    If you’re under the impression that the military could win against the armed populace of the United States, you really shouldn’t be commenting on this topic due to your lack of knowledge.

      And you are going to do what exactly against an F-35 or drone strike with your guns? Please explain how you would stop the US military with any amount of guns.

      It’s statements like these that make me wish those morons actually tried to run into Area 51, just so we have a case of a) Military definitely shooting at their own citizens (your cops are quite good at this anyway I heard) and b) a demonstration of the sheer efficiency of a trained military squad against mostly untrained civilians who think they are the greatest of them all….

      You’re one nuke away from getting proven how shit your take is.

      This isn’t the 1800s. War isn’t just whose side has the biggest numbers or the fanciest guns or the smartest strategies. You will die in a full-on confrontation against your government. You and your quickly propelled metal hold no power in the face of the type of destruction that has now been possible for decades.

      But yeah, go ahead and hold on to those guns, it seems like it helps you sleep at night.

      Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

            That would really depend on some kind of big event that riles everyone up. That’s precisely why the goalposts are moved slowly.

            The important thing I think is to be able to defend against crooked cops on a smaller scale as well as the crack heads problem they’re not really fixing.
