Gun control discussion

[RICHARD]

Hear this all the time & wonder if people really believe what they are saying.A USA military could take down whole other Nations within days will be held in check by a group
of wannabe Rambos with their trusty "firearms". It's laughable. Evidently, repeating this phrase in every discussion about gun control, somehow makes them feel invincible.

Well, since we are talking about 'wannabe Rambos' let's talk about the "Stupid peaceniks", can we?

It's pretty insulting to be thought of as a 'wannabe Rambo' because I like to shoot a gun or want to own one.

That would be just like me saying that people who want green energy or drive hybrid cars are treehugging idiots.
Or that women who like cats are lonely and incapable of having a relationship with others, especially men.

---------------------

I haven't really read anything about people being Rambo or wanting to be Rambo - on this thread.

Of course, if I want to own a gun, bullets and want to target shoot on the weekends, that makes me a 'clear and present danger' to the people around me?

What an effing laugh.

I fear the idiots that drink and drive, talk on a cell phone, smoke cigarettes while driving -I fear people who smoke in bed, prepare my food or someone who decides that a nice biohazard in my water or air is the answer to THEIR problems?

----------------------

I do not think my guns are an extension of my penis, neither is my car, wallet or tax bracket.

I find the insinuation that I am a "rambo" because I like guns to be a direct reflection of the people who either do not like, trust or would not be able to handle a gun or the responsibilities of owning firearms.

If you don't like it or cannot handle it, suck it up.

My lifestyle choices shouldn't bother you - nor should my responsible ownership of any firearm.

Said nothing about indivdual gun owners .Said something about the"Rambos" who delude themselves into believing that arming themselves
will somehow protect us all from tyranical goverment excesses.

When I mention being armed, Im not talking about the individual. The Second Amendment is not that simple.

A tank in urban territory is extremely vulnerable.

An F-16 is useless when your own civilians are around.

Modern arms and tactics are essentially useless when the enemy is among your own citizens. Any serious, well planned uprising would render most of the military useless. There are literally thousands of nasty ways to render modern weapons moot. Just ask the Afghans, the VC, the fuzzies, the Basques, the IRA, and any number of ultimately successful insurgent groups.

If it's so useless, why does the US have a large military unit specifically tasked with supporting, training, and helping insurgents? Ask the governments in the Horn of Africa how useful modern weapons are against an internal uprising.......

Very, and I mean very, few of the US military will disarm the USA populace by force.

I'd give the general response to an order like that, but this is a family board.
