Militias, guns, yada, yada
So, Paul Helmke of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership yammers on about the mythology of the militia clause of the second amendment. He gets thrashed, of course, so he decides to repeat himself. Because, you know, if no one believes you the first time, repeating the same lie might help. Anyway, I’d ordinarily address his foolishness but Sebastian already did. Twice.

Reading helmke and other liberal posters on the HP makes me smirk; they seem to take the position that because the militia doesn’t exist in their mind, there is no right to personal ownership of firearms.
That is a rather idiotic position to take on their part because they have no idea what that would entail if the militia was formed. Imagine, a group of all the able body, and minded, enforcing the Constitution.
Just think of all the nasty laws which would be rendered obsolete – thanks for giving me something to fantasize at work about Paul!

“What is the purpose of the militia? The Constitution says it is “to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.” It is confusing, therefore, to conclude that the Second Amendment – with its explicit militia purpose – might somehow provide individuals the right to mount an armed insurrection against the very law and order that the militia was designed to defend.
There is no Second Amendment right to treason”
Y’know, I didnt even think about this until I saw that paragraph posted by Wormtongue Helmke but it seems like the anti’s goal to disarm us is so that they can have their communist nanny state without true Americans being able to do anything about it. Which is exactly why the founding fathers created the 2nd ammendment, to prevent that from happening.

Able bodied and minded sure does rule out the libs dont it? You damn sure would’nt see any of those worthless culls in any militia.
