They keep telling us that they don't want to take guns away from anyone, and then say if you do resist though, we will kill you....and your family, to get them......besides, if you have rifles, we have drones, tanks, and the military to murder you to get your guns......
But we don't want your guns......
Here is a look at the dumb argument anti-gun extremists make when they tell us that armed Americans, good people, can't fight the U.S. government if they want to take our guns......
Monster Hunter Nation
Last week a congressman embarrassed himself on Twitter. He got into a debate about gun control, suggested a mandatory buybackāwhich is basically confiscation with a happy face sticker on itāand when someone told him that they would resist, he said resistance was futile because the government has nukes.
And everybody was like, wait, what?
Of course the congressman is now saying that using nuclear weapons on American gun owners was an exaggeration, he just wanted to rhetorically demonstrate that the all-powerful government could crush us peasants like bugs, they hold our pathetic lives in their iron hand, and heād never ever advocate for the use of nuclear weapons on American soil (that would be bad for the environment!), and instead he merely wants to send a SWAT team to your house to shoot you in the face if you donāt comply.
See? Thatās way better.
But this post isnāt about that particular line from one foolish congressman. Itās about all of the silly left wing memes that have popped up since, trying to justify the congressmanās basic premise that the 2nd Amendment is obsolete for resisting tyranny, and the government would obliterate anyone who failed to comply. Like this one:
Iāve seen a slew of these over the last few days. Nukes kicked it off, but Iāve seen it before with drones, or tanks, or cruise missiles. Sadly, this is one of the better ones, but thatās because the left canāt meme. Basically they all boil down to the same fundamental premise. The federal government has access to advanced weapon systems, and thus anyone who resisted gun confiscation would be effortlessly destroyed by these advanced weapon systems, ergo gun contro

First, letās talk about the basic premise that an irregular force primarily armed with rifles would be helpless against a powerful army that has things like drones and attack helicopters.
This is a deeply ironic argument to make, considering that the most technologically advanced military coalition in history has spent the better part of the last two decades fighting goat herders with AKs in Afghanistan and Iraq. Seriously, itās like you guys only pay attention to American casualties when thereās a republican in office and an election coming up.
Nobel Peace Prize Winner Barack Obama launched over five hundred drone strikes during his eight years in office. Weāve used Apaches (thatās the scary looking helicopter in the picture for my peacenik liberal friends), smart bombs, tanks, I donāt know how many thousand s of raids on houses and compounds, all the stuff that the lefty memes say theyāre willing to do to crush the gun nut right, and weāve spent something like 6 trillion dollars on the global war on terror so far.

Letās be super generous. Iām talking absurdly generous, and say that a full 99% of US gun owners say wonāt somebody think of the children and all hold hands and sing kumbaya, so that then you are only dealing with the angriest, listless malcontents who hate progressā¦ These are those crazy, knuckle dragging bastards who you will have to put in the ground.
And there are 650,000 of them.
To put that into perspective, we were fighting 22,000 insurgents in Iraq, a country which would fit comfortably inside Texas with plenty of room to spare. This would be almost 30 times as many fighters, spread across 22 times the area.
And that estimated number is pathetically, laughably low.
In one of the bluest states in America, the New York SAFE Act only has like a 4% compliance rate. And thatās mostly just people choosing to ignore an onerous law. Because the further you get away from the major cities, the more people just donāt give a crap about your utopian foolishness. Its benign neglect, and most Americans are happy to ignore you until you mess with them. You start dropping Hellfire missiles on Indiana? Fuck you, its game on. And that 1% is going to turn into 50% damn quick.
I'm wandering back to the Facebook / monopoly post.
Will you join me in supporting some bans on what information companies can collect and some serious bans on their semi-secret surveillance through apps and devices?
As long as you are against gun registration you may as well do something about the registration devices we are all carrying around in our pockets right now and I'll fight along side you for that.
Yeah....I can't stand Facebook....
Agreed. I use it for work. You'd love how targeted advertising on their even for relative amateurs like me can be.
Google isn't really much different. And keep in mind I'm not thinking we'll ever be able to talk about overthrowing the government online w/o someone being able to trace it, all this traffic just has to go from my pc to my ISP to a hub, and they know where it came from, but man they are watching.
What's a good first step to getting NRA members to realize their Facebook app knows what guns they have, where they go and where they keep them. That information is one subpoena away from Donald's or Obama's hands.....if the government is even playing above the table and not just taking it.
There was a better AP article a month or so back about a college gal who caught google tracking her.
These will get the point across.
Here is a hack article about it: Google is probably tracking your location, even if you turn it off, says report
And another about your public google email: Google's Gmail controversy is everything people hate about Silicon Valley
