Yup your neighbor is not to be trusted.  Probably wants you to get vaccinated. 

The horror! Like watching a Hurts pass to his left.

Do you think Russia's hands were tied too?  What do you think would happen if we shot nukes in today's day and age at an enemy? They would just sit there and take it?  You are delusional if you think that any country that was looking to invade us wouldn't take into consideration the amount of armed citizens we have here.

Spend a couple hours on the military history channel and discover just how lethal modern weaponry is these days.

Let's just say any country with the capability to invade us isn't going to be fazed by a few gun owners brandishing shotguns or even fully automatic AK-47s.

Tell you what, you can have thousands of gun totting citizens, me, I'll be happy with a couple M1 tanks and a few Warthogs and a couple Cobras. Guess who'll win?

For one thing, most gun owners couldn't hit anything past 20 yards, even the hunters, 'cause deer don't shoot back.

I think anyone who's actually been in combat would laugh at the idea of American gun owners as a deterrent to an invasion, or even a military coup.

Now, when it comes to the local police force, that's another matter.

Let’s transition back to the Eagles.

If Jalen Hurts owned a firearm, it would be a:

A.  Howitzer

B. Sniper rifle

C. 45 cal handgun

D. .22

 

Red Ryder isn't an option? Afraid he will shoot his eye out?

Do you have some of those at your house?  And your ignorance about gun owners is completely ridiculous. I would take my a/r15 vs your hopeful dreams any day vs any army.

If we're invaded, force them to watch Hurts highlights. They'll kill themselves.

Knowing this from my wife's 50 billion knee surgeries you can actually weaken it by wearing the brace too long.

Apples to oranges. I assume your wife used the brace to walk around and other daily use. With linemen, lots of teams have their OL wear knee braces to protect from getting rolled into. The brace isn’t really weakening them in this instance because they’re not wearing it due to functional weakness or anatomical abnormalities like us normal folks. They have them a small level of protection for small periods.

That's just what you Canadians want us to think. Lull us into a false sense of security then all of a sudden BAM... mounties on the white house lawn. 

We burned that f'er down once before. Best believe we'll do it again!

You're talking about defending "the country" against tyranny. It's ain't gonna be some PC people, it's gong to be a coup by the armed forces, either on their own or in support of an authoritarian President who wants to be President for life. And if successful, it'll have the firepower of the American Armed Forces behind it. Your A/R 15 will be a joke in that case.

We didn't "lose" in Afghanistan, we just got tired of propping up an ineffectual, corrupt government, same in Vietnam. There was no real national interest at stake.

And the Taliban didn't win because they had guns, but because they have IEDs and suicide bombers and were willing to fight a war of attrition over decades.

War isn't a video game or a Hollywood movie. For the Taliban, and many insurgents, it becomes literally a way of life, the only game in town.

Does it matter.  Citizens are not equipped to take on the United States Military.

My ar15 will be less of a joke than your finger and hopeful thinking. Did the Russians also tire of "propping up a corrupt government"? Do you also think that we couldn't make IEDs to go along with our "jokes of ar15s".

It's become commonplace in FBS.

The US gets into war with Russia.

A photo online is posted of a SEALs team ready to partake a counter insurgency mission in full camo.

So they should just give up and live with tyranny if it happens?
