[quote=afx114]How can you not associate militant gun-weilding anti-government activists with the party of the military, guns, and small government? They may not be card-carrying members, but the Venn diagram is pretty damning.[/quote]
Afx: Anti-government is not the same as small government. Militant does not equal military. Gun ownership is not a crime, but a right guaranteed in the 2nd Amendment.
You always struck me as one of the more reasonable center-left posters. This type of arithmetic is really surprising coming from you. I’m an arch conservative, former vet, who’s also a gun owner, but in no way shape or form would I ever have anything to do with the likes of McVeigh, Koresh or Loughner. Moreover, there is no connection at all between their various philosophies, such as they are, and conservatism or right-wing thinking.
