I'd almost forgotten about this post, the noncom who lent his picture in uniform to the IANSA global gun grab effort.
Someone claiming to be him finally replied, and since very few of you go back to read comments to old posts I thought I'd bring them to the forefront:
The Spiderman idea would be completely between you and the copyright holder on the image--although a mask might not be a bad idea.
And the regs do apply to retirees--the section on retirees specifically references the section of the regulations I cited in my original post (see 30-7, pg. 316).
As for: "I want all gun owners to be responsible members of a lawful society."
No problem. The wording of their "5 Golden Rules" ensures that private gun ownership can be disqualified, so all gun owners will be lawful in the IANSA/Control Arms global society you're supporting. That's because all gun owners will be the ones dictating the law. But for the life of me, I can't tell the difference between most of them and the "gang members" you don't condone.
Now we come to me being a "simple little militant" who needs to "damn well leave [you] alone" for "voicing [your] earned right of free speech." Well, that tells me all about you right there, and why you have such affinity for UN-style controls and "human rights," which are dictated, defined and limited by the global body (and thus revocable), and overseen by these enlightened humanitarians.
News flash: This ain't Starship Troopers. I know you consider yourself an "Only One" with special "earned rights," but here they are unalienable, a birthright, endowed by our Creator. No one has authority to tell me I have or haven't earned them. I am entitled.
A uniform alone does not bring honor, considering the likes of Benedict Arnold and Lon Horiuchi once wore one. The military heroes I revere are the ones who bring honor to the uniform, not the other way around. From what I can see, assuming you actually are what you represent yourself to be, you're now bringing disgrace to it.
And what's this race card crap? Is that your way of keeping others from criticizing you for personal deficiencies? That doesn't play here. We defiant gun-owning men and women stand as individuals--the groups we belong to are secondary. Besides, you're the one who appears to be hiding a Hispanic surname from your Control Arms post.
And as for you siccing NSA on me, I learned a long time ago never to make threats I wasn't prepared to back up--it just makes people who do so look like impotent fools, and ones who do so anonymously look even more ridiculous. And you call me a "pathetic little turd"?
Go ahead though. Let's see whatcha got. I've never ducked from a threat of "official" reprisal. Use your awesome connections and dispatch them to my door. I'll have a few questions for them of my own, starting with "Do you have a warrant?"

I am retired. I do not have any recent pictures of me out of uniform. Therefore, I am not violating any regulations. Check that if you want, but I am not representing the Army. If I had a picture of me in a Spiderman costume would you be so offended? I think not. So, if I am retired and the picture is a couple of years old, the regulations do not apply to me. That is sufficient an answer as you are going to get regardless of whether you all think you know the regulations or not.
Sincerely, retired Senior Non-Com

Anonymous said...I'll reply to the "highlights" such as they are--and let me qualify this by stipulating I have no idea if the anonymous commentator is who he represents himself to be. I'll proceed as if he is.
You will also note that I do not condone gang members in my former line of endeavor. I want all gun owners to be responsible members of a lawful society. And if you open you eyes you will see on my old uniform that I have the Army Lapel Pin on my lapel. Meaning, I am either a. retired, or have been Honorably discharged. And judging by my former rank, (which I get to keep the title long after I am retired), I am long past my contractual obligations to the Army or the Armed Forces. And you are right, you are just a simple little militant who knows nothing about anything except how to attack persons you should damn well leave alone for voicing their "earned" rights of free speech as opposed to those who feel entitled by birth or racist affiliations. I hope next time you check your facts before you find the NSA at your door asking you questions. You pathetic little turd.
Retire that.
