"Something something liberty?"
You said you stayed up late to write this. I think you fell asleep before editing it. haha It's great though, and I read every word!
I know we've been discussing militia for a while now. Here in Virginia they actually have a "militia" panel that operates at the state legislation level to assist law and policy makers. I was surprised to see that in any level of government. Still, the official "Virginia Defense" militia is a joke. They demand you swear an oath to uphold the federal government. Bwah?
"Drive a rifle, or ride a railcar. Your choice."
Using a rifle is one of those skills like riding a bicycle. Everyone should know how to use a rifle, pistol, and motorcycle. Everyone should know how to swim, ride a horse, and survive in the wild too. Why those specific things? Well, they are related to militia operations... ;-)
Left "something something liberty" in for a little comedy lol - assuming people know the cliches I'm implying with that.
