So basically, they want to give the Criminals the advantage, and have everyone be potential good little Helpless, Defenseless Victims??????? I would tell them they can go do something with themselves......preferably, involuntarily.

well it really truly boils down to one factor, americans who live in the upper middle class and above, dont need the government, thats why they want them gone, they want total reliance from the criminals they let out, the illegals who enter with free rain, and the impoverished who have no choice.

If people had weapons Tiananmen Square would have changed nothing.
Odd that the United States has never had a Tiananmen Square. Wonder what is holding the government back?
It was a pacifist protest for starters - the whole power of that day and what it symbolizes is portrayed by a person unarmed defying a tank, and they were facing a trained army with tanks and all the military equipment. They would have been obliterated the same or worse because they could not concede escapees to regroup.
You should go talk to some old Koreans or Vietnamese. Better yet, go talk to they Afghanis. They managed to repel two superpowers with very little equipment or training.
Same goes for the US and the people who says guns are for protecting yourself against government. The day the government unleashes the most powerful military on earth on your ass, no AR-15 will save you.

The United States was won by farmers against the superpower of the day. Wars are not won by weapons. They are won by strategies.

There is zero chance the American military are going to bomb or nuke American cities, no matter how often the Resident threatens it.

It's not a dictatorship? You did have Kent State massacre though.

They have the high ground. Or the deep jungle. You want to compare the US military acting at home with deploying on the other side of the globe? Also Korea and Vietnam were backed by other super powers.

Halfway across the world, and they didn't have drones and tanks, had they? And they raised an army, it wasn't Vietnam on US, that notion is ridiculous. Also backed by France, I believe you have a statue to celebrate that support somewhere, and the Spanish and the Dutch.

And who has the strategy? The civil folks who buy weapons or the army?

It's your paranoia, not mine.

You had to reach way back into history for that one. That was also the National Guard, not active duty military, who are not even allowed to be deployed here at home.

We have high ground, swamps, and deserts. The same terrain most other countries have. Besides, the military is not going to destroy their own homes. People forget that they live here too.

Many gun owners are prior military, like myself.

I'm not the one spreading BlueAnon conspiracy theories about the U.S. military attacking the citizens in their own communities. Loosen up that tinfoil hat their buddy, you're cutting off oxygen to your brain.

@TraderPatTX - Prior Service: Years ago, read how Dianne Feinstein wanted it so Vets with PTSD should not be in possession of, or able to get Firearms. Not all PTSD is Violence related. Me, I have Nightmares I dont remember, I dont even know I even had a Dream, and I also dont like being in large crowds. How does that make me a Threat???????
