It’s sad, in a way, that each crop of new gun grabbers seems to recycle the stupid “arguments”, thinking that they’ve come up with a novel, and dispositive line of reasoning that proves the pro-freedom side wrong.
In this case it’s a variant of the “you can’t fight the US military with a rag-tag group of civilians armed with puny AR-15’s”.
Which I’d be willing to stipulate, just to shut them up for a second. The point being, I’ve never heard a pro-gun Patriot talk about fighting the US military (in fact, a huge percentage of us gun nuts are either active duty, veterans, or part of military and law enforcement families).
No, the tyrants by and large don’t tend to wear kevlar helmets. They wear business suits, and sit in wood-paneled rooms, and stand before microphones and shred the constitution and our God-given freedom with their lying honeyed words.
Which is a good thing, because those cats, them, we can fight.
It’ll come to that before the end, but it would be refreshing if the other side would stop with the straw men.
“you can’t fight the US military with a rag-tag group of civilians armed with puny AR-15’s”
This statement by the gun grabbers flies in the face of recent military history. In the last hundred years, there are many examples of rag-tag groups defeating superior forces or forcing superior forces political leaders to the bargaining table. An example of the former is Castro overthrowing Batista with less than 1,000 men from the Sierra Maestra Mountains. Of the later, the Provisional Irish Republican Army, with AR-15’s, forced the nuclear armed United Kingdom to the conference table. Currently the PIRA’s former leader Martin McGuiness is a deputy minister in the Northern Ireland government.
