In equal numbers the military prevails.
I'm not worried about the police force. They have shotguns and pistols just like everybody else, and in most cases the enthusiasts have just as much skill as the police.
And the military is tiny, less than 1% of the population. About 50% of the population owns at least 1 gun, and most who own at least 1 own several. If they can barely secure Iraq, there is no way they will secure the USA.
- SapphireSun 17y agoWell, they still kill something like 10-100 enemies for every soldier felled. I'm all for preventing it from getting to that point in the first place (not that I'm implying you are). Side note: While I agree this particular article is relevant to HN, its starting to bring out the crazy a bit. Can we have a moratorium on political articles for a day or two to cool it off?
- jeromec 17y agoI totally disagree with a moratorium on anything that threatens liberty in the USA, especially when resulting discourse is among intellectual minds.
- SapphireSun 17y agoUm, I meant this article is okay, but we need to restore balance to the force afterword.
