And warnings/infractions would be issued(and warranted I might add), and possibly a thread ban, and that person using those stereotypes would be publicly shamed here beyond belief(also warranted.).The stereotypes that some have insisted on perpetuating in this thread are really appalling. If such stereotypes had been directed at a race, instead of at gun owners in general, or southerners, it would be viewed as a horrible example of bigotry.
What makes you think that gun owners want to overthrow the government? Maybe they want to overthrow tyrrants. What makes you think that only the federal govt is the subject?One of the justifications for a broad interpretation of the second amendment is that it allows citizens the option of overthrowing the government if things get too bad.
In short, since our military has a tanks, missiles, etc, is it even possible?
You know the military would have to be firmly convinced that these people are domestic enemies. Would troops shoot upon their own families or would they consider their orders unlawful? Duty, Honor, Country..... [West Point], well I assume in that order. I think in some minds it would become an issue if the duty to protect the Constitution became a duty to protect the government, if the government is the enemy to the Constitution.That's probably why Hazlnut and the other far-left loons thought victory in Iraq was impossible.
Apparently, our military would decimate an American insurgency within seconds, but quelling an Iraqi insurgency, that's an exercise in futility, what with their bear cavalry...:lol:
And I might add that if it wasn't for all the "redneck" gun owners in the United States demanding that the Second Amendment be respected, we'd still be seeing black people swinging from trees in the South.The stereotypes that some have insisted on perpetuating in this thread are really appalling. If such stereotypes had been directed at a race, instead of at gun owners in general, or southerners, it would be viewed as a horrible example of bigotry.
Actually, the first American gun control measures after the civil war were done in backlash to reconcilliation, former slave owners didn't want the newly freed slaves to have the ability to own firearms. Even before that, slaves were denied the right to bear for fear of retaliation.And I might add that if it wasn't for all the "redneck" gun owners in the United States demanding that the Second Amendment be respected, we'd still be seeing black people swinging from trees in the South.
There was a gun ownership component to Jim Crow that cannot be overlooked.
What exactly does that mean?Sure it is. Just create more lawyers.
yeah, one thing about Delta Force is that they don't mess around. Unlike the American public who says lots of things but don't do anything to back it up. There wouldn't even be a revolution, and yeah ten percent of the population wouldn't be a hard thing to defeat for the military and Delta Force would wipe out the leaders of the rebellion really fast.
This is going basely on memory of mine, but back when Iraq was experiencing like over 100 bombs going off per month, the US military implemented something top-secret and the month after there were fewer than 10bombs going off in the whole of Iraq. The US military holds top secret weapons that are good enough to deal with any guerrilla warfare, like there is this radar that the military can use and it can spot targets on the group regardless if they are using the trees for cover, the radar can still see you. So that would help make guerilla warefare hard. And then again, Delta Force is a really good unit.
You sound like you read this stuff off the back of a cereal box. Get a clue, junior...:lol:
Of course it would be possible. And if necessary, it would be done. I find it amusing that some of us here actually think that everyone in our military and police forces would fight AGAINST a government overthrow. Both sides would have tanks, fighter planes, etc. Because our good boys and girls in the military would be more likely to side with the rebellion than a tyrannical government (because the latter is what it would take for rebellion). You actually think that if our government became so bad that it required a physical citizen coo, all of our brave soldiers would shoot said rebels? Of course not. Many of them would be on the side of the rebels. And most of them would be smart enough to get their hands on heavy equipment prior to jumping ship.
Excellent observation rivrrat!
