Ya gotta laugh. Trump it seems is far worse in terms of militarism than Kennedy (Vietnam) or Obama (Iraq, Libya Yemen etc etc) because...well just because.

Trump, the great militarist, hasn't started any new wars, is close to ending one (ISIS is about to become WASWAS), and is working to end Americas longest ever war. He's also pushing to get out of Syria and Afghanistan.

But he's the worst, dontcha know!

TDS strikes again.

Foxy,

The question was,
"What makes you think that the Americans of the 2nd Amendment era did not know of rapid firing guns and, in fact, of fully automatic ones, capable of firing bursts of multiple shots?"

If you can't answer it then inform yourself or stop wasting space.

Hi there DAVID F...

I gather you don't support any of the 'shooting' sports? Including the Olympics? I notice you don't object to members of a Militia from having arms. Is there any limitation to the weapons they are permitted to possess and use? Would those rights extend to farmers? Notwithstanding the above, should everyone else be denied access to a firearm, in your opinion DAVID F. and why?

Do you think Donald TRUMP has done anything commendable, since gaining the US Presidency? Do you think the overtures he's made to the North Korean Leader, Kim Jong-un has been just a stunt, or something much more meaningful? And the wall between Mexico and the United States, is it merely a folly, of a dangerously demented man, or something much more tangible, like the attempt at the interdiction of Drug Trafficking?

Davidf,

You want to talk 'childish'? I'll tell you what is really childish: people,including old men like you who should know better, still whining about an electoral disappointment two years after the event. Your lefty Democrats were definitely not good enough to win. Trump was. End of story. Act your age and get over it. You chose to leave the U.S, so it's none of your business anymore.

Saltpetre, you do jest surely. Can anyone really expect to lock up 9 million acres to protect some grouse, that doesn't appear to be good eating.

Canem Malum, I do have such a greenhouse. I used it for propagation, when I was supplying advanced shrubs to the Gold Coast landscaping industry. A 12M X 8M tunnel 5M high, it was covered in a glass reinforced translucent plastic material, over curved 32mm round pipe frame.

When I stopped that I recovered it with Hypalon fabric, fitted a full with door, & now keep my classic sports cars in it. That was 5 years ago, & I expect another 10 out of it. We used Hypalon for deck awnings on tourist boats & hoods on speed boats in the Whitsundays, where it would last up to 15 years.

The cost of the thing is about 16% of a tin shed the same size, & it is both cooler & cleaner than my sheds.

Is Mise,
