Summations Only

Hi Theo, It takes 1 second to change a magazine. If I am firing at you with my 30.06 you will be past 100 yards from me and at that distance it makes no difference how fast you can run. I can reload and fire before you cover 15 yards.But if you are marching down my street I am not going to shoot you just because you are on my street. But when you come across the sidewalk you are within 10 yards or 30 feet from my front door. That makes a lot of difference in how much amunition I might need.God Bless,

Proving once again all you are is bluster.

You do realize laws have changed since 1792. Your definition does not come from the Constitution but from laws passed in 1792. One of those laws

quote:

---

provided for the authority of the president to call out the militias of the several states, "whenever the United States shall be invaded, or be in imminent danger of invasion from any foreign nation or Indian tribe."[3] The law also authorized the President to call the militias into Federal service "whenever the laws of the United States shall be opposed or the execution thereof obstructed, in any state, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by this act".[4] This provision likely referred to uprisings such as Shays' Rebellion. The president's authority in both cases was to expire after two years.

So you actually seem to be advocating the nullification of US laws and sedition.

Nonsense.

Thanks Theodoric. This is exactly what ICANT is complaining happened in Alabama. Sounds like the President's actions in Alabama were proper according to that 1792 law.

What is the manufacturer and model of this rifle? How quickly can you fire a 30 round mag and stay on target? Bullshit. It takes that long just to chamber the first round.

I imagine it would look something like the Great Depression, or perhaps Germany after WWI. You know...historical examples of real financial meltdowns.Neither of which resemble the bizarre survivalist fantasy in your head, where violent gangs roam the streets hunting innocent people in large numbers.

The juxtaposition of the "God Bless" and the preceding statements just makes me shake my head. I'm sure you read your Bible but do you pay any attention to what Jesus actually says?
Try the beatitudes or maybe His statement that"he who lives by the sword dies by the sword" just for starters.

They know Jesus meant well, but they prefer to do what they think Jesus would do if he were in possession of all the facts.I call these folks "Old Testament Christians"--Prosperity Christians, Death Penalty Christians, etc.What Jesus required is hard...too hard. It's easier to stick with an eye for an eye, and to keep throwing stones

I have to wonder what kind of Christianity doesn't at least make an attempt to follow Christ. It seems that they simply make Him up in their own image which involves a mixture of the Bible, their nationalism, their politics and their sense of wanting to belong to an identifiable group.All of this requires a total misuse and understanding of the Scriptures that we call the Bible. It is, IMHO, important to read and understand the OT in order to understand who Jesus was and what He was about in His Jewish context, but to in order to understand what God was doing in the OT we have to look at it through the lens of Jesus.

Hi Theo, And if you had read a couple of paragraphs down you would find that the 2 Militia Acts along with their 2 amendments were done away with in 1903.

quote:

---

They were replaced by the Militia Act of 1903, which established the United States National Guard as the chief body of organized military reserves in the United States.

---

You do realize the Militia Acts of 1792 were a pair of statutes enacted by the second United States Congress in 1792. They were not and never have been a part of the Constitution as well as the act of 1903.But when the National Guard was formed all Militia's were replaced , leaving the States without Militia's.Now can you name me one State that has a Militia that is composed of all men from 18 to 45 years old that meets twice a year for training?God Bless,

Are you really this dense?You are destroying your own arguments. As you stated previously in this same post, this was replaced by the militia act of 1903. The definition you use is no longer legally valid. Yes, do you?Your definition is not in the Constitution so what is your point? How could I name something that by definition does not exist?Edited by Theodoric, : own not won

Hi No, What is nonsense is that you keep telling me the National Guard is the State's Militia's, therefore the State's do not need a Militia. That is the same as the Fox guarding the hen house.But if it is just nonsence you should be able to name at least 1 State that has a Militia that is composed of all the men 18 to 45 years old that meets twice a year for training. There are armed Citizens in several State's that meet many times each year for training. So Militia's do exist they just are not sanctioned by anyone other than the people which the government is supposed to be the servant of. You and others here seem to think the government is "of the goverment, by the government, and for the government. Which is not what the Constitution says. The government has no authority to do anything that the people do not allow them to do, according to the Constitution.God Bless,

Just read that sentence about 5 times and let it sink in.The states DO have a militia.

And the people allowed them to regulate the militia. As shown by the various militia laws.You want militias to exist outside of a legal framework. This is treasonous.
