If the signers of the Constitution didn't believe in a standing military, they wouldn't have penned the amendment prohibiting the housing of troops in private property without the owner's permission during peace time.



Yep, good point there, Mac!

BUT I gotta ask ya somethin' here...IF that "law" WASN'T on the books, then what the hell difference would it make ANYWAY???

I mean, because and thanks in large part to our "hallowed" Second Amendment, we have the right to ALMOST build as big a personal freakin' arsenal as we WANT, RIGHT?! And so, don't ya think that IF that "bad ol' guv'ment" ever WANTED to TRY doin that WITHOUT our approval...why...we could just FIGHT 'EM ALL OFF 'til they gave up tryin' to do that...RIGHT?!

(...I mean, we people MUST learn to "stand our ground"...just like that MORON in RUBY RIDGE IDAHO, and that OTHER freakin' MORON in WACO TEXAS was soooooooo freakin' successful at, RIGHT???!!!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
