Thanks for the links. I am reading good arguments on those Reddit pages. Seems you're the one having a meltdown. None of the posts I see are about or by incels or white people. Your ALL CAPS are rather dramatic in this case. One general trend in those Reddit comments is that: many are now under the impression that they and other kids can now take ARs into crowds of people and murder anyone who throws a sandwich. Thank about that for a minute. The prosecution and judge obviously fucked up.

If those AR can be used to stop commie terrorists from spreading their marxist subversion, then that's a good thing.

So you're in favor of hunting people you don't like?

I am in favor of defending myself and my principles from people initiating the use of force ( like indoctrination, coercion, threats and violence ) to subvert my culture and my nation.

It is called defending the Western Civilization and Culture.

That's why the principle of "peace through strength" exists.

Yes - everyone has the right to defend themselves

No - protecting your principles is not the same as protecting yourself

No - there is no law that allows people to determine what they consider to be their own culture and then to defend that culture

Yes - there is a US constitutional 2nd Amendment for a WELL REGULATED MILITIA to help protect one's nation

No - there is no law that allows people to determine what they consider to be "western civilization and culture" and then to defend that "western civilization and culture" ("civilizations" and cultures are always in transition)

Peace through strength can apply to one's right to defend one's self and others, or it can apply to the US military industrial complex and over 100 significant military interventions in the US's brief 200 year history

My main point here is that there is a significant, legal difference between a 'well regulated militia' and vigilantism, whereby the latter is illegal, and can result in anarchy and your own death. It's mob rule.

Should I remind you that the progressives classify ANY self-assembled citizen militia ( like the one that repelled the domestic terrorist in Kenosha ) as a "White Supremacist Far Right Terrorists" ? The 2A was meant to provide citizens a way to fight against those who were went on destroying and undermining the US constitution and the principles over it was founded, be it an EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL threat. I would say that the 2A did a pretty damn good job on Kenosha that night.

Mad Pirate - Rittenhouse was not part of a "well regulated militia," as we know, and thus the 2A doesn't support what he did. He was acting as a vigilante, which is what Madison wanted to protect Americans against: against mob violence from vigilantes, as well as monb violence from the 'Federal' government. He and many like him were balancing the approaches of the constitusion by regulating against extremes, favoring instead a regulated populace, militia, and federal government, as well as 3 major branches of government, and a democratic party system. No one wants a Rittenhouse in their neighborhood, walking up to people with ARs and creating dangerious situations were it's likely to lead to murder.

So the guys that disrespect the founding fathers so much that they call them "slave traders" and who think that the US Constitution is so worthless that is has to be reinterpreted by "modern culture" as a "living constitution" suddenly know better than the Founding Fathers themselves what is the spirit of the 2nd Amendment ? ( which is by itself ironic, since the Founding Fathers already established what the spirit of "militia part" of the 2nd amendment in the federalist papers, more specifically Federalist 29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalist_No._29 ). It is obvious that the National Guard did not acted as it should have in Kenosha or nothing of this sort would have had happened, therefore it was up to the citizens to defend themselves from the domestic terrorists burning down their city. That's what Kyle and other did and they were on their right to do so. In that sense, groups like "The 3 percencenters" or "Patriot Prayer" who is well known train regularly fill the void left by the inaction of the National Guard ( when for example, Democrat governors fail to activate them in fear of upsetting the Progressive Status Quo ). Again, they are perfectly in their right to do so. Besides, when country kill commies, it becomes a better country.

#KillAllMarxists

And hell, even congressmen are saying nothing would have happened if the National Guard had acted ... https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/11/20/gop-rep-steil-rittenhouse-incident-wouldnt-have-happened-if-there-was-adequate-law-enforcement-presence/ As I said, in those cases, citizen militias become essential to defend the traditions and the soul of a country as it was founded.
