The hell are you talking about? You keep saying that civilians given rifles are suddenly part of the military, but they are NOT.

I asked you what I should do if white supremacists start hanging minorities again, and you completely ignored the question because you've got nothing, and then I guess you directed me here.

but they are NOT.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramilitary

I asked you what I should do if white supremacists

white supremacist shouldn't have access to automatic weapons (or preferably any weapons), which is exactly what this debate is about.

And that is not an answer to the question I asked.

Paramilitary is not military.

I asked you, what I should do, if white supremacists, begin lynching minorities. Again. What is your solution to this problem? Not what is your pipe dream for reality?

Paramilitary is not military.

i suggest you take a deep breath and try to decide what you are arguing, because at this point i seriously doubt you know that, you are just in opposition to anything.

What is your solution to this problem?

do you seriously believe that more automatic weapons is going to fix the problem?
