Being a veteran doesn't make anyone special, nor does it make their opinion matter more than the opinion of any other person.

Oh, so you are saying that the American government would use laser guided munitions and nuclear bombs against it's own citizens?

For those of us who don't trust the government unlike you we want the ability to take our country back if it comes to that....

Willingly putting ones life on the line for ones country makes them a hell of more special than some college kiddie who took a few hours out of their lives to attend an anti-war demonstration....

Not every vet has put their life on the line, and even the ones that did aren't necessarily more special than non vets.

Of course, I'm sure you think the college kiddo is much smarter than all vets anyway....
You are sure of a lot of things, most of the times you are wrong.

If veterans are more special than non veterans than Charles Rangel, Rev. Wright, John Kerry are more special than Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity.

Because you don't respond to me in other posts tells me a lot about who is right and who is wrong....

But, you can fell free to quote me where I'm wrong...

Never said that, nice attempt to twist my words. Go back and read, what I wrote and what I was quoting and then see if you can put 2 and 2 together....

You never give up any of your rights, not one. You don't pick and choose.

The "musket" meme antigunners bring up is ludicrous. During the Revolution & afterwards private American citizens owned warships armed with heavy cannons. the government issued them letters of marque to attack our enemies. Such warships were the most dangerous weapons of their day.

But may I assume the naysayers also believe the 1st Amendment only covers a podium, quill pen, and Ben Franklin's printing press - not computers, TV, movies, radio, cellphones, IPads, the Internet?

Really now.
