LOL. Most of you desktop heroes would crap your britches and cry for your mommies when the first shots were fired. Without any communications, command structure, knowledge or training in small unit tactics you would be little more than a nuisance to a standing army.
Isnt that what the British expected during the American Revolution?!! Look who came out on top at the end though!!
Yea, I’m sure they’ll be all scared of you with your BAR and groovy Rambo headband. They’ll drop a few rounds of tube launched cluster munitions from 5 miles away, on you and your squad of hillbilly pals, then grab a sandwich.
In 2011 13.7 million people, 6% of the U.S. population 16 years old and older, went hunting. Hunters in the U.S. spent an average of 21 days pursuing wild game.
13.7 MILLION armed folks.........plus an estimated 80 million gun owners in the USA today. Consider you're a commie pinko who would just love to overrun our beloved country.......you've launched a nuke to knock out our electrical grid and now you would like to march in and just take over. Now picture going door to door across the land with a 12 gauge or a 30-06 greeting you all over.......forget the deep South for starters, and the upper Midwest hunters next. Kruschev in the cold war and the Emperor of Japan all took this into consideration in WW2 for real.
We are unique in all the world, when somebody wants to come and kick your teeth in you will want to be hugging any NRA shooter you can find............
You need to get together and get organized so you can have those "organized militias" that the 2A says you need to stop that old tyrannical government...........
Apparently they haven't even heard of cruise missiles, GPS or Submarines.....let alone ICBM's with multiple warheads.
Remember, the OP talked about AFTER we were nuked....like Mad Max, the "hunters" will emerge with radiation burns from their lairs and fight off the drones....of course, they won't be able to communicate even with each other (jammed)....but somehow they will fight off more cruise missiles, drones and other modern weapons.
No one has quoted the famous and true saying....."I'm not sure what weapons WWIII will be fought with, but the one after that would be with sticks and stones". Very true...
You need to get together and get organized so you can have those "organized militias" that the 2A says you need to stop that old tyrannical government...........
Please show us all where it says anything about "organized militias" Otherwise please stop repeating this in every gun thread.
This would be factual if we were fighting on lines with muskets and cannons.
Its all relative though, those were the modern weapons of warfare at the time, it would be no different today, its the old 'david and goliath' scenario, sometimes the little guy beats the huge experienced warrior.
Thats part of the reason why the 2A required NO infringement, the people and the Govt MUST each have the same 'caliber' of weapons, thats the only way to prevent tyranny, Govt must fear what the people could do to some degree.
Men with hunting equipment < tanks, fighter jets, helicopters, and drones. The upper hand went to high technology weapons back in the 1950s. We’ve been reliant on “brains” as much as “brawn” ever since.
That's what everyone that invaded Afghanistan said too.
Actually itt was Admiral Yamamoto who brought up the impossibility of invading the continental US. The famous "rifle behind every blade of grass" quote. Yamamoto knew what kind of a can of whup ass Japan had opened up when they attacked Pearl. His commentary on that was "I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant."
At any rate our armed populace has been considered by every country contemplating invasion. Ever since the Revolutionary war. The British learned the hard way in both the latter war and the war of 1812. Nobody has tried it since then minus a small Japanese incursion in AK in WW2. The Mexican cartels are playing at it with Viet Cong style raids on our Southern border and down there and in the inner cities the Militia needs to form.
The cartels actually need a good spanking from air and sea power and maybe a division of Marines. But since the government won't do what needs doing from where I'm standing the Militia could and should.
Guess what makes up the majority of our military. The same people that everyone thinks can't fight it.
You and I get it. Why these yahoos don't? No military is going to fight militia because most of them are going to be it.
Many old timers like me would grab a rifle and start shooting at invaders to protect our families. I keep 5,000 rounds of ammo on hand for target shooting, so it would last a while.
In the apocalyptic scenario you and the OP are talking about, society would have collapsed. There would be no services, no commerce, etc.
I hope you keep a few thousand pounds of food and other provisions to go with your ammo. Otherwise when the "commies" are coming for you, you'll be begging them for food and handing over your rifle.
