One must understand that when the Constitution was written, ratified and adopted, there was no standing army, and we were a nation of DEFENSIVE war, requiring the CONGRESS to declare war, and calling forth the militia.
I don't care. where in the constitution does it say that. Because I could just say in return, that they were thinking of spreading their freedoms around the world by force. I don't really think that, but it could be true for all I know.

The War Powers and Emergency Act, unconstitutionally stripped Congress of their control over War Powers.
I've asked you about this before. Which war powers and emergency act?

Yes, if they meet specific ownership requirements (today).
This is going to be fun.
RPGs for citizens? One, why do I need a backround check to see if I'm crazy, wanting the RPG in the first place is a good heads up.

Second, why does someone need an RPG except to blow things up? I don't think we should make it easier for a citizen to fire explosives into buildings on a whim.

Third I don't think the sales of RPG's should be made in America, simply because it makes it so much easier to get one and carry it around (it would be legal!). An RPG's destructive power out weighs it's usefulness in my opinion.

Why do you think the RPG should be legal?

False claim, as well as unsupported.
You said it is illegal to use force against a person. If I murder someone, I go to jail. My point was, by the time I murder someone, someone is dead. The laws don't bring back the person, only prevention can do that. This doesn't need to be supported, this is common sense, unless you can find a law that brings the dead back to life.
For me, gun control is like washing your hands before eating, it makes it harder to get sick.

The right to bear arms is not only a defense against crime, but against tyrannical government, whether it be foreign government, or domestic government.

Don't make the false assumption that the only purpose to keep and bear arms is to defend against individual criminals.
God, don't make the same mistake millions of insurgents make all the time. They rarely win against tyrannical government with the guns they have, and the ones that do have a generally unstable government.The Revolution wasn't made possible because we were rebelling with our guns, it was because the French helped out.

Normally, what happens when a group beats tyranny with violence, the most violent people keep the power.

Example? Africa's freedom fighters, Mexican revolution after revolution. Chinese revolution. French revolution. Etc.

In these days, the most effective way to beat the crap out of a tyrannical government is the Martin Luther King Jr way. With mass media, and humanitarian groups, it is so much better to ignore the gun and go for peaceful protests.


Don't forget this is all in good fun!
