    Ahhh...an article from the NYT....the largest propaganda provider in the US. They would make Joseph Goebbels proud. As is NYT's M.O., they use half truths and spin history to fit their story. To understand the true reason for the 2A you need to go back much further than 1788. You would need to go back to England when only the ruling class were allowed to have any weapons. When they could pick up anybody out of the fields and prosecute them for a crime without evidence. A time where the peasants were basically slaves.

    If you understand the full history, the lies of the NYT are quite evident. Sure, there is a ring of truth, but it is not the whole truth and does not really represent what really happened. There was never any desire to rid the country of all weapons. The military would always have weapons and could put down any slave uprising. The slave owners did not need weapons. Throughout history, there was only 3 things slave owners needed to control their salve.....fear, dependency, and a lack of hope. When there was any sign on insubordination, they only need to pit slaves against each other. Sure, here might be an occasional uprising, but slaves owners have succeeded in putting them down quite easily without firearms in the past.....and in times long before guns were even created.

    So you feel loyalty to the DNC because they helped you through the ACA. It seems they were quite successful in programming you for the "dependency" part. So which party pushes "fear" the most? Would it be the party wanting all businesses to shut down and for people to cower in their homes? Who is trying to disarm the masses and using the fear of mass shooting as a mechanism? Who is telling you that this country is messed up by the present opposition administration to the point of possible irrepairability? Who is telling you that this world only has 10 years before climate change is irreversible? Which party supports the removal of things that give people inspiration and hope like monuments and religious symbols? Which party is pushing for universal income. Which party supports silencing the voice of those they declare as being immoral, having immoral thought, or saying immoral things....even though their immoral actions may have taken place decades earlier? Which party supports the "cancel culture"? Which party has rallying cries like "resist"...or "Black Lives Matter...or "Hands up, Don't Shoot"...or "Impeach" (even before the candidate took office)? Which party declares what is acceptable to say and what is not acceptable to say? Which party turns a blind eye to rioting where businesses are burnt and people are killed....because it is a righteous cause? Now look at 1930 Germany and tell me which party did ALL those things.

    I'm not saying RNC are better, but they only seem to want wealth at this time. The DNC not only wants wealth, they also want power and control.....which is much more dangerous.

    In regards to the "militia" claim, all able-body adult males were considered as part of the "militia". The Government did not supply arms in those days and people were expected to bring their own. The "militia" did not give credence for people to own and carry guns....the fact that people owned and carried guns gave credence to the "militia".

    You say I'm a cynic....and I might be. But I am also a realist that knows my history. To use a fictional quote: "Who are you that does not know your history". Understand history....the full history....and the actions and atmosphere of today are clearly written.

    "Trivializing your opponent's argument does not improve your rebuttal, it diminishes it."

    Take your own advice..

    Again.. Every named source has denied this. Adam Schiff was aware of this months ago and did nothing about it.... The media is leaking things and not a single person has stepped forward and backed it up including John Bolton who has much to gain by doing so.

    By all means ignore me... Tell the rest of the LPU here to do the same.

    The CIA put it in a presidential brief, so, when all news outlets are reporting on it, the are 'not making stuff up'.
    Get over it.

    Every battle field I have been on there were rumors and "intelligence" about bounties on US troops. It does not change a thing. In an active battlefield, troops are already at a high level of readiness and the enemy is already trying to kill you. Heck, the highest ranking General in the theater is not even gravely concerned.

    You can't make this crap up. Democrats say there are bounties on American heads in Afghanistan and then turn around and vote to prevent Trump's withdrawal of them. That show real concern for the troops..... keep them in harm's way while they "assess" the fake news story they generated. They are a fully purchased entity of the Military Industrial complex at this point. They will never let us leave the Middle East... not even if America herself is burning.
