Is that what a 'balance of power' is?

Nah, it's just a popular liberal talking point.

Brewha, I really do like you dude, and I think for the most part you are extremely intelligent, but really? Only an off the wall liberal mind could come up such an illogical analogy.


It's not lacking of logic. You just don't like the conclusion/inference. Actually, you have to agree that the comment is pretty clever and actually funny (if you have a sense of humor like mine). It's got nothing to do with liberal v. conservative. Sometimes a joke is ... just a joke.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I like Brewha too, I do think everybody has to take some things with a grain of salt because its typed here not spoken in person.

At least that's my story when nobody gets my sense of humor......

Merry X-Mas Brewha!

Robert, I was taking a tongue in check jab at his jab. Just like the jabs we take at each other in fun. Brewha is good for for a few laughs and I'd sure miss him if he where to leave. There's very few folk on this board that really get under my skin (and Victor is not one of them). Heck, I even think sharing a smoke with Uncle Rick would be fun.

Thanks for the Christmas wish, and may you and your family have a great Holiday season too.

this isn't about restricting citizens from owning guns or not, it's about the NRA telling the gov't to spend money on training and placing military/police personnel in schools and if that is contrary to NRA members fear of a tyrannical gov't...kinda about that.

Did your son make it home?

It doesn't have to be Federal. Some school districts are already doing this since Newtown.

some districts started many years ago. are you, as an avowed libertarian, totally at ease with it as long as it is not Federal level?

unless I did not hear correctly though, I thought the NRA called for the Federal gov to immediately fund , train, etc. That was the nature of my op, NRA urging on the gov, not really intended to be about gun rights, but this has turned out interesting anyway.

Wrong!
I Googled it. 'Balance of Power' was a 1960's TV episode where the Romulans . . . . .

Ok, wait. Looks like that was 'Balance of Terror'.

So, maybe it is a liberal talking point . . . . . . .

Ironic that now more and more schools are beefing up security, considering adding/training armed personnel, and parents with Service credentials are volunteering to secure.

Wasn't that exactly what the NRA recommended instead of more gun regulations? Wasn't that exactly what everyone was freaking-out about and denouncing the NRA for while running out and buying bullet-proof backpacks?

^7 and 10.

I understand the intent and context of the 18th century thinking/writing. I think Jefferson not only advocated for armed populace, but also something to the effect that a revolution is necessary every couple decades - bloody, if necessary. I just think that the context must be considered differently today.
If not, then shouldn't Timothy McVeigh be lauded as a hero to those who use the quotes above to justify lack of limitations on personal gun ownership?

I sincerely doubt that Jefferson or anyone else quoted in post 10 was advocating the murder of innocent civilians. Regardless of what he claimed his motives were, McVeigh was no more than a cowardly psychopath.

And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

The USA will need to eliminate guns before austerity.
