BR's Weblog - Articles primarily on the RKBA

[BattleRifleG3 16]

This has been linked to before, but I figured one thread for the whole weblog, bumped occasionally when there's an update, would make sense.

 

These are articles written by me to be used as a resource in your discussions defending the RKBA. Generally these give a slightly different slant than what we're used to, often turning the other side's logic against them or exhaustively refuting their claims. To most of us they're preaching to the chior.

 

They probably won't convince the craziest leftists, but thoughtful people whose awareness of gun related issues could be improved could benefit. They aren't aimed at one of the two political parties, but at legislation and ideas.

Several more articles have been posted. You might find yourself in conversations where you have a chance to defend gun rights. Consider this a resource and use these points as you see fit.

My best response to anti-gunners.

 

FACTS:

 

1. The Marine Corps is the oldest branch of the Armed Services. they predate the Army and the Navy.

2. They were origionally put on PRIVATEERS. (Privately owned warships).

 

Question:

 

If Americans did not own weapons of war-up to and including warships, WHERE did the ships come from? And what "sporting pourpose" did they serve?

Very good point, I didn't know that about the USMC.

[Gaddis 1,689]

Yeah, me too. I think the Continental Army came before the creation of the Marine Corps.

 

Remember, Spain had the most formidable Navy on the planet at the time the new colonies came into fruition.
