2A and the Truth

The letter we got was an accusation of MDS being a nest of white supremacy and militia activity and that we are being reported to "the authorities" as a hate site.

Y'all know how I roll on this stuff.

Once we do our homework, we'll be transparent as always to the extent that we can.

My uncle went ashore in the first wave on Omaha Beach...he was a platoon leader. The only time he ever talked about it was when I asked if he saw "Saving Private Ryan". He looked at me and simply said "That's just Hollywood" and it was obvious that's all he would say on the subject. He did talk about the funnier parts of Army life during the war...he had been in ROTC in high school and when in basic training the Army wanted him to go to officer's school. He said he had already seen the stats on the life expectancy of junior officers in combat so he declined. He then said that about midnight that night when he was cleaning latrines with a toothbrush he decided to rethink that position.

The last time I saw my uncle before he passed away (in his 90s) he suddenly started talking about his combat experiences...the hedgerows and when he was seriously wounded outside of St. Lo and invalided out of combat.

When he was wounded it was thought he wouldn't make it so all his personal belongings were sent back to the states. He was unconscious for days...a Catholic Chaplain didn't know what to say over my uncle since he was a Jew as far as last rites. There was a Jewish medic there who volunteered to say Kaddish...or Mourners prayer...over my uncle. As he was saying it my uncle awoke and finished saying it and recovered. Some years later a different uncle was visiting NY for business and while there another said to him he knew someone with the same last name...my Mom's family has a very unique last name...never heard it anywhere else...it turned out to be the medic that saved my other uncle! Strange things happen.

All four of my mom's brothers served during the war and all saw combat...two in Europe and two in the Pacific...and all four came home. Her family was very fortunate. Only one is left now...and he's another who doesn't talk about his wartime experiences other than he was a loader on a 40mm mount on a destroyer. In a letter to my mom I found after she passed I found he wrote his destroyer was in Tokyo Bay for the surrender and was anchored by a half-sunken Japanese battleship.

While it's understandable veterans don't like to talk about what they experienced...we've lost a lot of history due to that unwillingness to open up. Such men should be revered and I'm afraid that is lost on many today.

Before I get into this, I am an Army Vet, I've been around the world 5x, and been on a two way range a few times. I'm an NRA member, and have enough guns to be happy, and I love shooting.

I've lurked around this board for years, never commenting simply cause the temperament of this forum. For the most part, this forum promotes the type of paranoia, and fear mongering that spreads and perpetuates racism, and bigotry in America.

The 2nd Amendment in truth was not speaking to every Tom, Dick, and Harry having a firearm. It spoke specifically of a Well Regulated Militia, and their right to keep and bear arms. The "Well Regulated" is referring to properly trained, supplied, and disciplined citizens. The "Militia", a group of citizen "soldiers" that can fill the ranks of our regular army. The right of the people, to keep and bear arms, simply refers to those people who are in the militia, with the idea of protecting the land from foreign governments and enemies the same.. reserve military.

The 2nd was not based on some lose interpretation of some British constitution. It was specifically written to create the idea of having basically a reserve army. It was NOT intended to create this mass hysteria of raising your guns to our government, and everyone having guns to just have guns.

Often times we argue about Dems vs Republicans in this idea that Dems want to take guns, but no one ever has any real proof yet we allow this to divide and often influence decisions. The right, so interpreted by our law makers gives you the ability to have such firearms, why bicker about it? You have your right now, buy what you can and be happy.

It is my personal belief, the only people that should have firearms are those that are willing to stand in the Armed Forces and fight for the country. Fat Bob isn't going to do it, slacked jawed Becky isn't going to do it, neither is De'Onte, or a Sharita.. who will are the able bodied Americans, whether Black, Asian, White, Latin American or other.

The so called "Patriots" and "Oath Keepers", are keeping what oath exactly? They are not keeping any military oath, nor any citizen oath. Education is free here: Military Oath = Armed combatant, defending the entire body of the US, not the written constitution. Citizenship Oath = Help in a NON COMBATANT form to defend the entire body of the US.

In all, we are all Americans, and all willing to fight foreign govts. Reading some of the posts on this forum is a sense sickening, to see people all to willing to take up arms against other Americans cause you may or may not have to register your guns.

I took a real oath 4x, and volunteered 5x for missions most of the 2A nuts piss their beds about. I have yet to fathom the idea of arming myself to fight our Govt, that's called a Coupe.. and not any part of any oath I took. Nor have I thought I would have to arm myself to fight other Americans cause of a very valid election process.

Of course this will piss people off, they have Midol for that, take two and relax. Just my opinion, and simple observation... we are all entitled to our beliefs, that's what makes America Great, not some foolish loudmouth with a mic.

All too many today don't realize the Nazis are here and well organized and well financed...under the names ANTIFA and BLM.

The poor state of education today...particularly history, economics and political science is so deplorable.
