Good luck getting American soldiers to use those weapons on their own friends and families.
wow, so last century. Today the battles are fought in banks and boardrooms, the victims are even more numerous. None of your projectile weapons will protect you and your job and your money. But feel free to participate in the latest marketing campaign.
"I would immediately get every obstacle out of the way for our export of oil and gas, and I would begin drilling in every possible conceivable place within our territories in order to have production we can supply Europe with if it’s interrupted from Ukraine."
Here is a "libertarian" suggesting government involvement in the market on a scale never before attempted. He's the exact opposite of a "libertarian"
I think we should establish privacy as a Constitutionally protected right under the 9th Amendment.
it would an awful lot easier if the supreme court declared that your "effects" include your personal data, in which case we already have an amendment for that.

if personal intelligence is constant, then the smarter the device, the dumber the person
it means whatever five judges want it to mean
they can change their mind tomorrow
meaning whatever five wealthy people want it to mean
Where? I don't remember seeing the word "slave" in the constitution anywhere,
do you remember seeing the part where the government says that it's legal to do stuff that it doesn't mention?
the supreme court could rule tomorrow that "well regulated" means "with mustard and mayonaisse"
there are five people on the supreme court that make words mean whatever they want them to mean
maybe you can ask them what the word "limited" means when it comes to copyright
it means what five people want it to mean and I'm not one of them
marketing for useless trinkets that won't begin to protect you from your real enemies
the only weapons those nations had to face the most powerful army that ever existed in the history of planet earth.....was those same said rifles.
wow, so much ignorance. The ONLY weapons? Do you realize that the human spirit is the most powerful weapon?
Do you really think that arms will defend you from the attacks of the government and corporations? You're just falling for marketing hype.

If the Police can have it....then so should we the citizenry....
you mean the ability to murder without consequence?
the constitution allowed for slavery and that was the intention of the founders, too
shall we respect all their wishes or are we cherry-picking here?
slavery used to be constitutional, but that's an inconvenient fact to people who argue that the constitution is perfect just as it is
Prohibition used to be constitutional.
Was it right when it was constitutional?
However, U.S. federal and State laws have been eroding this constitutional right for decades
There once was a constitutional right to own slaves, are you making the argument that the constitution is not to be changed?
Yes. Further, the point of the 2nd amendment was to equip the population to throw off tyranny.
so according to you, individuals should be able to purchase and use nuclear weapons without a permit
REMOVING government obstacles against businesses is libertarian.
tell us more about how it's libertarian to use government power to gain personal freedom
The very nature of rights is that they CANNOT be taken away by some entity, government or else, just because it doesn't suit them.
this would be news to people who have been unjustly imprisoned, maybe they just need an attitude adjustment?
The left is "splintered" too.
how many people on the left are calling for increased government surveillance?
The only "libertarian" candidate is Rand Paul

Can you please define what you would consider as a "Republican":
if you call yourself a republican, you're a republican
if you are a registered republican, you're a republican
it's not like a birthright or a club, it's just a box you check on a form
The 4th amendment still applies regardless of your stance on privacy.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects"
sorry it says nothing about digital data that others accumulate about you.
I think we should establish privacy as a Constitutionally protected right under the 9th Amendment.
it would an awful lot easier if the supreme court declared that your "effects" include your personal data, in which case we already have an amendment for that.
just the republicans and democrats too. I'm voting for Rand!
hey if you can't win the election fair and square, just buy yourself a new one
