Only if our politicians allow it and if that happens, they had better be ready to leave!
I'd like to take a poll of the Freepers.
How many handguns and rifles do you own?
Do you regularily shoot them?
Do you store a lot of ammo with your weapons?
Which weapon would you use on a La Raza dude that was trying to light up your brand new Chevy pickup truck?
That is one of the reasons the US Army is so good. Recuits already know how to use a rifle and use it well. Unlike Euro Armies were recuits have never even seen one prior to joining up. That's one reason why the civil war was so bloody, both sides were very good shots.
Were the Raza ever to get organized for mayhem they would be formidible. Lots of them are already organized into gangs, sets, and colors. Today they focus on dealing drugs and petty crime and manage to accomplish lots of both with near impunity. Think about your suburban neighborhood being invaded by 40 career criminal, prison hardened Azatlan "rioters". How many houses would even be able to put up a fight?
Another issue is that while most of the Paris suburbs is built of reinforced concrete (good small arms cover) which is fireproof, most of suburban LA, Dallas, San Jose, etc. is wood frame. Thus the arson in a future U.S. scenario will not be limited to cars but include lots of buildings. This was the case in all previous U.S. Riots.
I love my guns as much as the next red-blooded American but I don't believe they alone will prevent widespread death and destruction if an oranized uprising (which is clearly what we are seeing in France, despite the media lies) were to take place here.
My previous post for your comment.
* Declining levels of firearms ownership and the drop in the popularity of hunting
* More areas, especially in the Southwest, developing Hispanic majorities due to a lack of political will to control immigration (If the Feds would close the borders, within 50 years, Mexican Americans would be well on the way to assimilation, as happened with Southern and Eastern Europeans after restrictive laws in the 1920s effectively ended immigration therefrom.)
* The declining birthrate among Anglo whites
* the numbing effect of a popular culture and education system that fails to encourage self-reliance and dealing with reality
* The ongoing effects of moral degeneracy and deviancy, as well as political correctness, on the ability of the white population to resist minority aggressiveness
* Lower percentages of military veterans in the overall population compared with Baby Boomers and earlier generations
* The continued festering of the criminal and anarchic cesspools in black ghettos from Boston to Los Angeles, as well as the ongoing recruitment of blacks into Islam
We may sneer at the French, but are we looking into our future 20-30 years from now? Throw in an economic recession and possibly an American military defeat against China or radical Islam. The trends are not good.
What happens if you try to shoot them in the legs, but miss and hit their heart or their head.
I could see that happening a lot.
ALL OF US CAN LEGALLY CARRY. WE HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO BE AT LEAST AS WELL ARMED AS A US ARMY INFANTRYMAN.
WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING PERMITS, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE STATE AND LOCAL JOHNNY LAW SAYS.
I'm sorry for yelling.
They can and will but it won't happen until the Government confinskates all privately owned firearms. Which will probably happen when the Democrats regain power.
I've got the same reasons!
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU!!!!!!!
Virginia has open carry laws as well as shall issue CCW...
You're forgetting one important fact: The majority of lawful gun owners are a much better shot than these gang banging thugs you claim will wipe the map so to speak. Heck, I live in PA, there is a literal army of deer hunters/snipers. I would be scared if I was them, not the other way around...
You are right about that. When they come to burm my car, house, or anything else so long as the Good Lord gives me the strength to pull a trigger and gunpowder burns, I'll make a believer out of some of them.
