Valuable @razibkhan backgrounder on the long and complex history of Afghanistan. "At the time the ancestors of the Pashtuns were fighting and allying with Alexander the Great, the Romans and Greeks were vague as to who might even live in misty Britain." https://t.co/cngzagUdnS — PolitiTweet.org

Important to clarify: as Britain evolved toward democracy, the right to sell titles gradually shifted from the monarch to the fundraisers for the major British political parties — PolitiTweet.org

@joero3 Thanks to civil wars, beheadings, etc., there was sufficient turnover even without a "timer." EG four different families got the Dukedom of Buckingham between the Middle Ages and the title finally going extinct in the late 19th century. — PolitiTweet.org

King James I invented the baronetcy as a way to raise money for his army. Pay the king enough to support 30 solders for 3 years - and you got to call yourself and your heirs "Sir" and "Lady" forever. https://t.co/esvUhTp5M2 — PolitiTweet.org

Selling titles for money is one of the most venerable of British traditions, followed closely by pretending to be shocked by the sale of titles for money. — PolitiTweet.org

Impressive just how radically smoother, easier, faster the District of Columbia Department of Motor Vehicles is today than when I moved to the city in 1996. I'll probably never know how the improvement happened, but I'm grateful for it every time I'm reminded of it. — PolitiTweet.org

But for those who imagine the private gun as their defense against state oppression - the sad record of American history is that the private gun has much more often been used by local tyrants to oppress neighbors peacefully exercising *their* legitimate rights. END. — PolitiTweet.org

A gun to protect yourself against criminal threats? For most people in most places, it's at best a waste of money, at worst a tragedy in the making. For those who truly need it, there should be some system of proper training and licensing. 20/x — PolitiTweet.org

I say all this with zero sympathy for any kind of armed dissident against legal power in a constitutional society like the United States. Got a beef against authority? Use your words and your vote. 19/x — PolitiTweet.org

Today's armed groups likewise enjoy the tacit - or even explicit - permission of local power-holders to intimidate or even terrorize the locally disfavored. 18/x — PolitiTweet.org

This remains true today. Everybody understands what would happen if a group of Muslim Americans shouldered AR-15s and marched to the legislature of a "Constitutional Carry" state under green flags and chanting "Allahu Akbar." 17/x — PolitiTweet.org

Gun rights in the US have never been a tool for the powerless. Gun rights in the US have often been a tool for the locally powerful. 16/x — PolitiTweet.org

Let's leave aside the technical legal issues and just notice this: Herman Presser's socialist band in Chicago 1879: wrong kind of militia, properly suppressed. Knights of the White Camellia and Ku Klux Klan in Louisiana 1872: not the wrong kind of militia, not suppressed. 15/x — PolitiTweet.org
