Is this a Red Dawn fantasy?An armed population is not a trivial matter. It has major advantages and disadvantages. Remember Vietnam ? It showed that it is very difficult to defeat a native population fighting on their own land even when their enemy has vastly superior weapons.
That's a poor analogy; the effective Vietnamese resistance had nothing to do with personal gun rights.An armed population is not a trivial matter. It has major advantages and disadvantages.

Is it really Covid related or could it be the massive increase in political polarization? Covid IS a big part of the latter. It is a public health issue that was used by a lot of people to cause alarm and division for their own end.Before Covid I hadn't paid as much attention to what was up in the USA compared to at this point. I was pretty surprised at the news cycles displaying lines at gun stores as long s the one I remember standing around an entire block waiting to get into the original Star Wars as an 8 year old. (Slight exaggeration) We've been watching part of the result ever since.
But... Wolverines!!!That's a poor analogy; the effective Vietnamese resistance had nothing to do with personal gun rights.
Its not a complete analogy but it is at least a partial one If it's a poor analogy please explain why.That's a poor analogy; the effective Vietnamese resistance had nothing to do with personal gun rights.

The original or the remake?
Is that the lesson you learned from Vietnam?Its not a complete analogy but it is at least a partial one If it's a poor analogy please explain why.

How about the Eastern front in Germany?
Not a member could care less

Don't blame the poor virus though.
My point is, I doubt if personal gun ownership was very high in 1940 USSR or pre-1964 Vietnam, but they won. Maybe Afghanistan is a better example, but who the hell is looking for that kind of domestic situation?There are a ton of lessons to be learned from Vietnam. Whats the relevance of Germanys eastern front? I'm not saying there is no relevance. Just wondering about what point you were making.

Maybe we could train... uh, a militia or some sort of national guard or other armed force that could keep the military weapons in a safe place. And maybe we could increase the training and number of trainees as the risk of invasion from a foreign force becomes a more uh, reasonable threat.
Nah, that's crazy.
Nevermind.
There's nothing you can do so forget it, until it happens again in another week, thoughts and prayers. Nothing will change until the balance of power changes in Washington and perhaps on the supreme court too. So don't waste your time and tears, vote and work for the democrats and hope the republicans fuck up enough to lose. People who vote republican support this shit despite what they say. Love of a gun ain't enough, hate and fear are though, all the rest is simply bullshit, freedumb, big guberment and personal protection too. The first thing they do in prison is to arm themselves with a shive, cause everybody else has a sharpened toothbrush.My point is, I doubt if personal gun ownership was very high in 1940 USSR or pre-1964 Vietnam, but they won.
