ISIS fighter with American accent urges supporters to take advantage of U.S. gun laws
By Nick Miroff December 27 at 2:02 PM
In a video released Wednesday by the Islamic State, a one-legged fighter identified by the group as an American calls on Muslims in the United States to take advantage of the countrys gun laws to obtain weapons and carry out attacks.
The fighter, identified by the nom de guerre Abu Salih al-Amriki, wears khaki fatigues with a holstered pistol in the online video, published by a propaganda wing of the Islamic State. He speaks in English with what sounds like a New York City-area accent.
Take advantage of the fact that you can easily obtain a rifle or a pistol in America, the fighter says. Spray the kuffar (infidels) with bullets so that their fear of the Muslims rises and they continue to reveal their hatred towards Islam.
The SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks Islamist militant media, published a copy of the video, in which Abu Salih also calls President Trump a dog of Rome.

Play money, not real money. But you get my drift.

And the toadies in state governments are carrying the rest.
Regulate the Militia WELL.

Finally, the adjective well-regulated implies nothing more than the imposition of proper discipline and training. See Johnson 1619 (Regulate: To adjust by rule or method); Rawle 121122; cf. Va. Declaration of Rights §13 (1776), in 7 Thorpe 3812, 3814 (referring to a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms).

(35,043 posts)5. Great. Let's impose it then.
I see very little "proper discipline or training" in the Unorganized Militia. Mainly I see reckless yahoos poncing about in cowboy outfits, or amassing their own armories as a hobby.
Its a miracle their toddlers don't get hold of their guns and shoot them dead. Oh, wait, that happens regularly.
I suggest starting with some Marching Up and Down the Square:
Note: only half
