State of the Union, swirling down the tubes?
#32
RE: State of the Union, swirling down the tubes?
If you are a Democrat and you aren't a proponent of responsible gun ownership and use as a civic responsibility or a civic duty then you are screwed.

According to a gallup poll:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/21496/gun-own...crats.aspx

Over half of Republicans have firearms in their household. Only a third of so called independents and only a third of Democrats have firearms in their homes. Not only do Republicans have firearms in their household, but 40 percent of Republicans personally own a firearm. There are multiple firearms and multiple people that own and use them in some Republican households. Only a quarter of so called independents and only a quarter of Democrats personally own a firearm. 70 percent of Republicans who own a gun actively use it. (I'm defining active use as target shooting or hunting.) Only 50 percent of Democrats who own a gun actively use it.

40% of Republicans personally own a firearm.
70% of those people actively use their firearm.
25% of Democrats personally own a firearm.
50% of those people actively use their firearm.

Let's say there are about 230 million adults in the United States. (We're just using this number as a reference. I have no doubt that those dirty Republican bastards would arm their preteen children.)

I can't find any detailed information about the political affiliation of the American people. Let's just put half on the conservative side of the 'political spectrum' and half on the liberal side of the 'political spectrum'.

Rough numbers:

Democrats: 115 million adults.
Republicans: 115 million adults.
Democrats: 29 million personally own a gun.
Republicans: 46 million personally own a gun.
Democrats: 14 million actively use a gun.
Republicans: 32 million actively use a gun.

Republicans essentially have a 2 to 1 advantage in a shooting war.

Couple this with a military which is primarily funded, operated, and staffed by Republicans and we are vastly out manned, out equipped, and out experienced.

Democrats not owning and knowing how to use a firearm are cutting their dicks off and shoving them up their asses and then begging Republicans to fuck them over.

Democratic campus organizations and political organizations should make continued involvement with the National Guard or ROTC, gun ownership, gun registration, and regular target practice a requisite for membership.

It's the only way we'd stand a chance to defend ourselves if Republicans attacked us. If worse came to worse it is the only way we could stand a chance to stage a successful revolution.
