You’re simply wrong. Every general in the world would disagree with you.

In Nevada they numbered in the hundreds, but they came from groups (such as the 3 Percenters) who's numbers go into the tens of thousands.

we should spend more money on it

Everyone arguing against the AR15 is saying small arms can't defeat an army, yet none of them can tell me why we haven't wiped out the Taliban yet.

applause for law and order. one less family of thieves and pretend soldier hanger-ons would be in the US.

You can't claim protection from the 2A and then get mad if it is legally repealed. That's the rules you play by with Constitutional rights.

this is why gun debate is hopeless. the discussion has shifted from the massacre of students to this.

The answer to both those questions is that the politicians are not letting the military do the job correctly.
They where basically not allowed to go after the North Viets in North Viet,that is a huge advantage. Lets hem rest and regroup.
The situation we are in now the reason we are not winning is simple ,you need boots on the ground. Not just a couple hundred but several thousand.Draft needs to be brought back and we need to send in along with allied forces major ground units to take and hold territory and show them they are defeated. Right now we are in a situation similar to what happened in Germany after WW1,yah they lost but they never seen occupation forces and never thought they really lost by being conquered.

See here's why you really cant give into these people who want to ban guns. There's a totalitarian mindset at the center of it that is really dangerous.

I’m not getting mad, but good luck telling people what they are and aren’t allowed to get mad about

You keep telling yourself that is what would happen, but I'd say the 1990s tell us there would be a different and more violent reaction.

repealing it is never going to happen. but you could enact much stricter gun laws and the supreme court would eventually let them slide. they are very susceptible to the political winds.

If you want to find a way to get the Dems to actually lose what could be a wave election, start talking about gun control. The Dems advantage this year is largely due to an enthusiasm gap. Gun control talk is one solid way to close that gap and lose all of the Senate seats the Dems are defending in red states.

I said nothing about an armed insurrection and definitely didn't say any of this was a bad thing.

I'm just playing out the "defend against tyrannical government" thing in our current reality.


But anyway, seems were just back to the inevitable conclusion. Our rights to bear arms...any and all arms...is more important than any amount of dead people/kids.

That's just our reality. I get it.

If you really cared about dead people/kids you wouldn't be attacking the AR-15.

These arguments bore me. Why can't we all agree that 200-300 dead kids every year are a small price to pay for our beautiful 2nd amendment.

Well they would deserve what they got if they took up arms against the government to fight against a legally passed Constitutional amendment.

Keep in mind here the issue isn't the repeal. I don't think it should be repealed. However the gun lobby is offering no solutions at all. America just flat out said it.

The unlikely repeal may be the only shot at any meaningful change.

Fighting a land war on foreign territory and fighting on land that you are familiar with is different. RPB is right.

so apparently if its legal its moral. interesting take, you've just greenlit some pretty abhorrent shit.

a soldier from Florida is going to very adept and familiar with rural Oregon.

So there haven't been so many advancements in weaponry that 300 year old ideas don't work without major updates?

That's surprising. I'll take your word for it.

Doesn't change the fact that Ogie's fantasy about a Bundy group standing up to the US military and winning any less ridiculous.

I am pretty confident that total confiscation would result in an armed revolution regardless of it being completely legal.

If you rightfully stand by your rights based on a Constitutional amendment then you have to accept it is no longer your right when it is repealed.

Right. No amount of dead children will deter us. We're in agreement.

Let's be honest, the soldier from Florida probably has uncles who previously served and are now involved in militias. He and half of his unit are going to desert when given orders to put them down.

Weapons are a lot more advanced. military strategies against superior firepower don’t become invalidated because of super superior firepower though.
