@ARCRaidersGame literally spent 30 min pvping for the hidden bunker event. Got one antenna. Other people got the other three. Have 13 min to find it, couldn’t so we had to leave without looting it. Idk, maybe mark it on the map after or something?? Pretty stupid decision.

Get some voice actors in there. It absolutely destroys the immersive nature of the game. I’d rather see va’s from Fiverr do a shit job than have an AI do it instead.

Okay, let's hear it. Tell 'em.

@SteveO2385 @Newsilentl75433 @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal And it’s not “what ifs”, it’s a contingency, moron. That’s the same thing as saying I have airbags so I don’t need a seatbelt.
All of your arguments could be refuted by anyone who has ever opened a history book. We have been lucky in modern history, but it isnt a guarantee.
English

@Newsilentl75433 @Arctos_DB @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal You can do what ifs all day but we have a standing military and a militia is not necessary. Hasn’t been since the Civil War.
Your argument has one logical conclusion because you’ll say no group or person can be trusted with power or guns aside from yourself. Scalia argument.

Time to revisit the second amendment and learn what “militia” actually means, chief.
Tim Pool@Timcast
What do you call it when states order their law enforcement to resist federal authority, police are instructed to target feds for prosecution, and governors launch legal challenges to assert command of national guard over the President?
English

@SteveO2385 @Newsilentl75433 @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal That’s the argument the founding fathers made… that’s like the whole purpose of a democratic republic… for the people, by the people. No one group or person CAN be trusted with power. That’s is literally the whole point of the United States 🤦♂️

@SteveO2385 @Newsilentl75433 @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal In the same way, the 2A is not about self defense, hunting, or shooting sports. Likely because those were as integral to life as breathing, and were beyond the scope of amendments. The 2A is a part of the check and balance system that they wish they had for the British.
English

@SteveO2385 @Newsilentl75433 @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal The 2A is not about defending from foreign threats, enforcing the law, or responding to disasters. It is to deter and overthrow tyrannical governments. By nature, the “militia” that is necessary for a free state can not be an extension of the government. 1/2

@Arctos_DB @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal You can make it an originalist vs modern legal precedent , but its definitely a 10th amendment violation if he orders troops to go into places without state or judicial approval.
English

@frisk2700 @shooshmashta @TheOmniLiberal Regulated means maintained, not restricted in this context. Court decisions uphold that understanding.
English

@Arctos_DB @shooshmashta @TheOmniLiberal What is in your opinion a well regulated militia, and who regulates the militia?

Which government were the People worried about becoming tyrannical?
Arctos@Arctos_DB
@LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal I’m referring to the original intent which is pretty obvious in the context of the time it was written. Gov can become tyrannical -> citizens have a right to be armed. If your point is that the government recognizes a government funded military as the militia, then idc
English

@shooshmashta @TheOmniLiberal State there means nation state, not one of the 50 states.
“The phrase ‘security of a free State’ meant ‘security of a free polity,’ not security of each of the several States as such, but rather of a free political society of Americans.”
—Columbia v. Heller (2008)
English

@Arctos_DB @TheOmniLiberal They definitely clarified between people and states in the Constitution bro. It literally says, "to the security of a free state" in the 2nd amendment
English

@TheOmniLiberal @TheOmniLiberal Yes, but not just the Fed. The Bill of Rights is about individual liberties, not States rights (especially since post 14th amendment). There are clauses elsewhere in the constitution and other court decisions that support your argument better than 2A.
English

@Arctos_DB No, it was a fear of the Federal government becoming too powerful. The main purpose of the constitutional convention was to create a stronger federal government, but the states were worried that this government would be too strong.
English

@PolemicalPotato @TheOmniLiberal Because it helps paint a clearer picture of what the 2A means. Citizen vs Gov.
The difference between “every able-bodied man” and tax-payer funded, career soldiers, armed with far more than civilians have access to, that are led and directed by the government is pretty stark.
English

@Arctos_DB @TheOmniLiberal This is a distinction without a difference. If the 2A applies to "every able-bodied man", would that not include the servicemembers of a state guard? Why would the founders protect the states' rights to form a militia, but not a military? What's the point of this distinction?
English

@SelphinRose @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal A federally funded NATIONAL guard. A branch of the military that operates domestically. The ongoing situation with California is gov vs gov, not citizens vs gov.
The national guard IS the potentially tyrannical government that would need to be resisted by citizens.
English

@PolemicalPotato @TheOmniLiberal ^ Both of these were defined as such by the Supreme Court in 2008
English

@PolemicalPotato @TheOmniLiberal You have to understand the context. At the time there was no military. Militia meant every able bodied man. It was referring to state militias, the next part would read “the right of the state to have a militia” not “the right the people”. Also, “State” here means nation state.
English

@SelphinRose @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal It’s actually simpler. Armed citizens can resist tyrannical government. The 2A couldn’t make it any clearer
English

@PolemicalPotato @TheOmniLiberal NOOO 😭 my point is just that that is not what the 2A is about. There are other clauses that make the case for state militia. Just not the 2A
English

@Arctos_DB @TheOmniLiberal So lemme get this straight. You think the founders wrote the 2A to protect civilians' rights to own firearms, but didn't write anything protecting states' rights to raise their own militias?
English

@PolemicalPotato @TheOmniLiberal Dude. Go read the other post. I’m just saying the 2A is irrelevant here. There is plenty of other legal grounds or doctrine to support that, just not the 2A, which is about civilians. The federally funded NATIONAL guard is functionally a branch of the military, not armed citizens
English

@Arctos_DB @TheOmniLiberal You don't think the state-level national guard belongs in a conversation about countering federal government tyranny? Did you stop taking history classes after elementary school?
