Wow. After reviewing the information connected with this extremist, I now understand a lot more where some of these attitiudes come from regarding "Constitutionalists" and governmental overthrow. What a bunch of angry crackpots. This is heavy-duty sh!t these people are advocating perpetrating. They are as bad for the real gun rights movement as Beck and Palin are for the GOP!

The more of these off-the-chain wingnuts I learn of, the more I am sure I have chosen the right path for myself.

Man I feel bad for the bad press these headcases bring to non-extremist but still adamant right wingers like Quik. It's got to be like living with an insane ex-convict brother (with guns!) in your house!

prime word in your post was extremeist. they are around on both sides of the fence. just beause they are right wing wacko's doesnt mean you should feel better about calling yoruself a moderate. that would be like saying no one should go to church or have beliefs of god because some priest raped a kid. or that your kid should never go to school because some teacher went berserk one day and killed a student. there are wacko's all over the place in every profession and every part of society we live in. you can't judge a groups reasoning based on a crackpot here and there.

Let me tell one thing. (IF) the government decides to go against their own population, do you honestly think your fire arms will actually stop them? A country that has enough nukes to destroy the world 10x over and here you are with your deer hunting gun and you feeling like your balls are the size of bowling balls because you own such a weapon. Seriously, YOU WILL LOOSE. Yes, population can bring down the government, but thats when your very own strong military is not against you.
Do you really think the US would use Nukes against their own country?

How's our superior firepower doing in Afghanistan? They seem to be holding up pretty well considering the limited arsenals they are using. Plus look at the distribution and population of the US. It would be a logistical nightmare for the Armed forces to wage a war here with any chance of success.

I'm not advocating an armed conflict with the government. I'm just saying that change is coming at some point or another and armed conflict is one possible outcome and I plan to be ready if that is the case. I may not have a chance in hell of affecting the outcome, but I will hole up and protect what I have to keep my family safe.

Don't be an ass. If you associate your "fighting" with whack jobs like the insane maniacs in question here, then you are not fighting for MY rights. Frankly, I don't really know just WHAT you 'd be "fighting" for, but, as you offered earlier...you apparently need bad-ass weapons to do it. LOL, as if "armed resistance" is the key to the change you seek.

FACT.

A far superior military has never won against an enemy that has had the 'WANT' to win.

Unless that military has the hart to kill a lot of people; man, woman, and child a like.

And some how, I don’t see a group of people, that swore a oath the constitution, and its bill of rights, firing on us Citizens…. At least all the "wing nuts" that I knew….

Ergo, why DOD cops are taking over for MP’s... No oath, just a job.
Kind of like when Rome out sourced its garrison forces to the very people who sacked Rome itself… BUT that is a whole other topic.

You're lost. That's all I can say. They've put a brain-eating worm into your ear. Like I said earlier...it must suck in there. To even associate yourself with this paranoid madness shows just how far they've dragged you down.

You've been programmed to hate, disbelieve, and suspect everything in your world, and you've bought into all of it. How sad.

It's mildly entertaining, and simultaneously pitiful, that of all these quotes you so vehemently believe in, the men who wrote all but one were born three centuries ago, and the only one who is from the last 100 years is, at best, a strange and odd person.

I might as well debate religion in today's society by using examples from the Crusades, backed up by a quote from David Koresh. It would be just as relevant.

If you could present some quotes or information that is derived from intellectual sources in the context of today's society and world, I could give it some weight. I'd ask you to try, however...I fear it's a fool's mission. But if you succeed, please present same here for discussion.

It isn't, why? After it is all said and done there wouldn't be a US population any more, it would be a ripe scenario for another country to invade and place their flag on this land. Which is why IT WILL NOT happen. With that being said, having military grade weapon (as some of you want) is paranoia at best, you can get your point across (personal security) with a 9mm. Shooting 100 rounds in 10 seconds, that's when we have to worry about you.

If the time comes where guns are needed to defend ourselves. I'll have mine and the anti gun people will be @!#$ out of luck. better to be prepared than not. I'll not waste my ammunition on protecting you since you made your choice.

Plus, every one of my guns serves a purpose other than killing people, some sport, some hunting, some self defense, why should there be anything preventing me from having them? Now that I think about it, I believe I'm gonna purchase an AK and an AR (just in case), Maybe a .50 cal BMG so I can blast things at 1 mile ranges.

"The tank, the B-52, the fighter-bomber, the state-controlled police and military are the weapons of dictatorship. The rifle is the weapon of democracy. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military. The hired servants of our rulers. Only the government-and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws." (Edward Abbey, "The Right to Arms," Abbey's Road [New York, 1979])

It's mildly entertaining, and simultaneously pitiful, that of all these quotes you so vehemently believe in, the men who wrote all but one were born three centuries ago, and the only one who is from the last 100 years is, at best, a strange and odd person.

I might as well debate religion in today's society by using examples from the Crusades, backed up by a quote from David Koresh. It would be just as relevant.

If you could present some quotes or information that is derived from intellectual sources in the context of today's society and world, I could give it some weight. I'd ask you to try, however...I fear it's a fool's mission. But if you succeed, please present same here for discussion.
The entire constitution was written a couple of centuries ago. Are you suggesting we scrap it in favor of a more updated version? The constitution works because there was some forethought put into it. It's no less applicable today than when it was written (excluding the VERY few amendments.

There are few relevant quotes today because the same ones still apply. It simply works as written.

What is humorous is that you ignorantly disregard the opinions of some of the greatest people in history, the very ones who formed the rules that govern this land we live in. You, are the pathetic whiny bastard who think people can't be responsible with firearms . Why don't you take the time and try to come up with a constitution that is a thousandth as great as the one we currently abide by and the one that does not restrict firearm ownership in any way.

Yikes. I thought I was done, then you came back at me with an outright insult which, of course, ends all attempts at intelligent discourse. So...

Fcuk you. Go shoot something, hopefully something living so you can cum in your pants a little bit, you rotten, violent waste of human flesh.

There! Didn't that feel nice? lol. Fair is fair. So maybe I upped the game a little, but you wrote the rules, and I think I stayed within them.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Oh, by the way, a55hole...I am responsible with my firearms, as are most of this great nation's citizens who own them. You and your nutjob domestic terrorist heroes are the ones we all fear. Enjoy your descent into hell...

What domestic terrorist hero have I embraced or condoned. Which statement did I make that you've concluded that I'm anything but a law abiding citizen who happens to enjoy firearms and likes to plan for the worst and hope for the best? How many times have you called me crazy, nutjob, freak, right wing wingnut, wackjob or other insulting terms? Compare those with the names I've called you and then look deeply in the mirror and see who is paranoid.

You're the one who has to result to name calling and insults to try and make everyone who doesn't follow your line seem crazy. You have your opinion and I have mine, don't insult me and I won't insult you, dont @!#$ with me and I won't @!#$ with you, but if you insist, send a pm and I'll let you know where to find me

Nah. Never called you a name, nor used any of those adjectives towards you. If you lumped yourself in with the crazy, whack job, freaky extremists described and discussed in this thread, that's your own doing, not mine. However, I will admit the implication that you are the man in my sig, so the wingnut term does stick, especially now that you took the gloves off.

If you are denying ANY influence from the domestic terrorists shown in this thread, then we are all just left to wonder why your musings echo theirs..

You came here looking for a fight...acting hurt and confused now is LAME.

Oh, and calling me out. How cute. Will you be bringing guns? Let's skip the PM. After school, in the playground under the swings. Right where the bullies used to grind your face in the sand.
How childish.

One would hope. It was going pretty good until now.

Fact is, it's not a discussable situation with people like this. They are convinced that the world is wrong, and they are right. He didn't even pay enough attention to see that I am a gun owner too.
