    We need to draw from the Russian model of little green men and start using deniable forces. The IRG likes playing all the sides of the table. When their fast boats start failing to RTB, we can just blame Megladon, or little blue men.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    I am reminded of the story of the Russian man, he was a businessman or a diplomat, who was abducted in the Middle East. His abductors call for all sorts of concessions and ransome. What did Russia do? They sent in some people, found the kidnappers, killed them, and mutilated them. And brought back the man who was kidnapped.

    Actually it was Beirut in the 80's when they thought they could kidnap anyone, then tried it with a Soviet. The Russkies found out who it was, found family members, and dismembered them on video. They then sent the tape to the kidnappers and viola! the guy was set free. Funny how that works.

    Looks like they did get one. Not sure what to think about this. Seems like the Brits (and at least our eyes) should have been watching after that Med operation by the Brits.

    "International Law of the Sea" or some such shit.

    Actually, it probably has more to do with the fact that the majority of countries on this planet are anti-gun and therefore if you are in their domain (and aren't their own JBT's) then having a gun is a no-go.

    They got two, but let one go.


    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.
