  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Chestertons post was

"Threatening", not "interfering with law enforcement".
I’m not concerned with Chesterton’s post I’m making my own point which was that people carrying guns shouldn’t interfere with law enforcement operations like Rob Chadwick said in the video.

To defend is to support and he was supporting the fact that this young man had a AR-15 rifle at a protest.


And I am not a liar.

You though are a denier of Truth and like Trump takes the truth and twist it to your own likings.
And again you still have quoted a single statement Trump made implying that he supported Kyle’s decision to bring a gun to a riot or a protest. Just type the quote from this video where he says anything to that effect. Or better yet let me just go ahead and show everyone here for myself that you’re a liar. Here’s everything Trump said in both of those videos.

We’re looking at all of it. And that was an interesting situation. You saw the same tape as I saw, and he was trying to get away from them, I guess; it looks like — and he fell — and then they very violently attacked him. And it was something that we’re looking at and it’s under investigation but I guess he was in very big trouble he would’ve been, he probably would’ve been killed”

So where’s this statement you’re claiming where Trump is supporting Kyle Rittenhouse bringing a gun to the riot or as you like to disguise it, “a protest”?

I’ll tell you where the statement is, it’s in the imagination of people like you who conjure up claims out of thin air that have nothing to support them. I honestly don’t even know why you posted these videos, did you actually watch them and listen to what he actually said or did you stop at the title?

Enough, if you refuse to see him supporting what Rittenhouse did is supporting him having a gun at a protest - you just keep blindly viewing facts.

Those are unauthorized (illegal) militias. They are not 'well regulated' given that they are not under civil government control.

I'd just like to see them enforce it. They could start with the various illegal, unauthorized militias.
And how exactly are the Minneapolis protesters "well regulated" as a militia? Are they under civil government control? If so, who in the government is controlling them? Would it be the Mayor when he goes on TV to encourage their behavior?

What does that have to do with my opinion on "gun rights"?

The resemblance of the two shootings is only that someone died from shots from federal law officer weapon(s).
The difference is one was a good American who was murdered in cold blood.

I don't think this claim works quite the way you think it does.

No, it works. Because the other was a domestic terrorist breaking the law.

Very fine line between the two. The latter can become the former in the blink of an eye.

Right so even when I quote every word Trump said in the videos you posted you still can’t admit when you’re wrong. Then you accuse me of not seeing what you can’t even prove by the very videos that you posted by just pointing to exactly which statement he made that supports your claim even though I typed everything he said for you in my post just to make it as simple as possible for you.
