Contemplate moving against an army of 100 million, hidden throught the nation.
Would have worked then but now not so much.
Going downtown to ping city.

Thanks for posting. Yes, it’s certainly worth reading, or reading again for those who saw it earlier.
It seems to me that you can add another factor to what the author says. Yes, the Russians had a tough time against the Chechens and the Afghans, even if it was rifles against planes and tanks. But the battle lines there were clearly drawn.
I’m not at all so sure that the military would follow Obama’s orders singlemindedly if he commanded them to attack American civilians here at home.
Some of them might, certainly, because they are trained to obey orders. And no doubt the leadership would lie to them as best they could about what they were doing and why they were doing it. Still, there would be a lot of hesitation. And it seems to me that an armed populace, fighting back, would increase that hesitation. It’s one thing to load people on trains for the gas chambers, maybe pretending to yourself that you don’t know where they’re going and it’s not your business to know. It’s another to fight them house to house in your own cities.
I’m not sure what the outcome would be. But no question it would be better with an armed citizenry than it would be if the people had no defense against tyranny.

“what good can a handgun do against an army with advanced weaponry, tanks, missiles, planes, or whatever else they might have at their disposal to achieve their nefarious goals?”
It can do lots. Guerilla warfare, baby.

Dr. Jon Belza is honored today on the front page of this week’s Carmel Pine Cone newspaper about being a brave, freedom fighter in the 1944 Warsaw, Poland uprising against Hitler’s invasion. Many brave citizens escaped through the Warsaw city sewers, but thousands of Polish underground freedom fighters lost their lives. See warsawuprising.com
Dr Belza has been invited to the 65th anniversary by the Polish government & leaves today for Warsaw, Poland in honor of those heroes who bravely fought in the freedom fighter’s underground uprising against Adolph Hitler’s overwhelming army.
CNN did a special about the uprising with Dr. Belza in 2004. Congratulations Dr. Belza !!
Random shootings would not succeed. Organized and having a plan is the difference.
Simply having desire and patriotism alone will not have much effect will it?
World wide oppression has occurred time and time again.
Millions dying in the fight. Losing usually.
How to stop the run away train called America's government? they are amassing power daily.

"If every Jewish and anti-nazi family in Germany had owned a Mauser rifle and twenty rounds of ammunition AND THE WILL TO USE IT (emphasis supplied, MV), Adolf Hitler would be a little-known footnote to the history of the Weimar Republic."

I like the exchange that once supposedly occurred between two men, a German and a Swiss:
“What would you do if your country were invaded by an army twice the size of your forces?”
“Shoot twice and go home.”

Bump for later.
