Ronin Thought of the Day
Today's wisdom comes from the learned samurai James Madison: A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained in arms, is the best most natural defense of a free country. Continue to prepare oneself for battle daily, as you are the main defense of our liberty.

Or in laymans terms, buy guns, lots and lots of guns.
Wait! You mean to say that Madison not only believed that people should own weapons, but that they should be trained in how to best use them? But this goes against everything liberals believe in! Oh well, who cares what they think anyway? #2 - Posted by: Trucido on June 30, 2004 09:38 AM"But this goes against everything liberals believe in! Oh well, who cares what they think anyway?" So very true... #3 - Posted by: SIGPro on June 30, 2004 09:51 AMIt's not enough to buy lots of guns. You and your family and friends need to form militias also. #4 - Posted by: LibertyBob on June 30, 2004 09:56 AMIsn't that what the National Guard's for? Call me crazy, but I'd sooner put my life in the National Guard's hands then a couple rednecks with shotguns. #5 - Posted by: Kane on June 30, 2004 02:16 PMWhen you're assaulted in an alleyway, you go ahead and call the National Guard. We ronin handle such problems ourselves. #6 - Posted by: Frank J. on June 30, 2004 02:33 PMThank the Lord, and pass the ammunition. BTW Kane, you're a moroooon. The NG was born from the Civil War when states formed their own regular forces. Militias, are citizen irregulars; us you evil monkey commie spawn of Satan. #7 - Posted by: Connecticut Yankee on June 30, 2004 02:53 PMThe liberals pitch their tent on the "well regulated" part of that. #8 - Posted by: beo on June 30, 2004 03:01 PM"To be swayed neither by the opponent nor by his firearm is the essence of marksmanship." "Conquering evil, not the opponent, is the essence of marksmanship." Know your soul and strive for purity, for once one masters himself he can be mastered by no one else. #9 - Posted by: AWG on June 30, 2004 03:22 PMA privatized army will only go so far. "Lots and lots of guns" #10 - Posted by: Rob on June 30, 2004 04:03 PMI'm regular, if that helps. #11 - Posted by: Dave in Texas on June 30, 2004 10:29 PMMadison stole that from the second amendment! I hope the guy who wrote the constitution sues his *ss. #12 - Posted by: Bob in Feenicks on July 1, 2004 02:18 AMOh, I misread "natural defense" as "national defense". #13 - Posted by: Kane on July 1, 2004 02:50 AMThe 2nd Amendment is about individual onwership of arms to deter an abusive government. The National Guard may be "Federalized" by the central government at any time, thus making is an agent of the Feds. Having spent 24 years in the National Guard (15 of which as a full-time Technician), I know that the National Guard is not what Madison envisioned in his wiritngs supporting the 2nd Amendment. The National Guard is a military force used at the state-level by the Governor to supplement law enforcement agencies, as needed. To the Feds, its a military force to augment the Regular Forces, as needed. The National Guard is an agency of the GOVERNMENT. It's weapons are locked in high security vaults under the control of Federally-paid employees. The National Guard is only marginally a force of the people. It is, again, an agency of the GOVERNMENT. Remember -- governments prefer to deal with unarmed peasants. Stockpile weapons and ammunition -- preferbly in common calibers used by military forces (this eases resupply)! Reflect upon this and ponder. #14 - Posted by: MAJ Mike on July 1, 2004 10:38 AMPost a comment
