Sure I do. So what? The issue we are discussing is not the private ownership of guns but the militia.

Because if you read what they wrote rather than dismissing them out of hand you will see the authors went to pretty good effort to list their sources and do not address (and make a clear note of it) the issue of the individual RTKBA. Maybe they are opposed to gun ownership but that does not make their inquiry into the historical research about the militia any more biased than say...yours.

Would using John Ross's
Unintended Consequences be less biased?:barf:
Al, please, you are above broad brushing and I challenge you to debate their facts as presented not their reptutation within the gun world.
Intelligent debate looks for truth whereever it is found, ideologues only look where it suits their arguments.
