Did that necessarily make him a bad instructor?

Is there anyone on here who doubts he could defend himself? Probably not, which is bad because I would bet a fair number of people could not, and I might count myself among them. A while back someone posed the question, at what point would you feel incapable of carrying a gun? Most people...

OK, so its a rightist fantasy-rant. It is scary that posts on THR and DU seem to be merging into one paranoid ill-informed mush.

hawkeye, Was that a rightist fantasy-rant or a leftist fantasy-rant?

Thanks PeacefulJeffrey. I have added you to my ignore list. It is not because we disagree. I disagree with others but still find their views interesting. It is because I believe you are an anti-semite and I am content to let you grind your axe elsewhere.

444, I wish that were true. Plenty of people here have been to legitimate shooting schools and I havent heard too many support Fairbairn's view. Ayoob specifically takes issue with it. Further, the competitions and gradings that go on (I dont know to what extent in schools but for sure in...

PeacefulJeffrey, it is members like you that make me sorry this forum does not have an ignore feature.

I'll try this again. In Shooting To Live Fairbairn offers that target shooting, while a worthy endeavor, not only does not help with combat but actually detracts from it. He maintains that speed is the greatest factor in surviving a shooting. His method stresses instinctive shooting with...

Translation: dont confuse me with the facts. Yes, sorry to disappoint you. Law is a complex field inhabited by scholars who spend their whole lives studying it. The Founders were well versed in law as well as philosophy and a few other disciplines. What appears simple is not always so.

You could take it as an unawareness on your part that I have responded to your point above (Post 157) and you just missed it. Please go back and review my response before demonstrating your wit again.

Actually the phrase is "Justice delayed is justice denied," and its attributed to Gladstone. It was used in some famous Supreme Court opinion, although I cannot remember which. King just ripped off the phrase, which in any case doesnt have any legal standing.

Yeah, except that approach was first innovated by Col Fairbairn in Shooting To Live. I wouldnt be too quick to dismiss it.

There is no such phrase. You coined it. Probably just for the hell of it.

GhostRider, While I am not here to do people's legal research for them, here is an opinion from the Tn AG that cites the relevant case laws as to why the 2A deos not apply to the states. Please go read not only this piece but also the case laws cited before you respond. Constitutional Law is a...

Your understanding of the Constitution is faulty then.

SmershAgent, your issues are with the state of Illinois. The Second Amendment has nothing to do with your state's laws.

You can if you want to be labeled a sheeple, agent of big evil government, and fascist.

1) Except the founding document specifically empowers the Supreme Court. 2) Except that they must be nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. They can be impeached and removed for cause. 3) Except that this is only where a case is brought before them and they declare the...

Centac, You cannot argue with people who think that rights are absolute and god-given. Despite there being no evidence for either claim they will insist that they have an absolute right to [fill in the blank] totally unrestricted from any interference by anyone. It is nonsense. It is obvious...

Confirm the guy and lets get on with life.
