Weird anti-gun Trolls seem to delight in trashing the 2nd Amendment, the NRA, and the Gun Rights of law abiding U.S. citizens.

what used to be militia is now your state's national guard, which is under the command of your state's governor... and your state guard is subject to call up and command of the president of the united states...

This little exchange is for King's little bro, Larry Brown. It took place right here in the main Double Gun forum. No shortage of "Do as I say... not as I do" in this place:

Pretty sure, in this case, the individual in question really was dead. We all die, Ed . . . although there's a special corner of hell reserved for shady gun dealers.


I do hope there's a special place in hell for hypocrites too.


Well gosh, Keith . . . I thought from the above that you DID bring the second amendment--who supports it and who doesn't--into the discussion. It was quite a ways back, so maybe you just forgot in the interim.

And that quote you attribute to me . . . could you maybe provide a link? I don't remember saying anything contained in it. I do appreciate being quoted accurately.

As for foisting my opinion on you, Keith . . . once more, you've confused yourself into thinking that absolutely EVERYTHING is about you. Nope, it's not. My comment was a GENERAL one, aimed at anyone who talks about support (or lack thereof) for the 2nd Amendment. If the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it. I do notice that you haven't come up with any other form of commitment that equals signing that blank check to Uncle Sam, which veterans do, so you obviously agree with me on that part.


Concerning Ed, I only care where he stands on the 2nd Amendment if and when there's a discussion of the 2nd Amendment. Hey, maybe somebody doesn't hold exactly the same views you do. So what? That's not what's being discussed here. Or what WAS being discussed here. It's rude to insert yourself into a discussion and change the subject because you don't like something about the individual who started the discussion. Stick to the @#$%^ topic! If you want to start a discussion on the 2A, fire away. I'm thinking you don't have the stones to do that because you're afraid Dave will slap your hand . . . so what you do is try to turn any discussion started by Ed (or maybe someone else with whom you don't agree) into a diatribe about how wrong they are on the 2A. Grow up. Learn some manners. And you'd be a happier person if you didn't spend so much time dredging up stuff from discussions that occurred in the past. Let it go.
