When you don the enemy's uniform, arm yourselves, and conduct show of force operations in an open and peaceful society, you fall into a different set of rules. Imagine if I tried to pull that noise in some other country. You'd be gunned down like a dog in the street by well-armed military forces as the police stand by and watch. View Quote Everyone of the other cock gobblers in that picture/video although I don't agree with them and at some point think it is going to turn into a civil war between us/them. Did not break any laws to my knowledge and have a right to be out there looking like idiots when they cross that line then it's a different story. Until then not looking for the government to come and squash people we don't agree with based on speach. |

There is still a point in using the constitutional provisions we can, i.e., Heller decision, to further gun rights, etc. Essentially the same way the left uses it, after having undercut its main purpose.

Well ? Where are the links ? Also. Sorry about the wrong use of the term low ready, but having my hands on my gun ( wrapped around the grip - trigger finger forward ) while impeding passage, telling someone to stop doing something I don't like, and physically shoving them is aggressively different than doing the same with a slung rifle with no hands on it.

Very slippery slope we're dealing with here. What happens when YOU don't pass the "ideological test" being administered? In the end, you either have a set of rules and morals, and live in a functioning society, or you don't, and you live in a chaotic bucket of venomous snakes. It is the duty of the electorate every bit as much as the elected to keep the society functioning as it was devised and promised. The fact that it's fallen so far already is as much our faults as it is theirs. It is also our duty to insure that your slippery slope never leads to the ideological test barring those who adhere to the spirit of the society. Quoted:
I don't see any politically feasible way to get back to following the Constitution properly. Social security and medicare basically destroyed that. I think the best that can be done is to stabilize things and stop the bleeding. Stuff like EPA can be rolled back. There are lots of specific areas where we can roll things back, gun rights has been one of our biggest victories in recent years. Anybody who expects the struggle back to the true path to be any shorter than the path to where we've arrived at this stage is fooling themselves. We need to grab hold of the mindset the instigators of the leftist slow march did those many long years ago. We need to understand that we won't see the end. We'll not live to see the goal achieved. Our job at this point is to set the course and train the troops. The educational system, the media, popular culture... These are the battlefields. We need to muster their conquest. Right now, at this moment, there is a cadre of alt media on youtube, facebook, minds.com, and vid.me who are doing pitched battle with legacy media. The lefties running facebook, google (and therefore youtube) and twitter are actively attacking them, changing rules, metrics, visibility, etc... They're getting their videos demonotized and delisted, their subscriber lists purged, and are fending off false copyright strikes. They need support. They don't all agree with us on many things, but they're in there fighting, and they deserve our support where we can give it. There are school boards all over the country whose seats aren't even contested. We bitch about what the schools teach our children, but leave the curriculum to the lefties who occupy those seats. Take them away. Change the pile of nonsense that's being taught. Teach our offspring the important things, the values, the hard science, history, philosophy that made America great once upon a time. Within 2 generations, the left will be an interesting cautionary tale. Feed the pepes. Run hoppean snake meme bumper stickers on your brodozers. Laugh at and with yourselves like the left never can, and you'll own the pop culture. Use it to steer the young back to the values that matter. (don't "I can haz", though. Seems to freak them out, or at least it does my kids) Mostly, we need to engage. Not combatively, but engage. Somebody says something stupid, don't just snort and walk past. Have a talk with them. You might be surprised how easy it is to red pill some of them, and any fresh ally is a swelling of our ranks. WE HAVE THE BETTER ARGUMENT! There's no really valid reason why we should lose. Social Security? Fucking CHILE has privatized social security, and it works like a champ. They've had it for decades, and it's a model that's not hard to follow. Da' fuq are we still using a failed model for? Because we destroy anybody who tries to change it, be they ours or theirs. Or because we allow the leftist media to paint it in deceptive ways. That's a narrative we can also change. It's not impossible, it's just hard. Quoted:
This guy gets it. Besides, let's play devil's advocate here. Chances are, plenty of leftists were saying the same thing when those on the right were having their wonderfully thought out open carry "protests". The left was probably referring to those folks as "enemy combatants" and "enemies of the state". What's that song say? "Nobody's right when everybody's wrong?" If you take the position that 'freedom' means that everybody is equally correct and takes an equally valid position, you're misapplying the term and tossing our society into the shitter. Somebody's right, and somebody's wrong. Those in the right might not prevail, but that doesn't make them wrong. If you're unable or unwilling to take a side or make a stand, that doesn't make you a supporter of freedom, it makes you a patsy. Quoted:
The Mapuche were and are mostly socialist and have been fighting the government even to this day. They aren't exactly what we'd call a "civilized tribe". They've been fighting the government since the 1500s. Mapuche conflict |

As soon as "soldier boy" shoved the "reporter" he minimally committed misdemeanor assault, but by having a weapon and wearing body armor that then likely was escalated to felony x3 as committing a crime with a weapon and body armor are illegal in many states (not sure if AZ is).
