    Need to make a sign that says

    "Have you registered your Qu'ran?
    Terrorists don't register their Qu'rans...are you a terrorist?"

    Most of us here have already been labeled as "Right wing extremists" just for participating on this site. I have been called worse things by my wife here lately.

    Wow. By the wife? That doesn't sound good.

    And as best I can tell, nearly all gun owners, former military members, and anone registered as a Republican or Libertarian is classified as an Right Wing Extremist. Easy to do, when the people doing all that classifying are liberals and socialists. Because in socialist circles, they're the moderate centrists and people like us who own guns when we should know that those things are dangerous are the whackos. How dare we think that our Second Amendment rights are as important as their First Amendment rights? For that Matter, their First Amendment rights are more important than ours, apparently we should know enough to shut up so they can educate everyone on how things should be. Plus, it'll be a lot easier for them to make sure we know our rightful places when we we're unarmed.

    Terrorists and enemies of this country don't figure into their planning, since they can't control them. So they just kowtow and whine to them. They figure they can get us with laws.

    And if you look at it, it's a self-perpetuating system. Politicians are mostly former Judges and Lawyers. Politicians make the laws. Judges interpret and apply the laws. Prosecutors (who are lawyers) and lawyers use the laws for whatever they're doing at the time. Those prosectors and lawyers become the judges, and the politicians....It's a closed loop, controlled by them. We're just here to provide their facilities and grist for the mill. Prisons are an industry too, connected to the same system. Lots of money keeping people locked up. Death penalty would really mess that up, if it got applied to the slime that it ought to and some of the stupid prosecutions/sentences that shouldn't happen, didn't. I mean, hey, if people thought that they might actually have to PAY for their crimes, crime rates might drop. Judges, lawyers, prosecutors, law enforcement, and various peripheral jobs would suffer.

    Registering your firearms while living on post is nothing new. Granted the sign is of poor taste and probably posted up by some XO trying hard to do the right thing (or so he thinks). We had similar dumb signs hanging up everywhere when I was in. Like in the stall. Above the urinal, on the door in the stall. Over the drinking fountain, etc. All hung up by our fearless officers.

    Barracks soldiers (single mostly) aren't allowed to have their guns in the barracks. You keep em' in the arms room. I was my troops armorer and it wasn't a hassle for the guys to draw them at all. If anything it was more of a hassle for me to have to coordinate issue and then re-take them. For them it was just a call. The barracks are places of high crime. Theft mostly. Soldier on soldier crime 95% of the time. Can't remember the saying to well but "no ones a thief, everyone's just trying to get their stuff back" or something like that. If you live in on-post housing (married soldiers) then you register them with the Provost Marshall and all is good. You get to cuddle with them at night if you choose in your home. Off post living is the best if your a gun person. Also the Army (the only branch I have experience with) isn't the kindest friendlies environment for people with thin skin. Ridicule is abundant from peers and people in leadership positions. Combine that with a metric fuck ton of booze, 18 year old sallies get wound up tight, and break.

    Preaching to the choir but obviously gun control is dumb and never applies to criminals are general BG's.

    Sounds close enough to me. Are version was “There is only one thief in the Marine Corps, everyone else is just trying to get their gear back".

    My sister-in-law thinks that I am Right wing extremists, because I have a firearm.
    She thinks I brainwashed my wife.

    Oh yeah, they live in Chicago, IL.

    That's like someone from an institution calling you mental because you don't have to stop by a window for your daily allotment of pills every day.

    I ws on active duty in the army from 1983-1992, 10 year, equally split between the 82nd Airborne and the 5th Special Forces. Even in SF we either had to keep our guns and ammo off post or in the arms room; that's assuming that you're single. I was never married while I was in, so I can't tell you anything about that.

    When I was in the 82nd we had one hell of a time getting the arms room open on weekends, so most of us just kept them off post, in storage buildings generally. That also kept the armorers from messing with them, which some were want to do.

    In SF we had a saying, "admit nothing, deny everything, make counteraccusations." That policy pretty well applied to everything in or out of garrison. Not saying that I was ever one to break the rules and keep a gun in the barracks though.
