Socialists and statists steal 60 to 70% of the money I earn and use to support myself and my family, they piss on the Constitution and infringe on our natural rights every fucking chance they get.
That's because we liberal socialists and statists are smarter than you and know how to get you to do work for us, while we sit around and reap the fruits of your labor.
And don't worry you will fucking put up with it forever. That's how life works: the powerful gets to control the weak.
Maybe in your next life you'll figure out how to be stronger.
How is that any sort of legitimate fight against a government?
Because civilians have always been a target in war - hiroshima, etc. You do what you need to do to achieve your objective, including killing civilians.
War has no higher authority to police its combatants.
War has no rules, only guidelines.
The only people that say war has rules, are those that try to legitimize and promote it.
"It's ok.. we won't deliberately kill sweet innocent people.. we will only kill bad guys.. so please support this war."
Sorry, but soldiers need to understand that if government told them to shoot a child in the back of the head, they're supposed to do that. This is the kind of decision they will face when they are about to lose a war, where desperation causes rules to turn to guidelines. You think the guy that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima didn't know they were targeting kids? And yet he was completely fine with it.
Given that, why aren't you out killing people (LAPD/civilians/etc) to fight government tyranny along with this guy?
Do you want your wars to be safe and easy? Maybe they could put a "Bad Guy" sign to help you find "legitimate" targets?
Really, 2nd amendment supporters are all pussies. Straight-up 100% pussies, no beating around that fact. Christopher Dorner called them out on that.
These dipshit jackholes can talk all they want about fighting government tyranny, but when it interferes with their Starcraft tournament or American Idol, well.. lol
You're implying that you would be along for the fight if he went ahead and shot his police peers instead?
Besides, civilians are always targeted during war. That's why we bombed Hiroshima. There actually isn't any rule for war, there are only guidelines. That is because war does not have a higher policing authority.
So, why aren't you out fighting government tyranny?
Does government tyranny need to affect you directly to fight back? Or should victims of tyranny be the only ones that should fight tyranny?
Here's your government tyranny: Corrupt police railroading a cop that tried to expose their corruption, but because the law enforcement itself was corrupt, he uses 2nd amendment solutions.
Are all the gun-nuts going to start shooting the LAPD now? Why not? Are you for or against government tyranny?
Would it help if he was white?
Or are all the freedom-loving libertarians actually complete pussies, and only want to have 2nd amendment rights not to fight tyranny, but to keep an artificial sense of security for themselves by thinking they can fight a government armed with nuclear missiles and Hellfire-equipped drones?
Really, you're not doing a good job of promoting the 2nd amendment if you're not actually using it to fight tyranny. Might as well get rid of it, since you don't need it.
since that's the reason we have a disproportionate representation of Iowa in our national conversation.
It unfortunately values certain voters more than others, which can be fine in some situations (meritocracy? academic achievements?) but not in the current system, where being a resident of Iowa gives you extra power.
We really need a better system that translates values to political action, as well as questioning the values themselves.
If they don't want to teach evolution, and they're looking for another "theory", well... =^D
Meanwhile, I'm always amused that people usually end up choosing the religion that they're born with. Of the thousands or millions of religions available in this world, you think the One-True-Religion is the one you happened to be born under? WHAT A COINCIDENCE!
Never listen to a philosophical arguments from a person that follows the religion they were born under, because you know they came to it not through intellectual analysis, but through pure laziness.
Not sure why "drones" are different from "NOT drones"?
What causes all the junior McVeighs & Weavers here on Slashdot to fear drone monitoring & strikes, when government can monitor and kill you in any number of other ways?
How about just driving a van up to your house with a SWAT team?
Where is the fear of SWAT teams?
Seriously, you guys need to train yourself to fear things that are actually going to kill you.
This is why we liberals call you libertarians dumbasses, because you haven't done the calculation on what will actually kill you, because you are emotional women, and the result is you fear things that will never affect you, and ignore things that do affect you. I guess you have a right to be emotional, though.
I personally fear swimming pools, cars, trans-fat, and guns, and couldn't care less about drones.
But man all you redneck libertarians go apeshit about drones. You do things like ban them, when you should be banning swimming pools, cars, trans-fat, and guns first.
"ABOUT BLOODY TIME WE BAN TRANS-FAT!" no libertarian has ever said.
Also, another quick pro-tip from us rational people to you emotional people: you should pay your high-interest credit cards first before you pay off any lower-interest loans.
obey the government, and work within the system to gain power. Don't bother trying to overthrow the Matrix.
The US Government, like all governments, has the exact same power structure as any other government, and that is: the strong get to rule over the weak.
You freedom-loving libertarians need to understand this concept. It really is a flaw among you libertarians to think that you somehow live in a "free" country. No, you do NOT live in a free country. You never have. Try breaking a law, and see how much freedom you have.
You're better off accepting that you have no power, rather than thinking you have any sort of power under a democracy. The key is, if you accepted how powerless you were, you would form different methods of gaining power, instead of through silly methods such as through the 2nd amendment, which was designed to help government control you...
Nobody at this point actually thinks their pathetic handgun is going to protect them against tyranny by a government armed with SWAT teams, drones, and nuclear missiles, do they? And their power was actually demonstrated via a civil war where Gen. Sherman burnt down half the south to clear out the rebellious traitors..
It really is shameful that Americans are taught that they have any sort of power, and it's sad seeing them come to the conclusion that they actually don't. The "freedom"-loving libertarian's ego is apparently the hardest thing to destroy, but it must be destroyed for them to actually gain real freedom and power.
Again, we have to make sure people understand that American do NOT have freedom, and that any attempt to make it look that way is the powerful attempting to control the weak by giving the weak an illusion of power.
Phillip K Dick had ideas for all sorts of crazy sci-fi cameras, including those that can see around objects.
My favorite camera of his are his instant cameras that show what's going to happen an hour into the future. "Well the private detective just took a shot of us and saw us having sex in the future, so we might as well have sex." (from Clans of the Alphane moon)
International students are the ones that are paying full price for our universities, and they're the ones that keep our universities funded.
Universities court international students like it was nobody else's business.
A good part of the US GDP can be traced to actually selling higher-level education to international students. Consider that each international student brings in $50k+ to the US GDP, and multiply that by the number of students per year. It's easily a bigger industry than Hollywood.
I'm surprised that Government doesn't allow more sales of education to international students. Our economy could use that money.
Foreign money really does grow an economy. Consider also that in the 90's, the immigration door was wide open. Millions of people came to America. Now consider that each one needs to buy a house, at $100k+ each... you could pretty much explain the incredible GDP growth back in the 90's by our open border policy back then, and you saw how it hit our economy when we closed the borders after 9/11.
NYC? This is NYS. Also I don't think your propane joke/troll is going to win you many arguments.
Doesn't matter to all the junior McVeighs here on Slashdot. They think it's ok to bomb the Federal Government to fight for gun rights because they mistakenly think America is a free country. Talk to any gun-lover, and they think it's perfectly fine to be a traitor if they don't get what they want. They're pretty much the whiny crybabies media makes them out to be. Sorry, but you aren't actually allowed to treason against government, tyrannical or not. Did you know that Article 3, Section 3 of the US constitution prohibits treason? Too bad haha!
Pro-tip: Government will always your tyrannical ruler. Your libertarianism comes from the mistaken trainings you had while growing up, where you were incorrectly taught that this was a free country. We have to LOL at the dumbasses that think they have freedom in a country with millions of laws on its books. There are fewer laws in North Korea!
These libertarians need to understand that, no, America is NOT a free country, they cannot do what they want. This is something these teenage McVeighs never grew out of, as they incorrectly grew up thinking they live independently of government.
And, they mistakenly think the 2nd amendment says gun ownership is a natural right, instead of a freedom-limiting hack used to get southern states to ratify the constitution by allowing them Militias to enforce slavery.
Yes, that means anyone that supports the 2nd amendment supports slavery.
America needs to immediately confiscate all guns, not just for obvious safety purposes, but to make sure people understand that government rules them.
Additionally, "Freedom" itself is not never the goal. No one cares about "Freedom". They only care about what they achieve with that "freedom", and if they get what they want without "freedom" then that's equivalent to "freedom".
This is why big-government socialism will always work, because everyone gets things they actually want. You don't need "freedom" to choose health care, when you can actually just get health care.
Sorry folks, but might rules, and the US government has the most might. You have to stop crying about "might makes right". Fair or not, it is unfortunately how life works. But, my guess is that you actually agree with "might makes right", since the people that want guns wants their little bit of might to make their own right little section of the world for them.
Sucks for them that they had to live under a government with even more might.. haha!
All the junior McVeigh's here are willing to fight for their freedom.
We liberals know that there is no such thing as "freedom".
The US has always been like any other system of government, which follow the exact power structure everywhere else, and that is: those with power will always rule those without.
Guns are there to provide you with this false illusion of individual freedom, which smart people know you do not have.
The powerful give you the illusion of freedom, so that you will work harder for their profit.
Basically, owning a gun is saying you fell for that.
Don't believe me? Try doing something illegal, and let me know how much "freedom" you actually have.

You sound like a victim.
No point visiting anywhere since you can do video conferences tailored to particular elector types, rather than regions.
There's no value in video conferencing.
Physical presence is several thousand times more powerful than media for influence.
actually it does mean only the coasts will be visited because pols will only visit densely populated areas to get the most bang for their buck.
no point visiting Nebraska to give a speech to 500 people when you can visit New York to give a speech to 50,000 people.
No. They're supposed to disobey an unlawful order.
No. Soldiers are supposed to win. That is their job.

The best part of the Battle of Athens is when the citizens used their own guns to overthrow the US government.
See, libertarians were right!
Even accepting your thesis, the handgun enables certain resistance tactics which are far more difficult without it.
no, it never has.
For every libertarian with a handgun, there is a government supporter with a handgun.
