I hate the word "terrorism." Someday people will look back and realize how damaging the word and the associated efforts to address it were to the notion of individual freedom.

Nope! Living happily in a free state and therefore seeing the irony of people living in MA actually having a "line in the sand" where enough is enough regarding freedoms under 2A... Don't talk about it, be about it. If you arent going to be about it, stop talking about it.
Dear All,
My apologies that sarcasm does not translate well to typing- my mistake. I, BadCat22 do not condone rioting, or anything related to "go time." I understand that MA residents are fine with the gov't interpretation of 2A. 2A is not a hobby, it is a lifestyle AS LONG AS it does not displace your family or your place of work and things are "ok." I think this whole thing started on pg. 106..although getting their was hard to do on my cellular telephone device (regarding the "come and take them" rhetoric- love the movie 300, btw). Again, I am perfectly happy with the way things are and always have been. I will go back to keeping my opinion to myself and occasionally visiting this thread to see where it goes. Love, BadCat22
get the semen out of your eyes and wake up, the 2A doesn't protect a hobby

Although a scavenger hunt for pre-ban magazines sounds fun, i'd rather not.
Good on you for the "done" column. Does not seem to have "done" anything, though. And I caught flak for calling 2A a hobby to some and got chastised. Ok, fine...but you just said that of course you wont uproot because of family and jobs (which I totally get- that is super super important)...there is a contradiction here. Owning guns is NOT a hobby but a freedom...check...., at the same time, you deal with your constitutionally granted freedom (2A), for all intensive purposes, being stripped. Not saying it is right or wrong, but spare me the "draw a line in the sand" talk- it is played out.

look
you think self defense is a hobby and you're clearly not open minded to any other viewpoint......so maybe you would be better off packing it in and going back to the huffington post.....
Let's distill this down simply to defending one right and one right only -- your right to life.
Even if living a full life to a natural causes conclusion, one is here on this mortal coil for a very short time. When that life is ended, there is no do over. You only get the one. So if you are face to face with someone trying to take your one and only life from you, will you stand there with no choice but to hand it over without protest or, will you stand there knowing you have made the commitment to being prepared to meet the challenge and have the best chance possible at holding onto that life.
Now, nothing in life is guaranteed. Being prepared is not a guarantee that even the most prepared person will survive the encounter, however, it is still far better than surrendering your life with merely a whimper.
So no, self-defense is not a hobby. You will get out of it what you put into. It requires an investment in acquiring the skills to arm yourself with the awareness and physical ability to keep someone from taking your most important asset -- your life. in addition, those skills are absolutely perishable and require vigilance to maintain their usefulness.
Being prepared is not easy and many people, through laziness, ignorance, cowardice, indifference, and etc, choose not to prepare themselves. There's nothing wrong with that. We're blessed the power of free will and people can freely choose not to prepare themselves. Doing nothing though is still a choice. So, to those who make the choice to be helpless when/if that day of reckoning comes; I wish you well.
the FBI has proven itself to be a total ****ing joke so it's not surprising that they've so grossly mishandled this crime scene.
yikes
I don't know if there's much to mishandle, they got all the guns/bombs/etc, and the electronic devices. Some photos and durka books aren't a hell of a lot of evidence.
It'd be different if they killed someone in their house or something.

hv55maxx, it was this gem of a comment. I just found it ironic that 2A does not protect a hobby (your response to an old post of mine). I saw you were from MA where personally I could never live. If it is more than a hobby to you: it is your freedom- aren't you sick of living in MA with your freedom being infringed upon? Again, I am an outsider here- just dont know how you do it!
P.S- I will admit, I was a little annoyed with the semen comment- thought it was a bit much.

can you quote where i actually said anything remotely labelled molon labe or come and take em?

I said stuff like that and stand by it....All out confiscation = open season on nazis.

One month and and 9 days until I close on my house in Georgia.
Three factors led to my leaving Connecticut after living here 39 years;
1) My wife's health as affected by the weather, (winter).
2) The taxes / economy of the state
3) The insane gun laws
I'm getting up and moving. I'll agree that it's not feasible, practical for everyone. I'm going to take a serious loss on my house, but I'm just sick of living here and willing to take that loss.
right. in due course. my door is still in the frame and my dog is alive so im not personally there yet
In fairness, at least they are admitting it was terrorism. That's a step in the right direction. We always give them a hard time and, as easy as this one appeared to be, at least they did get it right.

You can't give them credit for admitting to something that's impossible to dispute.

If you read back through the thread you would find that multiple people including myself already took that tack with him....which he's seemingly unwilling/incapable of grasping.
I wish it were that easy "See it was ISIS or terrorists like France."
See, a deranged white kid shot up a school. We were told we had to give up our guns, but instead more guns were sold. More deranged kids shoot up other places, still we weren't giving up our guns and gun sales continued to go up.
BUT NOW A US CITIZEN BECAME RADICALIZED AND SUPPOSEDLY BOUGHT THE GUNS LEGALLY. HE EVEN PASSED BACKGROUND CHECKS!!!!!!!
Now we must give up our guns and overturn the second amendment because it directly supports domestic terrorism. A TERRORIST CAN LEGALLY BUY A GUN AND KILL AMERICANS, " WE MUST DO SOMETHING "
See my point, these people will never stop, therefore we still must stay on our toes.
