Depends upon what you mean.  Kent State. Waco, Ruby Ridge.  Etc.  While I don't agree with the motives of some of these folks, the government did over react, yes?

Best regards,

RA1

Agree totally that, in all of those instances, the government did overreact.

But help me understand how military-grade firearms ownership by civilians is any kind of reasonable, credible, sustainable answer to that kind of government overreach, in this day and age?

Count the number of schoolchildren dead as a result of that, to me, unfathomable logic. And help me understand.

I learned that Big Pharma is evil as ever. And the good old USofA is still the only place that facilitates such greed. What, there's no other country whose government is open to bribery?

Horizon Pharma raises price of Vimovo painkillers in US to nearly $3,000

Naw, I didn't just learn that. And neither did any of you.

But we still sit back and pay and pay and  pay.

And that's not news either, is it?

MsGuy, you are so very correct.  Our congress is tied to the drug industry like a piglet sucking on its mother.  They love the money donated to their campaigns by these swine. And, they fear the NRA so much that they cannot bring themselves to do anything about children being murdered.  Many here are too young to remember when several Puerto Ricans opened fire with pistols during a session of congress in the 1950's.  Would not bother me one iota if someone went into a joint session of congress with an AK 47 and blasted those useless bastards.

I learned that Trump is still a douchebag and a lying sack of shit...

Agree wholly.

Your suggested plan of action?

I am right & ready to charge if you can point the way.

I learned that Trump, McConnell, Ryan, Rubio, and Scott  has blood on their hands...

 

 

 

I learned that Trump has no soul...

Understand that my heart is broken for these children, their parents and friends.  Compared to atomic weapons or the sustained efforts of the military indeed any civilian firearm is only a symbol of resistance,  But, symbol it is of We the People.

The original technical intent of the Second Amendment was that citizenry who belonged to State militias should have weaponry on hand in the event of an urgent State-ordered militarization.

The idea that this Amendment was intended to give unsupervised private citizens unfettered access to weaponry of any class was manufactured out of whole cloth and popularized by Colt and by Smith & Wesson after the ending of the Civil War, when their of course to that point very lucrative sales fell off a cliff.

It has no basis whatever in the thinking of the Founders.

[RA1]

That is the American way.

The  staggering level of detail in these disclosures suggests this whole investigation is coming to a head astoundingly soon, for such a project.

I think that if I were anyone remotely connected with Election 2016, I would take something for it, now.

No credence to the statement that no American was involved?

One suspects that statement was made in the sense of 'speaking narrowly.'

The long trail of rubles... 

...into the pockets of the Trumps, Kushners, Manafort, et al. is already a publicly documented certainty.

and as a great example their current topic is "What diseases do you have?" 

nothing could go amiss in that thread....

I learned that just because you think you have the flu and you treat yourself for the flu and you seem to be getting better but go to the hospital expecting them to compliment you on your treatment that they might not do that. Dengue Fever

I learned today that my mother spent her childhood in a completely different place than the one I always assumed she did.
