    In that situation, certainly. Against a peer or near-peer opponent, armored cavalry can still be used for screening and other missions.

    Literally every post you've made in this thread. Hell, scroll up to the post you made just before mine.

    Why do I not believe you?

    Seriously? Have you read my posts? None of them contain a proposal for new legislation or imposing any form of restrictions. I've "proposed," if you want to call it that, that gun owners take their responsibilities seriously, and that it would be good for children to learn basic outdoor skills, which would include the rules for safe handling and operation of firearms. Everything else you're getting is an assumption on your part.

    Probably because we've tangled over campus speech codes in the past. This isn't the thread to get into it again, but suffice to say I am definitely not in favor of speech being restricted by the government on the grounds that it is hateful or offensive.

    Yeah, that's why I'm saying what I'm saying.

    Which illustrates what I've said. :bailey:

    Then name one restriction of freedom I've proposed, should be easy to find.

    Not if you understand the difference between unconstitutional restrictions imposed by the government, and rules with which students voluntarily agree to comply when they enroll at a university.
