Leftists and gun haters love to trot this line out whenver someone defends the 2nd amendment saying one of the reasons for the 2A is so the people can defend themselves from a tyrannical government.

quote:

"Hah, you say the 2nd amendment is about protection from a tyrannical government, well sorry bro, but your guns won't make a difference against drone missle strikes and tanks"


Here is my question.

Say a tyrant became president and ordered the military to attack innocent citizens. For the sake of this example lets say the president ordered the military to attack citizens who refused to give up their guns in a gun grab.

How many military would actually obey the order? And how many military would defect and join the rebellion instead?

This always seems to be the flaw in the leftist logic of "your guns cant stand up to the military, tanks and drones". They assume that the military would blindly follow such orders.

How difficult a time did our soldiers have recently in the Middle East not knowing who was good, who was armed, etc?

It only makes sense if you assume the government would "win" by killing and alienating millions and millions of people. Like dipshit Swallowell talking about having nukes.

A lot. Tell them their nation is under attack from a threat and they will do just about anything.

The military will follow orders. Next question.

Is there any probability that the military will be utilized in this manner? No likelihood that I am aware of.

Can the civil war fetishists on the right wing really win a civil war? No.

It's funny Admiral Yamamoto of the Imperial Japanese Navy understood the dangers of attacking the US on the mainland better than some of our own citizens.....a rifle behind every blade of grass

The government would stand exactly a 0% chance of defeating an insurgency in this country and it's got nothing to do with the what type of weapons one side or the other are carrying. Even if 100% of the military obeys the order, which is likely, the government still stands no shot.

"Shall Not Be Infringed."


The military defends the constitution.

They don’t have to.

They would make the cost too high

I happen to know one guy in an elite infantry unit, if you will. That dude would be home and slitting throats of anybody that tried to take his or his families guns. I'm assuming most of the military members that grew up with guns would be somewhat like him.

Other issue with the logic is that liberals need us workers and tax payers to live . So if they kill us then they don’t have near the taxes coming in and would be missing a lot of everyday working class men .

Ya this is the dumbest line going for the anti 2A crowd. The government can't nuke it's own city and they can't just level a city with bombs. Not only would they not be able to identify their enemies but destroying tax payers and expensive infrastructure is counterintuitive because they need both to survive themselves.

Military has to uphold the Constitution not some Prez.

Until the SC says gun ownership is unlawful, it would be illegal for the military to try and enforce some gun grab.
