Lately there have been a few threads here bringing up the subject of invocation of the 2nd amendment in the way Jefferson intended (y'all know what I mean).
These threads tend to get locked or disappear all together.
I'm not going to debate the merits of either the pro or con position on use of violence to force political change in the USA because thats not what this thread is about.
I just wanted to call out those who want to discuss this here and kindly slap their little hands a bit.
I am not a moderator here, nor am I a member of the administrative staff. I'm nothing more than a charter member here who's been a part of this community (both here and TFL) for many years so I think I can speak with a little authority here (although that determination will ultimately come down to the mods).
It seems to me that even though many of us "regulars" here believe the Second Amendment is indeed the "doomsday clause" of the Constitution, it is still inappropriate discussion for these forums.
The purpose of The High Road is primarialy to support the cause of RKBA ... to be an outreach and resource to the fence sitters out there and help guide them to our side of the fence.
Refusal to discuss which politicians we'd off first when the S hits the F and the shooting starts is NOT a sign of weekness or lack of resolve, but is instead an acknoledgement that such discussion goes against the primary mission of this site.
Maybe it would help if Oleg or one of the moderators could pen a "Mission Statement" and put it in the FAQ just so there's no missunderstanding.
