so you favor eliminating our professional, proactive, first strike full time standing army in favor of a well armed militia that can spring up to defend us from invasion ?
that really doesn't sound like a GOP platform

This is pretty good ammunition for Trump (no pun intended). If Clinton is elected, guns will be confiscated. It's now pretty clear.
The air of opportunism at Scalia's death was in pretty poor taste too.

I agree that we don't need to be militarily involved across the globe.
But that isn't really relevant to political manipulation of the Supreme Court to strip away more rights of the people.

No one is going to be confiscating guns in America. It's just not logistically feasible.
Now, I wouldn't put it past them to pass laws that allow them to slap more gun related charges on people whether a gun was involved in the crime or not. But confiscation will never happen.

It seems we are constantly fighting our government over rights.
Privacy rights.
Rights to free expression.
Gun rights.
And we have those who will defend the government at every turn, so it certainly is plausible.

No politician in their right mind would destroy a 16 billion dollar industry. Not even Hilldog.
To big to fail ring a bell?
