[MD] Here come the censors

No Arlo - that's exactly what I was talking about.

[Arlo]
Well that makes no sense to me. Yes, "the people" own the nuclear missiles, but we (neither you nor I) have any power over them; when they are used, who they target, where they are kept. They are "owned" by us in semantics only.
This discussion was about whether or not YOU as a private citizen should have access, personal access, to the same weaponry the military uses. This means that if the military owns tanks, then you should own a tank. And by "own" I mean sitting in your driveway at your beck-and-call.


woods:
No Arlo, that's what you kept trying to steer this discussion into a 
citizens versus military issue.  That was your dividing line, not mine.  
But don't dip back into this, it would only probably confuse the topic.  
Go back to what you've finally realized I've been talking about all 
along.

Arlo:
Otherwise what's the problem, by definition the military can NEVER own anything you do not, since you own everything they have.

woods:
That doesn't pertain to what I'm saying.  You may think it does, but it doesn't.
