Hannibal waged a 17 year war that he had no business winning to begin with. The fact that he lasted that long attests to his greatness.
Hannibal was able to play havoc with the vaunted Roman legions. Alexander would have adapted his tactics to match the Romans. It would have been a hotly contested war.
Better hope Obama isn't impeached. Do they have inaugural balls for Vice-Presidents who finish out a term? If they do you could be headed for more bandwidth woes.
I like to study it because I am fascinated by the evolution of ideas. Sometimes I would rather read what historians are saying about one another than the historical subject itself. Why that is I have no clue.
I may be incorrect here, but I believe militias are for the defense of the states primarily. That can mean to defend them from a tyrannical Federal government which is how the South interpreted it obviously.
I don't believe there are any provisions in the Constitution about overthrowing a state government. The Federal government wouldn't allow it anyway. If you are going to overthrow your state you would have to overthrow the Federal government first. One could argue that the states are inviolate and perpetual entities whereas the Federal government is not. The Union is perpetual and unbreakable, but the Federal government only exists to protect that union and help it function as it should. When the Federal government ceases to perform in this fashion, it is to be discarded and rebuilt so that it can.
It is a personal right even if the states regulate it. The individual right to bear arms is a given, but the State can know who has them just in case they need to gather them as a militia against a federal or foreign army.
I believe this to be correct.
I have no issue with the States keeping records of firearms. The powers not divested to the Federal Government are reserved for the States. To be honest, I trust my State government far more than I trust the imbeciles in Washington.
That helmet doesn't look like anything from the 1 B.C. that I'm aware of. It looks too “modern.” Interesting.
I seriously think that citizens should be able to buy fully automatic rifles without the Class III crap.
It's like I have been telling you guys, archaeologists are great for unearthing the past, but it's not their job to interpret it. That's for historians to do.
