Gosh, when did Colt put that advertisement in my avatar.
What am I going to do?
It's not an advertisement. An advertisement would be something to the effect of "Hey y'all, the new M96 is only $1500! Visit this link and pick one up!" That's an advertisement. That's not what I have. I've got a simple message regarding voting your rights. Big difference. And if you can recall me arguing for the right of citizens to own automatic weapons (which were NOT covered by the assault weapons ban, that banned UGLY weapons), feel free to roam back through the Jovitalk archives and find the quote. I'd love to see it. And by the way, I seem to remember telling Ponrauil in our last debate that SEMI-auto rifles were the best battle rifles for civilian militia/ownership, that the US military was issue some groups semi-autos.

Yes, I think it would indeed be slavery if the feds marched everyone, willing and unwilling down to the local shooting range and forced them to learn how to handle weapons. But back to the subject at hand, I was responding to Mongoose's post that (basically) stated that I shouldn't have a problem with the draft (slavery) if I advocated the ownership of automatic weapons, something he pulled from a statement I made in jest to Jim.
The draft is slavery. Plain and simple. I don't care what historical precedents there are for it, I don't care if they pay the slaves, I don't care if people see it as necessary, I don't care if it's mandated by God. If you force me through the violence of law to fight and die against my will, that's slavery.
