chrisp65 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 The state calling in the army to quell civil rights protests its surely the very reason they have kept the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms? He does love a bit of brinkmanship. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 2, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 2, 2020 The right to bear arms to defend against government tyranny. ...unless you agree with the government's tyranny, in which case crack on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the only time the NRA ever supported legislation to curb the right to open carry weapons was 1967 when the Black Panther movement started to open carry.

The great minds of our generation will unlikely ever have a profound impact on society and if any of them did stupidly decide to get into politics they would be crushed by the political infighting and affiliation wars and where nothing gets done. It amazes me sometimes how us humans havent wiped ourselves out yet because despite what I wrote, the US and UK are supposed to be the good countries, whatever that means.

I think he'll bottle it because he's got a chance of being invited to the G7 meeting, which I assume he will see as big political points putting Australia in that conversation and he wont risk that. So with the G7 countries....Russia, India, South Korea will be invited as well but Australia being invited, Morrison will be dining off that for ages so he wont risk that by getting Trump offside now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, I hadn’t put 2 and 2 together when Trump said he wanted a bigger meeting this time. It should stop them being too vocal about the handling of the riots... we’ll played Donald 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Quote Four police meanwhile were shot and injured on Monday night during unrest in St Louis, Missouri. Police chief Colonel John Hayden Junior told reporters "some coward fired shots at officers and now we have four in hospital. Thank God they're alive," before becoming overcome with emotion. Source So firing at the heavily armed police who are dealing with peaceful protests, and the general public going about their business with tear gas and rubber bullets makes you a coward. How many innocent citizens are in hospital? Police I assume are the heroes? Edited June 2, 2020 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
