• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Interesting history of the NRA

For over 1000 years, since Rome established the feudal system, the majority of the people in Europe were serfs. As serfs they could not own property/land because they belonged to the property. It took a thousand years to get freedoms and rights from aristocrats and the royals. This is the reason the second amendment is in the Bill of Rights. Hell, it was John Locke in 1689, who finally destroyed the myth of the divine right of kings.

The largest mass murders committed are: 70 MILLION murdered by Mao in the China purges, 25 MILLION murdered by Stalin in the Soviet purges, 6 MILLION Jews murdered by Hitler, 2 MILLION murdered by Pol Pot in his purges, tens of thousands murdered in Bosnian genocide, 1 to 2 MILLION murdered in Rwandan genocides, and 500,000 murdered in Aleppo genocide.

What is the common factor? These are all the result of some existing government taking lethal action against a disarmed society.

Facts are facts and those 100+ MILLION unarmed dead at the hands of the various benevolent governments must be remembered for what they were. They were unarmed sheep to be slaughtered. Never be a sheep and do not trust anyone who says that this cannot happen. It has happened for all of human history.


The pot is stirred, your turn................ :roflblack::roflblack:

holly, you forgot to mention all that were killed by god during noah's ark. i don't think guns would have helped much.

In the 21st century it would be a well-armed but unorganized populace going against the most powerful military the world has ever seen. When the White House becomes a dictatorship and turns the military's weapons against its own people, we can take another look at this argument. Until then, it is moot.

Soo what do you do?
Do you throw in the towel; whenever you figure that you can't win?
:shocked: That's worse than sad: it's sad AND it's pitiful! nojoke

Without getting into a discussion of tactics: Do you honestly think that every Officer is going to obey an order that has them firing upon American Citizens?
What about the forward troops? :dontknow:

bob you are right, i can't see all soldiers or police shooting at the public but i also don't think the weapons you legally
own will truly be able to fight our military or police tactical units?
 
Sometimes you just have to fight the fight that's been thrown at you... :dontknow:
I'll let the Pussies worry about the consequences. nojokenojoke

Thanks Bob. You are reinforcing the point I was making about the irrelevance of the 2nd amendment in 21st century America.

In other news..................


It seems the beloved little Parkland students are not very happy about change anymore. A few weeks ago they were happy to be exploited and bused to Washington to protest demanding change, and now these little angels got just what they wanted.

You see, now they are required to carry clear backpacks and now are stating their rights are being taking away. Hey snowflake, you don't like rights being taken away when it effects you, do you ?????

This just made my day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Since you're still a British Subject, and don't seem to want to assimilate: why are you here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_subject

By your own reference, I am NOT a 'British Subject' but rather a British citizen, so why do you insist on using that label?
Currently the term 'British subject' refers, in British nationality law, to a limited class of different people defined by Part IV of the British Nationality Act 1981. Under that Act, two groups of people became "British subjects"; the first were people from the Republic of Ireland born before 1949 who already claimed subject status, and the second covered a number of people who had previously been considered "British subjects without citizenship", and were not considered citizens of any other country.

What makes you say I don't seem to want to assimilate? That's the more interesting assumption I'd like to challenge.

Thirdly, even if I were a British Subject, and if I didn't want to assimilate (whatever that means), what does that have to do with where I choose to live?

From that same source:

"Formerly 'British subject' was used to denote de facto citizenship of the United Kingdom and the British Empire, and until 1949 was used to refer generally to any person born or naturalised in the United Kingdom or the British Empire, including the independent dominions such as Canada and Australia (but not including protectorates, e.g., the Princely states, who had their own separate citizenship status). The term had a more complex interpretation between 1949 and 1983 and the move to independence of many of the colonies, with subject status existing alongside citizenship of an individual country or colony.
The term 'subject' is used rather than 'citizen' because in a monarchy the monarch is the source of authority in whose name all legal power in civil and military law is exercised. The people of a monarchy in former times were regarded as the monarch's subjects who were under certain obligations such as owing allegiance to, and thereby entitled to the protection of, the Crown."

When you try to judge our American Society by your British standards, and impose them upon us: it smells like a very dismissive attitude concerning our values...
