Another gun thread...
RE: Another gun thread...
If the Second Amendment calls for a well-regulated militia, why are gun nuts up in arms about the regulations? Why do you hate the Constitution? WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?

RE: Another gun thread...
You give our military too much credit Napo. They wouldn't be able to suppress an insurrection here any more competently then they were able to secure decisive victories in Vietnam or the Middle East - and for precisely the same reasons.

You've never see any evidence that an AK-47 is a useful tool in overthrowing a government? I think that it's likely that you haven't looked for the evidence then, as the AK-47 is a veritable symbol of rebellion.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Ahh my bad. I guess when people's houses get burgled they know about it in advance.

In many cases yes they do.

No actually, I think you're not giving them enough.

Vietnam and the Middle East are entirely different warzones (on the other side of the planet) and scenarios to fighting against a militia in a country that the US military will know like the back of its hand, a country that already has a massive military infrastructure to enable them to carry out operations within seconds wherever they want in the US.
But sure, it's the same as the Middle East and Vietnam isn't it. Keep telling yourself that.

Do not be so disingenuous as to insinuate that arming the public with an AK-47 will lead to good times and easy rebellions. You and I both know there's far more to it than that, so let's quit the bullshit.

...add to the fact, that throughout the history of uprisings and revolutions against oppressive governments, large portions of the military defected to the side of the citizens.
