    Love the “military” argument. LOL, like it’s some kinda gotcha.

    American’s have always had equivalent, and usually better, rifles than the military. History lesson. Title sucks, and that premise isn’t asked or answered. Also, heard the presenter is a right-winger. Still, nothing he’s saying in untrue or a half-truth.

    And what do we think the guys who put that in there would think if someone had said, “Nah. Let 'em have guns, but they gotta be nerfed against the military. We want the cops and military all powerful.” 😆 “Have you not been to any of the previous meetings?!”

      Yup. They literally encouraged people to own and operate private warships that could be used for coastal bombardment. The modern equivalent would be a guided missile cruiser.

      They would probably have LOVED everyone having AR-15s if it were an option 😂

      So an armed citizenry prevents unjustified government violence? I think you’ve skipped a meeting or two.
