1,100 Green Berets show support for the 2nd Amendment

[Angry Irishman]

I seriously couldn't care less if they are green berets or not.

What about plumbers? Would you care about plumbers?

There are too many people trying to strip it away and still call it the second amendment.

Antonin Scalia disagrees with you...

Justice Antonin Scalia, one of the Supreme Court's most vocal and conservative justices, said on Sunday that the Second Amendment leaves room for U.S. legislatures to regulate guns, including menacing hand-held weapons.

Well if they are current troops they are violating military regulations by voicing political opinions under the color of their uniform. That aside though, I'm just tired of people trotting out The Troops all the time.

I wonder if they will be disiplined?

They did so anonymously so that they couldn't be punished for disobeying regulations.

I would think that to be a GB integrity would be high on the list.

Guns are already regulated to a large degree. He said that because if he didn't you'd have lawsuits challenging everything from the NFA to NICS.

For me, the whole Green Beret thing has some relevancy, as it makes them particular experts on this weapons. They are more aware of their true capabilities than probably 95% of the population, and definitely more aware than most politicians. That gives them more of a right to speak.

While I agree that it gives them more expertise in how weapons are used, the other things they speak to aren't related to that. (common usage?)

Furthermore it is acting to politicize the military, something we really don't want. While you are in uniform you are free to speak your own opinion, but not under the color of the military. They need to either get out of the army or shut their mouths.
