems as the age range to belong to a militia.
Here's about the only salient contribution, one post 2 sentences, you've made here, about in it's entirety:
excop: Coxe was speaking of the fact that all (as in every citizen) of us were the militia and as such, entitled to military weapons.. that the general public should have access to regular military-grade weapons ("and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American..."
.
Right, because those were needed for militia functionality. And the predominant military weapon was a single shot flintlock musket with a bayonet attached ~80%, & then lesser so a single shot flintlock rifle ~20% - both comprising 98% of national gunstock. The other 'terrible implements of the soldier' were predominantly the cannon, which was predominantly in militia governance. Oh yes, edged weapons. Pitchforks too. But most farmers & conscientious objectors even had them those.
Otherwise, thanks for playing.
You got something right, I have been playing; you however, half the time sitting in the peanut gallery mocking.
