    FTR, I am one of those people "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" peoplw, not because of the 2A though. The Constitution is just paper that's done little to prevent infringements upon the rights of the governed. I am because of property rights.

    All of those weapons or more powerful alternatives are already available to anyone who really wants them.

    Surely I know you misunderstood my comment, which was dependent on prior comments for full context,

    Everyone has kids, wives, lovers, parents or friends. It cuts both ways. I’m not sure why that isn’t obvious.

    What you posted here is not subject to misinterpretation:

    "A meaningless point. Imagine you are in a house, and it's infested with cockroaches. So, you try and get rid of the cockroaches you have two choices
    1. Shoot them swat them, ie.,( regular combat )
    2. Fumigate the house ( Scorch earth the country )

    Of the above, if you really want to win, only #2 will work
    With bugs, it's doable, but with a country, it's not ( with Viet Nam and Afganistan ).
    So, what's left when the terrain and politics renders your winning option not doable?"] Patricio Da Silva, post: 1072745793
    (emphasis mine)

    The is no "context" that can fix what you posted. IMO, you should stop using dehumanization to further a political agenda.

    “3. References and comparisons to animals
    This is a well-known tactic that was used primarily in the Holocaust. Jews were often compared to rats in various forms of propaganda, including art pieces, posters, films (The Eternal Jew), and in speeches from prominent Nazis throughout the Third Reich. This, again, makes the majority group feel like the minority is sub-human and inferior, allowing them to become more disposable.”

    What this
    "We will either learn from this history of failure or keep repeating it . Americans no longer support endless warfare.
    Our rulers had better get woke - fast."

    Has to do with this.

    Your rebuttal failed to refute the salient points, that particular one is not one of them.

    YOU brought up the vulnerabilities of family as pressure points. I’m simply pointing out the same pressure can be applied to the family of military members and politicians. YOU made the point, I pointed out how it can and would work against your position as much as it helps it. In fact the military is bound by rules of engagement a group of insurgents or revolutionaries are not. One does not have to be high to take advantage of this fact.

    General point to PF members: This is an open forum. If you do not want a portion of your post discussed or countered, do not include that portion in your post. If it isn’t relevant to your point and you do not want others to address it, please do us the courtesy of leaving it out!

    Focus here: "We will either learn from this history of failure..."

    What does the now very long history of US military failure teach us?

    On that note, I've seen an increasing number of posts in various online forums along the lines of "your liberties aren't dying. They're being killed by people with names and addresses." And "bomber pilots have families too." It's definitely something people are aware of.

    Interesting. I suppose normalizing doxing of those we disagree with has consequences. Can’t expect such behavior to not snowball into something bigger. When we don’t respect human life, let alone differing opinions, this shouldn’t be a surprise.

    Criminals violate the law.
    Hence the inconvenient truth: When guns are banned only criminals and the minions of the state will have weapons.

    So this idiot basically threatened to take the military and turn it on US citizens including nuclear weapons in the Air Force and you people just totally ignore that my God if Trump would have said half of that y'all would have dropped dead of a heart attack and a stroke combined the absolute willful ignorance and turning a blind eye on the things this idiot does It truly does know no bounds zero shame

    IMO, the crooks that run the DNC know they are marketing the Big Lie.
    The dupes who believe them just follow and do as they are told.

    You keep denying the obvious fact: Weapons have proved very effective in fights against the USG and other governments throughout human history. Surely you know that.
