but not to win. You realize how ridiculous it sounds to go against the US government with rifles? It's worse than bringing a knife to a gun fight.
Sometimes I can't help but feel like most of you gun loving folks are dreaming that you're in a Hollywood movie, where you're the hero and you die in glorious battle protecting your freedoms and family. But it's ok, because at least you put up a fight and credits will roll.
The reality is that you will do nothing at best, and die at worst.
- grogenaut 5y agoDid I miss something, did America NOT just pull out of Afghanistan?
- optymizer 5y agoThat's such a bad example. Let's just look at a few differences from Taliban: * the government controls your money and can freeze all your accounts. * the government controls all the imports and exports. You're not going to get massive shipments of reinforcements. * the government has all your information, where you live, where your parents live, how many kids you have, and who your friends are * the government controls all the roads, toll booths and CC cameras. Where you're going to hide? At Yosemite? Are you going to burrow yourself in the ground and dig networks of tunnels? You've been spoon fed this story of a militia since you were little. It's not the 1800s anymore. You can't take a gun and multiply it by 10000, and then walk into DC from Nebraska to take your freedoms back. That's a dream. Meanwhile, back on Earth, there's school shootings, mass murders at a scale that's not found in any other country... but it's a small price to pay, because one day you'll get to play out that militia fantasy of yours, right?
