I have sympathy for you Americans...
But please stop the "come and get them" speeches online...
You already have the 2nd and intelligent debate to save your firearms...
"Come and get them" doesn't sound like the manifesto of a "well regulated militia"...
It sounds like the anxious ramblings of the trigger happy.
At a fork in the road?
It's quite clear which path needs to be taken...
Other wise a very short, one sided, government sanctioned civil war will rain down on all you innocent gun owners.
Just to add; I'm pro 2nd.
I'm just anti-walk into the bear trap.

Short? No. One-sided? Yes, and not in the way you expect.
Please Augustus, you're smarter than to believe your competently armed civilians could stop the government.
I say competently to highlight a percentage who would actually fight back instead of handing over their weapons to the gestapo...
I say competently to highlight a percentage who will last the first month of an onslaught...
Who do you think NATO will side with?
Your government? Or you?
Who do you think a majority of your military would side with?
Your government? Or you?
You'll be labelled a domestic enemy...
That's how it will go down, that's how the media will portray it, and that's how intelligence services will be advising on military strategy...
And the military are their to protect from domestic enemies.
I'm ranting, apologies.

You, the gun grabber, are a coward. You want to ban all Americans from owning guns.

Your right we will lose to the government but at least most of us would die for what we believe in, wouldn't you?

Absolutely, if it came knocking...
But all I'm saying is don't invite it or get yourselves placed into a bracket of domestic terrorist as many have been l Elle's just because of their online opinions.
Then when that day comes, the military will know it's nothing to do with domestic terrorism, but rather a cowardly nazi agenda.

I will gladly give my weapon over to any Progressive that feels so unsafe and so convinced in their belief that THEY are willing to show their conviction by putting THEIR LIFE on the line! *wink*

They're in cahoots in their respective nations... ie Iraq & Afghanistan...
With no competition and one enemy, the infidel...
The U.S. would be much more like Syria than Afghanistan...
So my entire point, don't give them a reason to label you a domestic enemy, and that's 95% of this war won...

*sigh*
Because the Afghan, Iraqi and North Vietnamese governments had so much to offer in regards assistance.
Do you realize that Al Qaeda numbers only around 25,000 worldwide and they were able to stymie the United States military? Now think about what MILLIONS of well armed Americans can do in an asymmetrical situation. Take Beezer's lowball estimate and subtract the number of service personnel and all branches of law enforcement from his number and there are still tens of millions left on our side.
The U.S. would be much more like Syria than Afghanistan...
Exactly. And how long do you think that would play well on the nightly news when it was taking place here, in the United States? Talk about losing the battle of hearts and minds, they would loose it the first night the military started shooting civilians.
So my entire point, don't give them a reason to label you a domestic enemy, and that's 95% of this war won...
I am not worried about some label, they already know I own firearms.

It sounds like your saying that you'd hand your weapon over to any police officer who asked for it.
