The people of Egypt, Syria, Libya among other nations have risen up in arms against their tyrannical governments.
We have supplied the "rebels" with weapons that help them fight their government forces.
Gun grabbers have no concept of this.
"It can't happen here", right?
seriously -
1 - there have been multiple "uprisings' within the US where guns were used against the federals. The 2nd amendment was not used as justification.
2 - using guns against the govt. is "treason" regardless of your feeling toward the administration or the government.
3 - the US Govt has a full military as well as a Civilian police force . . .
4 - IF the military took over, or a dictator took over. . .it would be easy for them to abolish laws that stood in their way . . .and the 2nd amendment would cease to exist, and your guns would go away.
Only a uninformed person would mistake the 2nd amendment for anything other than it is. That they had no standing army when it was written and that they were afraid of a disarmed state being invaded by britian or some other power. So they created the 2nd amendment so that these colonists could have guns against a foreign invasion (Tyranny of King George)
The fact that the NRA has bought and sold our govt. and morphed these regulations into things they aren't so they can sell more guns doesn't change the original intention. it just proves democracy is up for sale.
It can't happen here. If the people of the United States decided to violently overthrow the government, it wouldn't last long. The military has jets, drones, tanks, anti-material rifles, claymores, etc. What would do the U.S. people have? A lot of guns. Guns don't do much against unmanned planes.
The government would have to man those weapon systems and if there were a General Uprising the odds of them being able to man them, no less retain them is slim to none.

It only takes two or three men to launch nuclear missiles.

The ignorance is astounding. The UN has no real power to do anything other than send some peacekeepers to third world countries, and even those aren't very effective. Not to mention, the US runs the Security Council more than the other way around, and the UN was created to promote peace and understanding.. Tinfoil hats aren't good for your hair, they cause dandruff.
Yes, it was, I'm speaking of the internet heroes and their calls for revolution now. It's a whole different ballgame now, guy.
Derp right back atcha.
Your argument is still stupid...
"Because there was a revolution that led to Fidel Castro in power... any future revolution would lead to the same result."
Are REALLY you saying modern America is a different ballgame than 1776 America... but it is NOT a different ballgame than 1950's Cuba?
If you can't predict the outcome based on the American revolution it is JUST AS STUPID to say that you can predict the outcome based on the Cuban revolution.
