    The general in question, Stanley McChrystal, is going on record as establishing the position that private citizens of the united states, individuals he chose to enlist in the military to serve and protect, should not legally be able to purchase and own firearms that qualify as being in common use for legitimate purposes, because they make use of a firearms technology development that was in common use and subject to widespread legal ownership long before he was ever even born. Semi-automatic firearms have been in existence and available to the public for twice as long as he has been alive.

    If he is advocating that private citizens not be able to legally purchase and own a commercially available good, and that the united states government should deprive members of the public of their legally owned and acquired property, he is demonstrating a fascist mindset and tendencies, thus rendering his military service career entirely irrelevant and moot.

    Imagine such. A united states citizen with a career in the military, voicing support for constitutional rights held by the public, and being regarded by the united states public as a genius and hero for saying such, rather than telling the people of the united states that they are worthless, should not have any constitutional rights, and should follow the examples of foreign nations. Truly such would be an unfathomable course of action.

    Which means absolutely nothing of relevance.

    A) No he isn't.

    B) You're the one claiming to be the big patriot and great defender of everything American. Guess what, you're not.

    Good that organisation needs to die so we can get actual common sense regulations through and so states that due ban guns will be able to do so with out some force able to help with the financial issues of suing.

    BTW turtle, I've had enough of your "your alleged service" crap. If you think I'm BSing prove it or shut up. You claim to have 25 years in at the department of justice. Ok, find out who I am, run it through the VA, my service is a matter of public record. Because I receive VA compensation, which is taxpayer money, they have to verify it to whoever asks. That's the law. BTW, when you call the VA have my SS# available, that makes it a lot easier for them. There could be several of us with the same name.

    I couldn't care less who you are-what I care about are people who try to whittle away at our rights and use their alleged status as alleged veterans to give some sort of gravitas to their BS opinions and poorly reasoned control freak arguments.

    More comedy from the alleged DOJ super agent.

    Anyone who buys this needs to take a long convalescence. Of course not as long as the person who came up with it. Wow, where was their head at?

    I would say anyone who violated his Oath of Enlistment is worse than a fascist.

    If you where ever in the military, which I beginning to doubt, this is what you swore to and that allegiance doesn't end when you separate from the military.

    "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

    It appears that question has been answered by the post which cause it to be asked, and the answer is a resounding yes.

    What qualifies as "common sense" to one person, may not necessarily qualify as common sense to the next person. How is one supposed to know for certain which proposal actually qualifies, and why does it qualify while others do not?

    How would I have allegedly violated an Oath of enlistment?

    If you were ever in the military?

    Canada's system would be a direct violation of the Second.

    How the duck did an amendment that said it was a right of the state become incorporated under the 14A.

    If you were a real Patriot you would demand the 3A be incorporated since BOR are all perfect

    Actually all Loesch is doing is pointing out media's narrative when it comes to gun owners and the NRA.

    Sorry that is totally incorrect, the USSC has ruled the Second is an individual right, not the right to form a Militia.

    What does a date have to do with a ruling?

    Or do you not understand what a USSC ruling is?

    Go back and read some of your anti-gun posts and it should become quite clear.

    Liberal/conservative justices alike found the militia part only protected, then only with NRA court lobbying by 5-4 it changed.

    In other words I didn't and you have no idea what you're talking about.

    BTW, why don't you tell the Army to cut the good generals retirement pay for failure to support the constitution and see how far you get?
