wild cat mccane has a history of posting anti-2A stuff. Don't pay his trolling any mind - it'll embolden him further if you do.
Ask the Syrian government how that's working out for themYea the jets, choppers, tanks, & smart bombs are quite the disparity. I'm not real sure how that would work today.
It also happened in Athens Georgia with slightly different details in the summer of 1946, but it followed the same pattern of government tyranny followed by armed rebellion. Is it any wonder they want us disarmed?

I too think that statement is very close to the truth.Yes, but precious few would have the 'stomach' to stand up and use them!
We have (to a large degree) become a Nation of Cowards.
Flint.
And as they say "Those who do not study history are destined to repeat it".
We're withdrawing from Afghanistan with our tails between are legs, as did the Soviets and British before us, backed down by goat herders with "primitive" weapons.
We have a major election every two years where we get to fine tune the gov't to our liking.
If God be with us, who can be against us? If God had not been with our Founding Fathers, we would all be under British rule.
Funny how God is proclaimed to have been on the winning side. Based on religious battles over the centuries, apparently having God on your side does not assure success in battle. This isn't a religious issue and proclaiming it as one is silly.
We no longer have a Democracy. We have a defacto Corporatism. We were founded as a Republic. We're getting deeper in the hole.All this talk about "us vs. the gov't!" never ceases to amaze me. Have you all lost faith in democracy? We have a major election every two years where we get to fine tune the gov't to our liking.
I would think that the revolution would take place at the voting booth LONG before it ever came to arms.
I think you're probably right.My main fear isn't mass confiscation attempts and battles vs the government. I truly don't think that will happen.
The gun grabbers know that an attempt to forcefully disarm the American public would end in bloodshed. They're not going to attempt it outright. They're going to keep clipping away little by little at our rights. There will be no defining moment in the process I don't think. It will just get more and more strict until one day, many years down the road, gun rights will be a thing of the past.
The reason I think this is that the next generation will be a little more apt to accept it than the previous one, and the next a little more and so on and so forth. I'm afraid we are a dying breed that lives and breathes gunsmoke. I'm young, only 33 but I am aware that my generation as a whole has less die hard 2A supporters than the last. And I suspect it will only get worse. I'm doing what I can raising my child to cherish the RKBA and never give it up under any circumstances, but I really think in 50-60 years it will be drastically different.
I hope like hell I'm wrong.
