Can Gun Nuts Please Stop Saying You Need Guns to Protect Yourself From A Potential Tyrannical Government!!!

[Soupnazi630]

It makes you sound mentally challenged.

Having guns is not going to protect you from the police or military. With normal police equipment, SWAT teams, police tactics and fire power etc, they can easily neutralize any armed threat or movement. They wouldn't even break a sweat. Not to mention, police surveillance tactics will make it impossible for an anti-government group to organize a big enough threat to the regime. You don't have a chance. And that is only the police. Your little AR-15 isn't going to do anything to a drone, tank, apache helicopter, fighter jet or combat unit (much less special forces). There is a reason you have not seen a people's uprising to over-throw a government even in Africa in decade. And really only Sudan has been overthrown by a military coup.

No, the only reason you want certain guns (such as a AR-15) is because you like to have them.

It is true the vast majority of gun owners are responsible and good people, including AR-15 owners. But that 1% or 0.05% that are not responsible can cause havoc, as we just saw in Highland park (an event I was on my way to attend and an event to which I know many people that were directly effected).

If you want to hunt, then a single shot hunting rifle will suffice. If it is about home defense, then handguns and shotguns (which as both short-range) would be sufficient.

There are many things that can be done, such as arm teachers, have cops in schools, secure soft targets, better mental health facilities, red flag rules and immunity for snitching, involuntary institutionalization, high standards for gun ownership, higher and minimum sentences for illegal gun possession, Federal no buy lists, vicarious liability for guns for the gun owner etc., but stop with the argument that you need guns for tyrannical governments! Because it is foolish.

There should be a ban on all guns other then single shot hunting rifles, handguns and shotguns.

Now I know handguns are by far the weapon of choice in the vast number of homicides, but so called "assault rifles" (yes I know that is a term the liberals made up) it by far a more sufficient weapon to commit mass murder then a handgun, even if they are semi-automatic (vs full).

Keep sticking to these stances that turn off the moderates (e.g. ban on abortion and do nothing on guns) and then cry about how Demorats can win with gas over $5-6, out of control inflation, major blunders in foreign policy and everyone hating woke politics. If the Demorats keep the House and pick up senate seats you are going to see the most radical changes to this country that we haver ever seen.

You are quite wrong and history proves it,

The right to bear arms is meant to protect against government tyranny and it works

OK, I'll come clean. They're really to protect us against creepy people on internet discussion boards.

Imagine going through life like that.

The Funny is for idiots like you who haven't one word to actually say that can defend a single position you weakly try to proffer around here!

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Leftist never think things through when it comes to American soldiers shooting American civilians.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Case ya havent noticed police forces cant maintain regular order right now.....they got no shot if the ball drops

 

[Blackrook]

The Revolutionary War and every one of the 10,000 other wars won by the people against a tyrannical government prove the OP wrong.

 

[Red Front]

The Vietnamese is another good example of how people can resist a more powerful, better-equiped military. The American people must remain armed.

Mac has a point. We are all just terrified! I mean, seriously, what fool here really fears their government? It isn't like our president would send the FBI after mothers just for wanting a good education for their children! RELAX! RELAX! No job? No money? No mask? No gasoline? No reserves? No economy? No supply chains? No hope in Ukraine? No energy? No infrastructure?

Don't worry! Tater is right on top of it!!!!

 

[1srelluc]

What did it end up costing you?

$450.00 OTD.....It was unfired.....A couple weeks ago I passed on a lightly used Beretta 92FS they had there....Glad I did.

I already have a surplus Beretta 92S that I got off a guy that worked for Beretta in MD and had it refinished there. It's a joy to shoot despite the mag release location. Next to my Eastern Block era CZ-75 it's my favorite full sized 9mm. Smooth as silk.

You American liberals are the problem, it's not gun ownership or Americans owning combat rifles. You can't even define what a woman is anymore and you're subjecting children to dangerous hormone treatments and sex reassignment surgery, then you wonder why people are going postal? You want to blame guns, but you fail to see that the problem is our modern culture, fueled by capitalist decadence. Much of all of this gender confusion, feminism, the breakup of the traditional family, the pornography, is all the result of profit pursuing capitalists exploiting human vice and attempting to control consumers and what they consume.

Why are there so many people today hooked on anti-depressants? More than ever today, we have a mental health crisis. You want to disarm good, law abiding Americans? Why would anyone want to disarm the populace? You're not going to protect them by doing that. The working-class, the American people should always remain armed. If anyone is going to be disarmed, let it be the capitalists. The wealthy elites, the bankers, disarm them. Disarm the politicians, but arm the people. Working families, the average, law abiding American should always have access to firearms, especially combat rifles. Your assumption that Americans can't organize a guerilla force and fight tyranny shows how naive and ignorant you are of warfare.

You do know that most workers work for small businesses like mom and pop stores. These are the true capitalists. I feel you don't know what capitalism is by your words. Everything else is good thought and why we have problems with our young people. But, it's not because of capitalists for it's the socialist Democrats who are pushing the woke indoctrination of our country. It's the Republican capitalists who are fighting against this wokeism that is destroying the fabric of this nation that you are attacking. Take an economics course from a capitalist and you will understand the difference between capitalism and socialism.

I love the 92FS. I sold one back in 2015 which is why I asked. I still have lots of accessories for it and have been thinking about getting another, they are basically the same gun as the one you just bought and like you said, the 92 has a magazine release I like better--- easier for me to drop the magazine with the trigger hand in one smooth motion while retaining my grip as I reload with the other.

 

[ozro]

I, for one, have never stated why I may or may not own guns, or any weapons, traps, body armour, razor wire.
I never will

 

[scruffy]

These people are terrified. They've always been paranoid about the government, but now they're also afraid that the Chinese tanks will be rolling down Main Street any moment. They think we live in tyranny. This is what their media has done to them.

Imagine going through life like that.

Your mockery and stupidity is noted.

We are a country because someone alerted us the Redcoats were coming.

Maybe crack a book sometime?

Don't forget swords, spears, crossbows, shovels, knives, rope, chains, axes, trap doors, booby traps, pits, and various sundry death snares rigged to look like natural things.

Yeah, your probably right. I have 280 acres and there is just no way to inventory everything that might be or isn't out there.

I want guns to protect myself and my loved ones from the criminals that progressive DA's and politicians fail to keep behind bars.

As for what we saw in Highland Park? Probably the toughest gun control laws in the nation are in effect in that State and yet the people who need to enforce those laws didn't. So what makes you think that you're going to do any better when you enact more laws? The bad people aren't being stopped from getting weapons. They will however be emboldened knowing that the average citizens they want to slaughter on our streets will no longer have a gun to protect themselves. Make the whole country a "gun free" zone and see what happens!

Hi there Mr impossibly fucking stupid, you might remove dumb, uneducated ass from forums, and google up how well the entire might of the United States military vs the Viet Kong, and Taliban, works out for your impossibly fucking stupid argument! There is no greater check on tyranny, than a population with direct and easy access to firearms.... Folks, morons like the op are revoltingly ignorant of the topics they blather on and on about, his argument is ludicrously stupid, but that didn't stop them from advancing it, and you know what, government is full of just this type of moron, absolutely impossibly fucking stupid people....
