2001 tort cost: 721.00 per citizen

I intend to suggest that the tobacco money go to buying fully automatic weapons for citizens who are in the militia by statute.

Who is in the militia by statute? By militia, do you mean National Guard? I'm not following you here.

HDPM,

"The nut cases will like me and forgive me some of my libertarian and anti-bigot bent."

Isn't that supposed to read: "The nut cases, like me, will forgive some of my libertarian and anti-bigot bent"? [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

P.S. Your best chance, I hope, is an appointment.

[HDPM]

Yeah, better chance of being appointed. I have resolved never to lie if I run for office. That does not mean I will disclose all of my positions in a campaign. It also means I probably can never win.

In Idaho, and most states, the militia consists of all citizens between certain ages. I think the statutes say men, but I think women may be included now, and I would definitely include them in my policy. The militia is definitely not the National Guard. It is not organized and doesn't drill. Nor is it the nut case groups. What it is, essentially, is every citizen who can pick up a gun. While I do not believe the 2d Amendment applies only to militias, what the qualifying language in the Amendment refers to is the body of private citizens who have political rights and guns. Check your state's statute on the internet. It may surprise you. And you are probably in it, or were at one time depending on age limits.
