The more guns the better (Page 3)

Posted by blackphaseI agree and love nature also. When I fish I don't like using live bait because I hate the idea it has to die for my enjoyment. I also always release what I catch. In a survival situation I'd have no issue eating wildlife however. At that moment I would feel my life is extremely important for others survival, because I know a bunch of survival tips. All the way to what plants and flowers in north America are perfect for antibiotic bandages and medicine, what plants are good to eat, or which plants are deadly. I also know how to craft primitive weapons and traps.
@Soul - Not a vegan, just love nature and wildlife. I have never eaten game meat before, I feel badly enough for all the animals slaughtered by factories and all the expired meat that gets thrown away. Such a sad waste. I know many people (animal lovers) would prefer to hunt their own meat as opposed to buying it, but there are already so many animals being slaughtered that we cannot keep from happening, I'd rather not see those lives end for nothing.. only to be thrown in the trash if expired before bought.

Someone mentioned history. Let's look at the Revolutionary War. Local militia fought that war.
If it weren't for citizens with guns, we'd be hailing the Queen instead of bashing Obama.
No, I'm not forgetting France's help...but as a community we stood up against the strongest nation in the world at the time.

Posted by QuantumEven if there was an invasion, good luck holding territory.
Any power that manages to evade 1) Satellite surveillance, 2) Air Force assets, 3) Naval Assets, 4) National Guard assets, and 5) Local law enforcement assets is simply going to be too strong for a bunch of citizens with semi automatic rifles and handguns. The logistical problems the invading force would need to overcome are just too great that it would have to be far more powerful than any current military.

The Wehrmacht had fits in Yugoslavia.

The way I see it is you couldn't really use nukes. The reason for this is unless you could do it quickly and take out all our nuke locations we would just send some back. You also couldn't wipe the whole country off the map with a nuke, because the radiation would kill so much more then the target, and it would linger for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. That means the only option would be a large scale invasion. Which the cops and civilians would make somewhat difficult, or at least scary for the invading troops let alone the military.
Obvously all of this invasion talk is hypothetical here in 2016 though.

Despite all the research saying more guns = more gun violence. Yup. Just what we needed. Another "cold, dead hands" thread. 🙄

I'd like to start studying....I do look it up sometimes, but I forget pretty quick. Maybe I should start a notebook.
I've always wanted to go to a survivalist camp and learn things like that. It would be hard, but very worthwhile, I think. Afterall, it doesn't have to be an apocalypse for someone to be stuck in a survivalist situation for a few days.

We live in an age of professional soldiers.
Going to the shooting range and/or hunting deer does not prepare a citizen to engage in combat with trained soldiers.
These aren't meth heads looking for easy money or something to steal. These are trained killers. No modern day American "militia" has been anything but target practice when it came to conflicts with even nonmilitary units from the FBI or ATF. The idea that they can stand up to coordinated modern military combat is silly.

I think most of the US would crumple like one of Don Johnson's cheap suits.
Especially if the invaders offered free college.
Well, maybe if our government wasn't so insistent on dividing us Americans up, then we'd have more a chance at unity. I'm talking sexuality divisions, race divisions, gender divisions, making gun owners out to be terrorists, etc - our government seems to encourage that. For what reason....hmmmm....
I do honestly believe though that if America were attacked, then the people would band together as Americans regardless of race, culture, gender, sexuality preference etc.
I do remember when our country united after 9-1-1.

@truecap
That's more of an attitude than an ideology.
All the enemies I've listed believed in something greater than themselves. Something they were willing to die for.
For the Japanese it was their emperor. For the VC it was straight up Communism. For ISIS it's Allah.
That doesn't exist in the US anymore. The only contemporary example might have been the Communist USSR, but Communism has failed over and over again so it's more of a joke than a threat.
It's going to take something we've never experienced before to bring people together like that.

We've yet to see an alien invasion, or top secret government experiments that escaped.
Or to be more spacific, government experiments the Satanists will create and release on humanity and call them aliens to abolish God and begin the new world order.

Also having the ability to travel the speed of light would do some weird twisted things to time, space, and the atoms in our body. Idk if something like that is even possible with what the universe and laws of physics give us. Then again, if there's one thing humans are good at it's to defy and exploit all the laws and rules.

Posted by MontgomeryThat depends on how a soul is made. Does a soul chose It's location, or is a soul forced into Its location? Does a soul have a choice, has a soul long existed, or is the soul created with the fetus? Or is a soul the reaccuring energy that once created upon death can't escape the universe? Souls are complex it seems. More complex then a living lifeform. Which is even more off topic then I've already taken it lol.Posted by SoulJust no conscience-- no soul.Posted by MontgomeryYes.
