Poor choice IMO. If I were to create a paramilitary group, I'd give it a stupidly-epic name.

Re: A Well Regulated Militia
Is it that we are scouting for men, or that we are men who are scouts? I don't know.Will you be recruiting in Greenwich Village?
It's no worse than "Boy Scouts"

Yes it is. The whole thing sounds terribly gay already, don't make it worse for yourself.

Re: A Well Regulated Militia
Why not just call yourselves scouts? Boy scouts are called boy scouts, because, I think, normal 'scouts' would not be boys but men.
Or the "[Location] Scouts"?

The Chelsea Square Scouts?
I mean, 'square' doesn't sound gay does it?

Re: A Well Regulated Militia
Make it sound as dramatic as possible.
What about the "New York Peoples' Constitutional Defence Army"?
Or something evil, like the "TuffStuff Death Brigade"?
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

Re: A Well Regulated Militia
Yes, but their brownshirts is the reason for a lot of laws against forming militias.
Anyway, the nazi's is one example, there are plenty of examples of militias gone bad.
The formation of groups like Hamas, IRA or SA is "the very meaning of democracy"?

Oh get off itt. There are plenty of examples of militias gone good. Heck there are Communist militias, that should appeal to you.
Besides he's gonna call his hunting group the 'Man Scouts". How lame can you get?

Talk about a storm in a teacup! Do what you want as a group. I don't imagine that the State has time to worry about some paintballers with all the shootings that go on.

Re: A Well Regulated Militia
Did I say that?
No. So let's cut the strawmen, shall we?
I meant that the people, all of them, should have power and force to overthrow a government that becomes tyrannical.

Re: A Well Regulated Militia
Allowing that will also allow militas like Hamas or SA.
You say you want the power to overthrow a tyrannical government, and you give those wanting a tyrannical government a wonderful opportunity to create it...

Re: A Well Regulated Militia
I believe Rabbit was simply referring to the unspoken contract between a government and the people.
(Who was that, Hobbes?)
Anyway, when the Government does not uphold its side of the contract, i.e. it becomes tyrannical and the people no longer wish to be in the contract, they should have the right to end the contract with the government and create a new one (contract and government) which they agree with.
Modern governments -- and people -- would do well to take this to heart.
Re: A Well Regulated Militia
All good in theory. In practice, however, it leaves the path open for those desiring a less desirable government, be that fascism, theocracy, communism or whatever.

Re: A Well Regulated Militia
With the amount of libertarians and conservatives in America, I don't think the rise of fascism or communism is a real issue. Here in Europe we might see that problem a little bit more, but I don't think so for America. Not yet at least.
