My last post was in reply to someone who apparently believes the only way to assure our freedom is to arm up to the same level as our military. So that we are prepared to defend ourselves against our own military. Which in my opinion is an invalid 2nd amendment argument. Why? Because I can't afford F-18s and Bradley fighting vehicles. Please. If you are going to argue the 2nd amendment, don't sound like a fool. That only gives the other side more ammunition.

The VC and NVA didn't use F-18s and Bradley Fighting Vehicles. Now, we beat them, but at what cost? Took 8 years. And they won the sequel (the important one, as it turns out) war against our proxy anyway, rendering all our efforts, blood, treasure, sacrifice, moot.

And don't get me started on all the asymmetrical threats that have given us so many fits 30 years or more now, armed with little more than AK-47s and improvised explosives.

The threat of armed resistance is more credible when backed by a citizenry of riflemen than a citizenry with smartphones and Antifa flags. The Founders understood that. I wonder why so many folks today cannot.
