But the AR is very effective against people who drive tanks or fly aircraft. In fact, the AR might be quite effective on unmanned drone aircraft. Someone in CO might like to test that theory.

We kicked Englands' ass and they had better equipment, to my knowledge anyhow.

Quoted: Yeah it used to be "Your AR-15 can't do anything against a tank", now the progressive soy-infused urbanite dreams of drone striking his political opposition. View Quote Do that in Cedar Rapids or Winston-Salem. We know where the drone operators work. Many old ANG facilities gave up their F-16’s and now run intel for the trigger men at Creech or wherever. How many AR’s do we have? How many Hellfires do we have? Where are Hellfires built and by whom? A few kids get droned and a lot of fence-sitters are going to be asking where they can buy an AK... Just thinking out loud while jerking off. TC |

Make no mistake, a bunch of armed citizens with neutered ARs are gonna loose vs the might of the US military... but the destruction caused would be enough that there'd be no country left to rule, not to mention the military is made up of citizens itself who (hopefully) wouldn't exactly be willing to destroy their own homes/people. It's MAD... Mutually Assured Destruction. As long as the civilians are armed, it will never happen. View Quote |

They assume that all LE and MIL will be on “their” side and expect to authorize them to fight US citizens more brutally than they allowed them to fight foreign enemies.

Hard to crew, fuel or maintain a tank or aircraft when a rifle is holding your family hostage

LOL, they assume most the military will side with tyrants. Its gonna be messy.

Should have reminded her there have been many helicopters shot down. Seems to me we lost a whole bunch of Navy Seals in one incident.

It would be harder for me to learn to drive a tank than it would be for me to obtain one. Getting ammo for it would be a little bit tougher but I’ll bet I could work it out once I had a tank.

Any number of us given the ability would do so in a heart beat.

butt stroke the lib, "where's your tank and fighter jet now?"

I usually just tell them "I'm sorry to hear that you don't love yourself or your family members enough to protect them". I have yet to have someone give me a solid response after that. Most of the time is some weak assed response like "we need common sense gun laws...blah blah blah" Of course they can't tell me exactly what that looks like.

I'm not scared of much. I'm just about 100% scared of getting canned up inside a tank. I'm damned certain the enemy should be.

I like to turn their logic around on them. "So you think America is horrible for using the military against people in other countries, and you think the military should be defunded or reduced, but you are ok with using the fill might of the military against civilians in America?"

As for jets and drones... do liberals think they would drop jdams on Americans on American soil? Lol. Dumb shit liberals View Quote So why do we (you and I) think they won’t do it when the time comes? |

co-worker has a valid point... citizens should be allowed to have all the small arms, tanks, light and heavy mgs, manpads and stuff that a militia would have. that is what the 2nd was about, the ability of the citizens to defined themselves against tyranny and the various weapons that would allow that.

To be fair, a buddy of mine who was a tank commander in Iraq said the fights usually ended when he showed up. Only the really dumb ones stuck around and usually caught rounds from one of the various crew serve size weapons he had mounted. The fuck nuts with RPGs took main gun fire. There usually wasnt much left of them to scrape up.

I learned about ieds from the us military. You can freely download the improvised arms and explosive tm View Quote Ultimately it boils down to whether the people of any nation puts up with the BS being shoved down their throats. Hopefully the Persians can boot out the ayatollahs. I pray that the Canadians dump Soi Boi and France rid itself of Mac(a)ron(i) (It's the 60th week of Guilet Juane/yellow vest protests). Hopefully we can shut down the statists like Newsance (Gov. of CA), Blackface Northam, Bloomer-boy, Miss Nancy, Fineswine, Shifty-Ship, Donkey-face, Burn (champagne socialist), Creepy Uncle Joe, Bathhouse Barry, and many above them. Hurrah for Boris (Johnson) and Trump! |

It's a stupid argument because it doesn't matter.
If we get to the point that the government, or some faction of, is employing MBTs, drones and aircraft on American soil, against American citizens, it doesn't really matter "who can win" because the lifestyle any of us are currently enjoying will be long, long fucking gone. It's like saying "your fire extinguisher can't fight a fully involved 20 story high rise fire so you may as well give it up." No, you vapid twat. The fire extinguisher is for fighting the grease fire before it becomes an inferno. Just like the rifle. |

Let’s face it..
Our military is way too soft to battle a prolonged insurgency here at home. Morale would quickly plummet and majority would break ranks with their units. |

We kicked Englands' ass and they had better equipment, to my knowledge anyhow. In other words, we got lucky Yorktown could not have been won w/out French assistance. Naval blockade isolated Cornwallis. Rochambeau advised against an open battle like the assault Washington wanted to do. Washington wisely heeded the advice and laid siege instead. Starved out Cornwallis. Yet there was a larger British army under Clinton in NY. So, comparatively speaking, Yorktown was nothing but symbolic. But it was the breaking point since the British figured the Colonies weren't worth the trouble. |
