Something I posted on another thread:
1. No modern army has ever defeated an indigenous population on thier own land. Think Vietnam, Afghanistan, Chechenya, Iraq, and Afghanistan again
2. If your premise were true only 2% of people who join the military would cut it in combat since they are taken from the overall population.
No modern army in a WAR hasn't, but what about a military with an overkill of destructive toys, and does not care about civilian casualties? Fighting a war where human rights have to be upheld, and civilian casualties have to be few is much different than armed civilians going up against a very powerful military with no regard for who lives. War is different than genocide.edit on 17-12-2012 by CuriousR because: Fix text.edit on 17-12-2012 by CuriousR because: (no reason given)
short of mind control methods, that will never happen.
If the Armed forces of America and its government turn against its people
apparently you're not very good at supporting your own assertions, either.

I'm not remotely confused. I simply understand the big picture far better than you do.
You people and your fear of a future dystopia. I mean seriously. Get over it.

Just want to say it's sad about all these nuts killing innocent people. Thats why I believe it's every decent citizens right to arm and protect themselves. Our idiot politicians actually seem to believe that banning assault rifles and certain types of ammunition will make these crimes occur less. Here's the truth it won't and if any laws are passed violatiing our rights to protect ourselves, this country's streets will run red with innocent blood. I believe if we we're more like Israeli's we'd be a hell of alot better off. Oh and if you don't understand the Israei bit there look up some of their mandatory schooling. I wouldn't be entirely imposed.
if you believe freedom is not worth fighting for, so be it.
there is nothing worth fighting for
gunowners.org...
Guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year—or about 6,850 times a day.(1) This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives
- snip -
A study claiming "guns are three times more likely to kill you than help you" is a total fraud. Even using the low figures from the Clinton Justice Department, firearms are used almost 50 times more often to save life than to take life.(15) More importantly, however, the figure claiming one is three times more likely to be killed by one’s own gun is a total lie:
* Researcher Don Kates reveals that all available data now indicates that the "home gun homicide victims [in the flawed study] were killed using guns not kept in the victim's home."(

and would you believe -->
[color=amber]A Research 2000 poll found that 85% of Americans would find it appropriate for a principal or teacher to use "a gun at school to defend the lives of students" to stop a school massacre.

No. I support the second amendment but, the idea that a mob of people with guns could stop and organized miltary force is beyond silly. They would be slaughtered in a stand up fight and if they were truly facing ruthless power like the NWO then any type of attempt at a guerilla actvity would lead to the exteremination of entire citiies. What you see in Iraq and Afganistan is the West who has revuslion from killing civilians or comitting mass murder. The first time you rebel against a true tyranical power they will act like the Germans when Heydrich was assasinated and destroy to villiages and the people that lived in them. So you can put away the fantasy that gun ownership in the US is some sort threat to truly tyranical power because it is not.
