I've had another read of Peaceable Dave's Oslo response to his two prospective troopers. Two things strike me:
'NOT having guns is IMO the best proof that one really IS peace-loving.'This is BS. Both Canada and Switzerland have higher gun-ownership per capita (per head) than the US does but neither have anything like the ratio of gun crime that the US suffers from.
Peaceable Dave is trying to make a point about dropping one's self-defensive guard, one's responsibility to protect one's own life and mind against intruders.
I doubt that either Glenn or Josh, those pioneering frontier spirits, will buy into that one--if we are talking strictly about gun-ownership, a subject I really don't want to engage in--we've done the state military self-defensive thing here already.
But surely the proof of being peace-loving is having the access to weaponry of all kinds (try taking his club from the caveman) but knowing when and how to appropriately use it, to promote a rational solution.
I'm not averse to a bit of sabre-rattling myself, on occasion, when I can see the necessity.
'Nemo Me Impune Lacessit'---None shall harm me with impunity.

The other thing I noticed is that Breivik, the right wing, militia-loving, fascist, megalomaniac mass-murderer--who has rightfully been all over the news of late, is now referred to as 'whatsisname' by the master Identity Snatcher turned master Identity Revealer, Peaceable Dave, himself.
Peaceable Dave McKay of the Jesus Christian Kidney Cult is trying to distance himself----maybe in the google results, maybe in his readers minds----from anyone linking Breivik with the apocalyptic thought processes that are evident in apocalyptic cults such as Peaceable Dave McKay himself promotes and profits from.
