Hmmm... A bunch of Afghani goat-f*ckers have kept a “determined US military force” more than a little occupied for how many years now?

None of mine are registered. None of mine ever will be.

non violent resistance was a strategy, it may have worked in the US and against britain, it won't against leaders in Iran and china. That's already been proven in tiananmen square and in Iran.

The crackdowns on protests in Hong Kong and Iran make me even more rock-certain that we need to get rid of Trump. He loves that kind of thing, stomping on dissenters. He was praises someone - Egypt, maybe - on their lack of protests, which are illegal there.

Lol. Live in your own little world, don’t you?

Bahaha. You are nothing like the Afghanis. You’ll cut and run the first time a bullet whizzes past your head.

An armed population has no chance against a tyrannical government. I'm pro-gun (lifetime NRA member), but the argument that the population needs to be armed for protection from the government is nonsensical. You may be surprised to learn that the military has access to weapons that are vastly superior to anything a civilian has access to.

You really think that the military would kill their friends and family?

So how does surrendering it make that any worse? Maybe one person can't make a stand, but thousands and better yet millions can.

Nope.


Not sure what your statement has to do with the concept that an armed populace could/couldn't resist an earnest government action. Armed citizens will have minimal impact on such an action. Soldier's concern for friends and family will, but that's not what we're discussing.

Many of the military would turn against a government that turns completely bad. They would join the citizens.
