re: How do so many Americans have a fundamental misunderstanding of the 2nd amendment?

the right: local police need to be militarized so they can fight highly armed gangs and stuff

also the right: we need things like AR-15s because the police are so militarized these days

you fricking idiots have gotten us into a cold war with ourselves.

you're comparing about ultra conservative, right wingers with the libertarian faction, bruv

With that rationale you better arm yourself with M2's, MK19's, 81MM mortars, TOWs, etc....so when 3d BN 8th Marines rolls into your town, to quell your uprising you 'might' stand a chance....cmon.

There are quite a few people in Afghanistan, Iraq, and even some ole baws left in Vietnam who are laughing at you right now.

I'm American history, dumbass?

what are your thoughts on the 15+ year old American invasion of Afghanistan...since you're the historian

Nothing like gun control to make progs go full fricking retard.

Their dumb arse obsession with this is a big reason why people hold their nose and vote for the lesser evil every 4 years.

Yep, liberals prefer us to fight with one or both of our hands tied behind our back.

They are always the first to shite in the nest and complain of its smell.

To compare our situation in Iraq with the situation in USA is completely inane.

In Baghdad it was like, what neighborhood are we in, what street is this, where are the street signes, oh, wait, is that some dude willing to blow himself up, oh no, it isn't where, what is that screeching from that house, let's go look, hey lady stop crying, no bombs here okay, what is going on, etc etc etc etc. And we didn't have nearly enough guys there, everyone recognizes that now.

In Janesville America it would be more like - Hey, are the Smith Family on Route 21 nuts or or not? Nuts? Okay, got it. (Speaks into walkie talkie for backup). And done.

Again, cut off the electricity and water and in three days everyone will come out waving white flags. We are not a badass warrior nation anymore.

Here's my obligatory "Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam say hello" response to this same stupid fricking argument.

So now you're talking about a civil war where one side is a bunch of rag-tag guerrilla fighters. Would that include using terrorism as a weapon too? Rambo was a movie you know. Not a real person.

Is it irrelevant, or you just don't have a cogent counter argument? I love how the term liberal is used when you don't agree with someone. Just like the other side uses 'conservative nut job' when they have a disagreement. LOL

I typed out a 4 paragraph, very clear counter argument. I’m sorry if you were too stupid or lazy to read and understand it before responding with a bunch of dumb shite. And good luck getting your brains scattered around if anything bad ever happens to our organized society while you’re sitting in the corner with your hunting shotgun when 4 guys kick your door in and turn their 300 blackout SBRs on you. So again, a major part of the purpose of the 2nd amendment is to prevent that exact situation. Deny it all you want, but maybe you should join the military if you want to see how quickly human beings can revert back to their nature and turn absolutely evil and how fragile society is if you don’t want to take anyone’s word for it?

So, it's possible that the government will come at citizens with guns? Which is it?
