If he claims membership in some sort of militia, then I think he is an enemy soldier.
So, excersizing your second amendment rights, which states:
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
means you are an enemy combatant?
Once a gun is raised at an agent of the US govement or a civilian, yes then he is an enemy soldier. Can we lose the "enemy combatant" thing? It was
a product of deception and I am sorry I used it.
Well, the term "soldier" doesnt fit this definition either.
Soldiers is defined as:
1. One who serves in an army.
2. An enlisted person or a noncommissioned officer.
3. An active, loyal, or militant follower of an organization.
So just picking up a gun does not make you a soldier.
Also, let me ask you this: If a civilian points a gun at a police officer who is illegally abusing his power, is he still an "enemy combatant" or
whatever rhetorical propaganda you'd like to use?
truth be told, these words are nothing other than propaganda to strike fear into a certain group, and to scare others into conforming.
One persons enemy combatant is another's person simply defending his home.
Terms such as "terrorist" "enemy combatant" "enemy soldier" ets are the most dangerous thing facing this country today, as most are too ignorant
to realize that they rea NOTHING MORE THAN MENTAL WARFARE ON YOU, AND EVERYONE AROUND YOU.
