Unknown to most Leftists, gun grabbers, and foreigners (big Venn Diagram overlap there) -
10 U.S. Code § 311 - Militia: composition and classes
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1)the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and (2)the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
-----
Which is the basis of 'Selective Service' (aka the Draft), the selective activation of the federal militia. Not to be confused with state militias, of which several states maintain. It's past time that some of the gun friendly states similarly establish via their authority the designation of their citizens as part of their militia, thus extending the protection when the 'militia' issue is ever raised.
I have a friend with his eye on a cabin in Canada if the Hildibeast wins. Plan A (Hilibeast losing) is a nice retirement home in Florida.

I am already stockpiling nonperishable food and ammo and supplies. If her or Bernie win I'm going to accelerate the process and kick up the training with my unit even more when the collapse comes.

#5, AlanC: You are supposed to run towards the sound of the gunfire, dammit. Don't just run away and let other people do all the heavy lifting.
#6, Sven the pelter: What I said to AlanC above . . . . plus, this: tell your friend NOT to come up here to Canuckistan if the Hildebeast wins. We've suffered enough over the years from all the hippies who came running up here during the Vietnam thing years and after. Besides, we're busy going through our own "Obama Lite" moment right at the present time and we don't have the time to hold anybody's hand and hear their tales of being cruelly oppressed.
[PJmedia] A confident, smiling and laughing Hillary Clinton delivered a top-notch performance at last night's Democratic debate. The optics were great for her, which she had no doubt anticipated as her only real opponent -- Bernie Sanders -- stood next to her scowling and looking old and angry as he repeatedly denounced Wall Street. Bernie's routine might work wonders for him on the campaign trail, but on TV, not so much.
Hillary Clinton outmaneuvered the senator from Vermont, who refused to attack her where she was vulnerable. When Anderson Cooper asked her about her private e-mail server, Clinton again admitted she make a mistake, but said: "What I did was allowed by the State Department." Just who allowed it she never did say. Hillary is masterfully using tools from her old kit: just as the vast right-wing conspiracy was out to get her and her husband so many years ago, the hullabaloo over her emails is only about Republicans trying to destroy her. To cheers, she said: "I'm still standing."
Then Sanders piped up:
I think the secretary is right. The American people are sick and tired of hearing about e-mails.
Anderson Cooper replied:
Secretary Clinton, Secretary Clinton, with all due respect, it's a little hard -- I mean, isn't it a little bit hard to call this just a partisan issue? There's an FBI investigation, and President Obama himself just two days ago said this is a legitimate issue.
None of the other candidates dared take up the opening he had given them, which would have raised the question of Hillary's credibility, trustworthiness, and vulnerability on the question of the e-mails and on so many other things.
Instead of returning Sanders' favor, Hillary went after him for consistently voting against gun control, including voting five different times against the Brady Bill, which required a federal background check and a five-day waiting period until one can purchase a gun.
Clinton also got Sanders on his claim to be for democratic socialism. Someone forgot to inform Bernie that even in 2015, when asked, Americans overwhelmingly choose capitalism over socialism. Hillary knows it, and said she would take the steps to once again save the capitalist system from itself.

There you have it. Save us all from ourselves. You go, girl! You know what's best.
The idea behind capitalism, IIRC (from Milton Friedman's Book, Free to Choose) was that a bunch of greedy capitalists striving to enrich themselves would also benefit society with low-cost stuff like cars, computers, Blue Bell ice cream, and flat screen TVs with a thousand channels. None of which we can credit to government regulation.
And probably cheap firearms...

Because she's the inevitable candidate? She's awaiting her coronation? Because the whole thing is rigged and scripted?

Sanders didn't even highlight HRC's hypocritical rhetoric of Citizen United and her decision to favor Super Pacs on her behalf. Obviously, hammering Wall Street billionaires doesn't include Democrat sugar daddies.

Class Warfare is always a good cause and convenient 'cover for action.' Especially when the ranks of the poor and impoverished are on the rise. Typical communist political technique.

Hillary lied about several things during the so-called debate. It is de rigueur for her and the donks--in other words the usual behavior. Jim Webb was the guy who seemed out of place during this love in--he actually made considerable sense and seemed to have some ethics and honesty about him. Unfortunately, her base probably did not know she was lying or they didn't care or were too stoned to respond one way or another.
Key bit in light of Hillary Clinton's claim made during the Democratic debate that she had the respect of President Obama as Secretary of State:
[IsraelTimes] The timing of Ross's book* release on the day of the first Democratic presidential debate Tuesday is compelling, given his portrayal of Clinton. He reiterates and expands upon the degree to which she was sidelined at the State Department, writing that although "her talent and capabilities were clear from day one,"
...no doubt...
she was stymied by the fact that "the B.O. regime from the outset was White House centered and driven."
Although Clinton, Ross said, was "more sensitive to the Israeli reaction,"
...more than not at all? Golly...
she also "felt it was futile at the outset to fight what she saw as a collective mind-set around Obama." Only after her first year in office, according to Ross, did Clinton begin to challenge the administration's policy of putting "daylight" between the US and Israel, arguing that "the approach was not working and we needed to show greater sensitivity toward the Israelis."

No wonder there are bitter divides. One might almost think Obama is a Muslim (sarc). He did say he was a Muslim; however, most people never saw the clip and then his statement was spun as a slip of the tongue.
