I think it's worth mentioning that the total number of military personnel is between 2 and 3 million. Gun owners in thw US are about 1/3 of all adults. In other words, there's between 35 and 55 gun owners for every soldier. Add to that that many of those very same gun owners are soldiers themselves.

And citizens may not have everything the government does, but we do have two things that could do far more damage than nukes - computer hackers and electromagnetic pulses.

Correct- that is why China once said that you could NEVER invade The USA because there would be “a gun under every blade of grass”

"...we do have two things..."


Unsure if anyone in my neighborhood has an electromagnetic pulse weapon or not.

1. You can’t buy it back. You didn’t sell it to me in the first place. In the second place, it isn’t for sale.

2. You, congressman, have threatened me with violence. I will respond appropriately.

3. F off

That any Congressman would even think of nuking citizens of this country is sick. It shows what a power trip they’re on. If such an unspeakable event was carried out by the government, it wouldn’t end the insurrection, it would inflame it.

All this is is socialists applying the Hegelian Dialectic of incrementalism to inch towards their long term goals through a series of short term “smaller” goals.

We really need to purge out the socialists from this country.

If they start rounding them up you might as well turn them in bullets-first, because once they have your guns the next step will be the death camps.

Typical Left Wing claptrap. You can’t buy back what never belonged to the government in the first place.

Maybe we could have a night where we smash all the windows of their businesses and homes. We could call it KrystalNacht.

This happened weeks ago. Took a while for the Author to catch up I guess.

And how many of the military does this petty little Fascist believe would actually turn their guns on the population rather than on him?

This FOOL with diarrhea of the mouth just shows why we SHOULD keep all weapons.

'Supposedly' T Jefferson had said

"THE BEAUTY OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS THAT IT WILL NOT BE NEEDED UNTIL THEY TRY AND TAKE IT".

And, if he didn't he surely should have AND would have if he had thought it.

“I’m telling you this is not the 18th Century. The argument that you would go to war with your government if an assault weapons ban was in place is ludicrous and inflames the gun debate, which is what you want.”

That will come as a great comfort to the family of slain Seattle-area anti-gun activist Tom Wales. Hey, after just 18 years, they might finally have a suspect... if they can extort some perjurer to blame President Trump.
