Actually several semi-automatic rifles with hundreds of 30-round magazines, a few 100-round drum mags, and enough ammo to fill all of them. The 6-shot revolvers are just range toys.

I agree, it is hard for a ground army to invade


No ground army in the world could ever hope in their wildest dreams of ego that they could pull off a land invasion of the US even if the 2nd didnt exist. Our geographical advantages combined with our overwhelming superior air force and naval strength would render their attempts the stuff of mockery before they ever got anywhere close.

The 2nd is there to provide protection against the feds not foreign threats.

If 50 armed militants parachuted into your neighborhood or rolled onto your street in Toyota pickups unexpectedly at 6:30 am on a weekend morning, what is it exactly that you think would happen? Dozens of people would be dead before anyone else even knew what was happening.


It's kind of crazy to me that anyone holds this view.

There are some places in this country where they wouldn't even make it off the streets with 50 dudes.

You're really dumb, and ignorant. And apparently never studied history

Would our right to bear arms protect us from a giant comet?
A tidlewave?
Bad acting?

It's so odd that you people will simultaneously talk shite about how armed we are, then turn around and pretend to be surprised that we're armed.

I'm not shocked that some Southern dude is under the delusion he is Rambo. I'm laugh at it.

BTW plenty of liberal have guns too. I have several because I'm surrounded by Trump voting morons with guns.

You are delusional. If China or Russia ever defeated our military (they can’t) it would be child’s play to subdue the population.


Has Vietnam, Afghanistan, Ukraine and now Gaza taught you nothing? And armed populace familiar with the territory fighting an urban guerilla war is a great equalizer. If the IDF doesn’t level everything and just tries to roll down the streets they take heavy losses. An armed American population is the biggest reason you never see an occupation here. Just too much land and too many pissed off red blooded Americans

i thought you libs consider them "assault weapons"? now they are peashooters? which one is it? im so confused.


Yeah, guess they’re “assault peashooters”.

Until they want them banned, then they magically transform back into “military grade weapons of war”.

There’s just no way that you actually believe that anyone without mental illness is just “ready” to fight off armed attackers at 6:30 am on a weekend without any type of warning.
If I hear numerous gunshots on my street at 6:30 am and see a truckload of people with guns shooting at my neighbors, I’m outta bed and armed with my AR with 60 rounds within 30 seconds. It’s in a closet 3 feet from my bedroom with an electric combination lock.

That reminds me, I’ve gotta load some more magazines.

So, you think those guys are all still willingly barging into homes if there's essentially a 100% probability the homeowners will be armed? How naive can you be?

What? I’m not the naive person who thinks that having a gun in your closet will protect you against a dozen or more well armed terrorists.

It’s patently absurd to pretend like the average baw is capable at a moments notice to repel a large force of armed attackers. Simply nonsense These guys got whole squads of IDF soldiers in their beds.

Surprise is a thing. It’s not some affront to the second amendment or your masculinity to suggest that you couldn’t repel an armed invasion by yourself at 6:30 am on a Saturday.

No there aren’t. 50 guys could drive in, divide into groups, and be kicking in the door of every house on your street before anyone even woke up.

Good for you. If a dozen armed men storm your house at dawn on a Saturday, you and your family would still be killed.


No they wouldn’t. They’d move to his neighbor’s the second he started shooting.

Lol. Maybe in your neighborhood. Between the two federal marshals on my street and the other homeowners firepower, they’d find a new neighborhood to harass. These aren’t special forces operators, they’re cowards that pick on unarmed women and children.

Those marshals must have great spidery senses I guess? Trained operators still sleep at night.

All I’m saying is that the notion that having an armed population somehow prevents huge groups of armed assailants from attacking American neighborhoods is retarded.

That doesn’t happen here and has never happened here because no group has the capability or manpower to pull it off here. Hamas isn’t restrained by the Second Amendment They aren’t scared. They just can’t do it.
