"Mr. McGee, you won't like me when I'm angry...">

I just now read this for the first time.

You ought to have retained this in your mind, as a corrective to yourself, when you wrote a response to this:

Then you say that I can't know "that you can't fall away from God" because I would have to have a *definitive understanding* (why?) of God Things to know that, and that's not true, clear, coherent or justified.

Paul gave advice to married people, but he wasn't married, he wasn't those people, but none the less what he said was right and true. So you don't have to be somebody else to comment rightly and truthfully on something that they are living and you are not.

All things are things of God but that doesn't stop you from thinking you know some truths about the world. Morality, the Good, is a thing of God, and yet you *know* that at least *some* things are good or evil, right or wrong. T

That's the long and short of it.

The problem is The NRA has Prez Stooge Trump in their pocket as 'The Donald' was awarded 21 Million $$$$$$$$$$$$ dollars to his Presidential Campaign by the NRA..

Marco Rubia got his cool 3 million as did most GOP Rats.. Also corrupt GOPer Screwheads like Paul Ryan, Ted Cruz Mitchell McConnell got their Share also...

What you overlook is that the NRA gets its support from the American people and has more than 5 million members.

The members of the NRA know that the commie libs want to take our guns away. That is the endgame. We need organizations like the NRA to perpetually counterbalance the commie gun grabbers, or else their mission creep will inch forward.

Travis, as a former marine who served his country in time of war, and presumably proficient in handling all types of firearms up to and including automatic and semi-automatic rifles, do you consider it appropriate that military style weapons should be easily accessible to the general public as a right under the second amendment?

Also what do you think of President Trump's latest announcement regarding his intention to support legislation for sensible gun laws?

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776

But Mr. Jefferson, what about people with psychological problems? What do you say about a society that allows people with what we call psychological problems to have guns? Isn't that dangerous? Shouldn't we take guns away?

<"I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, January 30, 1787>

But Mr. Jefferson, surely you and the founding fathers meant the right to bear arms was so people could go hunting, right?

<"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787>

But Mr. Jefferson, I'm sure you haven't thought this through! If we ban guns, then it will make our society safer, like Australia. Right?

<"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776>

Hold on now Mr. Jefferson! You sound like a gun nut! I guess next you're going to tell me that everyone everywhere should be armed at all times, carrying their guns wherever they go?

Let me speak with Mr. Franklin.

Mr. Franklin, with all the school shootings and other shootings in America, I think it's time we amend the constitution and take away gun rights, you know, for safety's sake. What do you think?

<“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759>

You're a gun nut. Let me talk to someone else. Anyone else.

Americans say such silly things, like they need their guns for protection from invaders that want to (lol) enslave them! Have you ever heard such a thing?

<To disarm the people...[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them." - George Mason, referencing advice given to the British Parliament by Pennsylvania governor Sir William Keith, The Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adooption of the Federal Constitution, June 14, 1788>

He must have been watching Alex Jones back in 1788. Hey, I just read the constitution and it says the militia has the right to bear arms! Got you! Who is the militia?

<"I ask who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers." - George Mason, Address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 4, 1788>

Ridiculous! Everyone knows that the constitution gives the military the right to bear arms (?)

Does anyone really think that if Americans are disarmed that "the gov't" is going to "get them"? Come on!

<"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops." - Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787>

Look, you founding fathers are idiots. Our argument nowadays in 2018 is that we <need> amend the gun rights! We <need> to. The children are saying so! Something <must> be done! It <must>! The <time has come> and something <must> be done!

<"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves." - William Pitt (the Younger), Speech in the House of Commons, November 18, 1783>

I'm not buying any of this. I'm a cuck and I want you to be one too! Look, the constitution plainly says the militia. Who is that?

<“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them." - Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18, January 25, 1788>

Where did Americans get the idea that the founding fathers wanted the people armed to the point where they could be equally armed against the gov't forces, the military? Surely they didn't mean that!

<"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them." - Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, 1833>

Mr. Hamilton, when you founding fathers wrote the constitution, you meant that the people should be able to own one shot muskets, but that we should trust and depend on our army to do the heavy lifting. Therefore, the people were not meant to have weapons that could rival the military, right?

<"[I]f circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist." - Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28, January 10, 1788>

The founding fathers wanted all Americans to have guns and considered it their <duty> to not only be armed <at all times> but to be <trained and disciplined> in the use of arms. The main reasons were, aside from self defense, to be able to defeat the American army should a tyrant use it to take liberty from the people.

We all know that we can't stand up to the US army, should the need arise, with toy guns. The spirit of the constitution is that the right to bear arms is mean to give the free people of America the ability to defeat its own army!

The founding fathers make clear that anyone who trades a freedom for some safety deserves neither.

The US government doesn't need to take away the right of Americans to own guns, Washington effortlessly controls its peoples without a shot being fired.

And the corporate owned media does an outstanding job in making that a reality.
