Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.
- madengr 8y agoYes, and NEVER give up your guns. A free people must remain armed and vigilant.
- lucretian 8y agowhat are gun owners doing to stop the incarceration of infants and children?
- madengr 8y agoIt’s not up to gun owners. It’s up to the individuals being rounded up to shoot those doing the rounding.
- Johnny555 8y agoYou're advising that asylym seekers make an armed assault on the border? There's only one way that's going to end. If they could afford the guns and armaments needed to overrun an ICE checkpoint, they wouldn't have needed to leave their country in the first place.
- geofft 8y agoTo be clear - you're advocating for non-Americans intending to cross the American border and claim asylum to fire upon the American national guard to ensure they make their way into the country? Other things aside, the biggest practical problem with your suggestion is that they're not armed at all right now. Would you like to arm them? Or are people who are unable to afford guns, tanks, and drones unworthy of being free?

- pjc50 8y agoThere's a subset of gun owners who are definitely on the rounding-up side: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/undercover-border-militia-immigration-bauer/ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/undercover-bord... (2016)

- mozumder 8y agoGuns never change government policy. They only enforce it.
- madengr 8y agoTo think I’d be British if it weren’t for guns.
- djohnston 8y agothis is obviously false, what point are you trying to make with such a blind eye to the countless number of armed resistances and revolutions throughout human history?
- mozumder 8y agoWhich armed citizenry overthrew government by themselves, without another government's assistance?
- Johnny555 8y agoArmed against the government? Maybe in the past that was true, but not any more, the government has far bigger guns than you ever will. If you got into a true shooting match, they can destroy your house or car from a helicopter miles away, you literally won't even see it coming.
- derping_hacker 8y agoYou should probably tell the US military, they've spent 20 years and 6 trillion dollars trying to stop some goat herders with 70s era Soviet gear with no success.
- thousandautumns 8y agoAnd how is that going for the goat herders? The US may not be "winning" in Afghanistan, but they certainly aren't losing as much as the Afghan people are. Their nation has been utterly decimated. The idea that the American people could make an armed stand in conflict with the US military is about as foolish of a notion as can be dreamt up.

- greymeister 8y agoIsn't it strange how in places like Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, people don't just give up with those same odds?
- Johnny555 8y agoThey've successfully overrun their well armed government armed only with guns that an individual can afford to purchase?
- 8y ago
- hackerpacker 8y agoeven those that do.
- fredley 8y agoWhat about those who do know their history and are trying to repeat it?
