    This is about a clear a demonstration as can be of why they 2A is there.
    Please explain further..... "Local armory" would be a govt army base? Army reserve base? Agreed that this is the reason citizens should be able to match the weopons on the govt.

    Yeah but this happened back in the day when we didn't have trust worthy elected officials like the Obama administration and the modern Utopian socialist party.

    Probably a National Guard Armory.

    That's essentially the same reason the original New York State "Sullivan Law" was passed. To keep guns out of the hands of hte new immigrants filling NY's tenements.

    Gentlemen,

    I, also was not knowledgeable of this event. Regardless, I do not see a relevance to "our" dilemma.

    Per the video, Cantrell was engaged in vote tampering with the aid of his county Sheriff.

    In contrast, we have a prick that was elected by the majority of the popular and electoral vote.

    A majority of the American people do not agree with the way "we" think things should be. That is just a result of our total social decay.

    While I believe that votes were tampered with, I do not believe that those votes changed the outcome of the election.

    Again, as a bit of a history buff, I found the video interesting but again really not relevant to out situation.

    Remember, I'm with you, but as per the Constitution, we're at the stinky end of the stick. FOR NOW.

    STAY STRONG.

    KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY.

    Really?

    We are being attacked by people saying the 2A is antiquated and no longer needed. This bit of hidden history is precisely why the Founders included it in the Bill of Rights and can counter every question of "why do people need AR's?" or "why do people need 30 round magazines?".

    If you do not see the relevance of this video to our position today, then I am at a loss and cannot help you.
    The USA is now a banana republic. Only without the bananas....or the Republic.

    I don't agree. I don't think we can draw any consistent conclusions about the American people based upon the elections of 2012.

    Allegedly twelve percent of the TEA Party membership voted for Obama. That's one in eight of them. Anyone bother to ask them why? Did they like Obama or as so many of my Conservative friends have said to me, "Let it burn!".

    Yeap. They want Obama to trash it all so that "we can get it over with".


    The majority of the people who voted in the Election of 2012 might not have paid any attention to the gun issue. Aside Fast and Furious and letting the DOJ greenlight ATF to confiscate firearms under "Civil Forfeiture" for some drug offenses what did Obama DO?

    Did he push the Congress to pass that paperwork requirement for "borderline States" who were "exporting guns to mexico"? Did Obama push to get the UN Small Arms treaty passed before the Election?

    Apparently he or his handlers fear us, don't they? Fear that we'll derail their schemes and plans.

    Be honest about Obama - Compare how he was before the election to how he is now, after the Newtown tragedy, he's become a pretty activist gun control person.



    Primaries and the general election have consequences. Now we have to play the hand that we're dealt.

    That doesn't meant we have to draw conclusions about the people of this country that might not be accurate.

    Local Armory would have been National Guard or (some states have them) State Guard/Militia. New York, for example, does have a New York State Guard, which is not part of the National Guard arrangement.

    Yo, SIPA1,

    Are you shittin me. You send me a "bad boy comment": "Are you on our side??????" Not one question mark, but six.

    What are you, in freakin kindergarten. You picking dodge ball teams? Or, is that a line from a Lindsay Lohan movie.

    Do you think you've cornered the market on support for the 2A with your recently discovered You Tube video? You can push your You Tube video around the internet for the rest of your life and you'll not equal what I've done to support the 2A in my life.

    So, how has your ("half inch bold print spread the word") social media revolution going. Really, how many antis have you converted, tens, hundreds, thousands? The multiplier effect sweeping the nation?

    One week later and your "silver bullet" video is on page five. What, no sticky. What's planned for next week, pushing the Piers Morgan deportation?

    Read what I wrote kid, "relevance to our dilemma". What is our dilemma? We have a socialist gun grabber that was elected by a majority that is more concerned for their food stamps and free phones than the 2A or anything else.

    Seriously dude, you've actually been out getting some from that group to view your video? Then what, bubble above head with script: "Oh, the ballots, 1946, the guns, I can see clearly now"?

    Your video is relative to the 2A, but do you think they get that? Get real, they're fucked up. They're fucked up bad. They're fucked up so bad they don't know they are fucked up. And you plan on getting converts from this group with a You Tube video. Drop a PM from time to time, let me know how that works out. I thought I was being kind. I wanted to tell you you're wasting you time.

    Dude, a couple months back someone else was all in a twist over the Khalidi tape. I said the same thing and you sent points. That is not very consistent.

    I'll give you an E for effort. I read your stuff a lot and I just get the impression that you're all over the place. You're seeing "nips in the wire" every way you turn. You're like the bull that runs down to the cows. Know the rest of that story?

    Hey man, I'm sorry if I rained on your parade. Don't take this personal, none of your fans will read this, everyone is done with the MUST SEE! article. Also, trust me, there is nothing with which I need your help in this world.

    Pardon my french.
    Red reps away, I do lose sleep over that.
    No further replies from me.
    Careful now, watch out, I'm infamous around these parts.
