re: Our 2nd amendment right is the biggest reason this doesn't happen in the US.

I didn't say the guns would protect us from biological or nuclear weapons. I said they would protect us from terrorists coming to our homes and murdering us while we huddle in a closet.

You said THIS doesn't happen. I thought you were referring to the Hamas missile attacks but you mean the extremists invading peoples homes?

Cause the US had 1.65 million home invasions last year. I own a gun and someone came in my house last year and i did not hesitate to show him.

US is very equipped to defend a ground invasion - but how good are we defending against terrorist using human shields? Attacking kids at at festival? Biological attacks. Terrorists who are essentially on suicide missions. You want to own a gun - fine, i have guns - but think about all the ways a country could attack us. We just has a mild biological attack, what if it was SARS or Smallpox?

I'm not debating you - I'm expanding the discussion. THIS is war. How equipped is the US to handle a domestic war. That includes modern weapons - dirty bombs, disease, propaganda, cyber, EMPs? That is the way they are going to get us. Not a slow moving transport in the pacific.
