This takes me back to a class I took in Political Science back in 1972.

If we truly had a "well regulated" gun control (that well regulated part of the 2nd Amendment they leave out), we should:
1)require training
2)require licensing (like getting a driver's license)
3)require insurance for liability coverage or revoke license (free market insurance companies are good at identifying risk)
4)follow US Army/Marine rules where when an assault rifle or gun is not in use for training or war, that gun is always locked up - same for hunting.

@mls14

Exactly.
These NRA gun nuts claim the 2nd Amendment gives the right to bear arms to protect against the federal government. As one friend of mine mentioned, even with assault weapons, the US federal government's weapon arsenal including bombs, tanks, etc still greatly outweighs their assault rifles. It's a meaningless argument. Russia's funding of the NRA explains why we are even having to deal with this issue.

How a true believer’s flawed research helped legitimize home schooling
Brian Ray says home-schooled students do better. His daughter tells a different story.

In interviews, Ziebart said her father taught her almost no math, routinely required her to work long hours for his nonprofit institute during school days, and whipped her and her siblings with switches and other objects when they disobeyed his orders.

I don't think the owner of this truck understands what this word means. Photo taken while stopped at a stop light in Tulsa.

Maine follows in Vermont's footsteps, working to ban paramilitary-style training facilities & Neo-nazi group moves out of state.
Happy to see
Oklahoma Constitution bans such groups as well. The Oklahoma Constitution forbids private military units from operating outside state authority, providing that “[t]he military shall be held in strict subordination to the civil authorities.” Okla. Const. art. II, § 14.
