This bullshit and tripe is not even worthy of my time.

All I have to say is that I'm not a white supremacist or a nazi, and that I will not give up my firearms. It won't be from my cold dead hands. It just flat out won't happen. Period, end of story.

It should be worthy of your time in that it should be exposed for what it is.
Advance invasin prep.
It should be exposed for that not ingored.
If the left's connection with Hanoi had been more exposed during the VN conflict then perhaps the effect could have been mitigated.
They realise that armed citizens are what they fear and are beginning their attack.
The Chinese are doung the same thing with Taiwan with the constant effort to surround and isolate the island with small moves that add up.
Tsun Szu said to win by preventing your opponent from firing a shot is better than war.
This is a tactic of war.

I never did understand that logic. You are in imminent danger, chaos is about to break loose in your midst, so give us your guns to assure that you can't protect yourself.
Guns don't cause havoc. Lawless people using guns cause havoc. Good people using guns have at least a chance of mitigating havoc, and there are more good people than bad.

Quite frankly, the idea of the citizenry rising up against the U.S. government with their handguns and assault rifles, and facing the military with these personal arms is absurd. The Branch Davidian tragedy at Waco, Texas, was one such futile attempt.

And don't forget the futile attempt by the people at the Alamo to rise up against their government armed as they were with just their handguns, rifles, and Bowie knives. There's no way they could stand up to the might of the Imperial Mexican Army. How dare they think their actions could influence the destiny of a thing called "Texas" since they all were killed there.

I wonder what this moron thinks would happen to the mighty US military if even one fifth of the American people rose up and seized control of or destroyed it's support base?

He probably doesn't realize which side the military would be on. If something were to happen that would cause insurrection on that large a scale, it's quite possible that the military's artillery would be directed down upon Washington, Berkeley, San Francisco, and so forth rather than going door-to-door confiscating people's weapons.

How does this grab you? San Francisco is trying to pass a law that all private ownership of handguns be abolished. It says that all people will be safer.

time for Americans to reconsider the value of public gun ownership.

I oppose public ownership of guns. All guns should be in private hands.

I call BS on the author of the piece.

If some looney Mohammedan cuts loose with a pistol in the mall, I'm not only hoping for an armed Citizen to take him out, I'm COUNTING on it.

Yeah, man. I read the tripe spewed by the author, and immediately thought of your book.

And I have to say that the excepts from your latest scared the living hell out of me. But I can't wait to read what Rayna does to screw those turd world Marxist b@stards over!

Ever read any of the "Draka" novels by Steve Stirling? Scary, scary alternate history stuff, man. "Take history, and make it worse." (And hence, my screen name heh heh)

...it seems reasonable that scaling back or even repealing the right to bear arms would be an easy task.
In fact, it will be a very difficult task.

Indeed.

The answer to the author of this breathtakingly ignorant piece is simply "no." When one is threatened by people with guns the appropriate response is decidedly not to voluntarily give up one's own means of self-defense. It's to shoot back. And we do that. And quite frankly, we do it quite a bit better than those who threaten us. And we're going to continue to do that.

Maybe I wasn't the only one who noticed that most of the states with extensive civillian port facillities have onerous gun laws..CA, NY, NJ, MD, to name the first to come to mind. I always thought this was part of Bubba's master plan to open us to invasion by the Chinese....

If it came down to that, most of them would join us. Hell, most of them ARE us. Consider that the backbone of the military consists of my Scots-Irish Southern and Midwestern cousins.

Liberal sissies go to the academic ivory tower, and rely on people like us to defend them from the barbarians. And what thanks do we get for our sacrifices? We get labeled as genocidal baby killers.

So to hell with them.

In other lands throughout history, Mr. Afeef's proposal to disarm the citizenry during wartime would have been greeted with great hostility and gotten him a swift ticket to eternity for being in league with the enemy.

LMOA Hell yeah! Even the thrice-damned and cursed Soviets broke out arms for the citizens during WW2 to fight the Nazi horde.

50 percent of owners were NOT male, 57 percent were NOT white, 52 percent were NOT Republican.

What's this moron's point ?

I caught that, too. I've recently seen articles that use a 25-percentile to justify their point. Have these people no shame?

The Chinese are doung the same thing with Taiwan with the constant effort to surround and isolate the island with small moves that add up.

And that's why "someone" should covertly provide the government in Taipei with a few nuclear-tipped "gifts" to wave in front of the ChiComs.
