Quote:The strongest nation in the world was held off by a personally armed populace.. Maybe that is why gun ownership is frowned on today over there.The strongest nation in the world was held off by 4000 miles of Atlantic Ocean, the other wars in which it was engaged at the time, our allies, and the fact that the colonies covered several times the area of the British Isles. Firearms were only one small aspect of that war.
If the American Revolution had been a simple pitting of American arms vs. British arms, without all those other factors, the war may never have even started, and certainly would never have been successfully waged.
Quote:we are not talking about using the American military against a group of domestic terrorists. We are talking about the president using the American military to breach the second amendment and turn on 60% of the population.. If that were to happen I would estimate 1/2 if not 2/3s of the armed forces would turn on the government.
When ever a soldier enlists they take an oath to up hold and defend the constitution
First then obey they country's leadership. When asked (especially when serving under an unpopular president) the vast majority credit the defense of this country and the protection of our rights as the primary reason they serve. Not all believe this way but most do.
Then if you were to factor in all of the grey coats who have been waiting for the south to rise again.. Obama or whom ever would have one big mess on their hands.
Some people have been crying about the second amendment being violated for decades. It has been enforced by the law behind it. Nobody's risen up over it. The most we've had is a few redneck sheriffs piss and moan.
