Happy 4Th of July
Re: Happy 4Th of July
I don't think it will happen this election. I haven't seen such big turkeys since Thanksgiving.

I think that is the point that many don't understand. Having those guns does not mean that the gun holders could win against government forces but that it would necessitate the slaughter you allude to, which the government would be loath to do. At least that's the theory.table42 wrote:Indeed SS, I raised the same point in a previous post. People trapped in a true believer syndrome are not infrequently self deluded into believing that they will prevail against all odds. What SM is suggesting is not only treasonous, but suicidal as well.
You actually think the statement that government should be 'of, by and for the people' was meant as hyperbole?Luigi wrote:hy·per·bo·le

As repulsive as it would be to shoot ones fellow countrymen self defence would be the only alternative in the hope that they would surrender.

Re: Happy 4Th of July
I think the part of the idea of having all those guns is that the possiblity of that slaughter may deter the government from allowing such a situation ever to arrise, at least on any scale. Of course the government would 'win' the fight, but at what cost? And is that a cost the government would be willing to pay?table42 wrote:As repulsive as it would be to shoot ones fellow countrymen self defence would be the only alternative in the hope that they would surrender.

"And is that a cost the government would be willing to pay?"
LTO, I understood your point. Show me a govt. that wants to lose a revolution. I can't envision government officers laying down their weapons. It would be a sad sad day, but one the fools brought on themselves.
