Wars are still fought with such arms. It's important to remember that many of the civilians who are proponents of the 2nd Amendment were trained by the military and fought in recent wars; and understand full well what it means to prosecute a modern war.
- EForEndeavour 7y agoThis constant obsession about the US government potentially launching overt, ground-based military action against its own people makes me envision a doomsday prepper who invests tons of resources into a fallout shelter, but rides a motorcycle without a helmet or something. The risk assessment just doesn't make sense to me at all. Get with the times: our governments oppress and control us in ways that don't require open conflict. The 1860s are gone forever. Disclaimer: I've never owned a gun, and I have no military or government experience.
- solidsnack9000 7y agoGiven what happened in New Orleans, many aspects of prepping (the food and water and all that) are not that stupid. Only have to be without food or water or security once to be dead forever.
