true. but i really doubt they will do it this way. the Adminstration has the balls to just flat out ban them and damn the laws.



as some others said the 2nd was put in to re-take the goverment. personally i feel that time has been long past. Also it would be damn impossible to do now. they have already restricted weapons that we would need.

i'm sure if we really needed them, we could get them. criminals don't seem to have much problem getting them.

The time is not long past. You can still do your voting from a rooftop if need be.

No, not really. History is full of examples of citizens with mainly small arms successfully resisting major military powers.

Just look at which party wants you to be disarmed. Have you ever asked yourself why? They don't want any resistance to what they have planned for our future. If you want to completely throw this country away continue to vote for Democrats as they don't think you are smart enough to run your own life and plan on doing it for you.

Do you have any basis for this theory?

Not to mention bipartisan politics are a joke in today's times. The leaders on both sides run things the way they see fit. The average person has very little they can do to control this with voting being so rare by the masses.

Theres more than enough guns to go around (probably even assault weapons). It's the ammo that would be in short supply (which brings us back to the original post).

There would likely also be a lot of dissention among military troops as well.

It doesn't have to be a full takeover and defeat. You have to be enough of a thorn to get things changed.

Not to mention the fact that I doubt you would find very much willingness in our military for an all out assault on the civilian population of the US. Much like the Civil War the military would likely split among the opposing sides bringing along whatever equipment and armaments they are in control of.

Well, I have letters to all of my congressman about this.

Just got to get the donation to the NRA out today.

Exactly...if it came down to it the 'people' would not necessarily trying for a defeat. They would stick to guerella tactics and always make control a risk.

Winning a war on your own soil against yourself would require a high level of collateral damage acceptance (basically level any problem areas even if there are those on your side in them)...it's a no-win situation as when your followers see you killing innocents just to quell a threat they should lose their sense of personal value to the cause.

I disagree.

It is one thing to send American military forces to "control" an unarmed populace that is getting rowdy.

It is very different to order those same soldiers into battle with an armed populace of their fellow countrymen. If you where a soldier how comfortable would YOU be launching an attack on a widespread revolt of American citizens? I would bet that a large number would agree with the revolt. I would also bet that a large number, even if they did not agree with the revolt, could not bring themselves to storm an American city.

Hell, a 10th of the country with pump action shotguns and side arms could get the job done, at least if the rest of the country agreed with their cause.
