Huh? I think you misunderstand me. Yeah you could SHOOT AT the government. It would be pretty suicidial though. Wanna take on the entire US army with your little rifle?
and Rage, that's terrorism. you want people to do that? you think that achieves anythnig?
Yeah you could SHOOT AT the government
Yes, you could shoot bullets at <government> with a rifle, by yourself. No, sir. You misunderstand me. Guns would be necessary for overthrow. No, essential. But many other techniques would need to be used too.
It would be pretty suicidial though.
No, it wouldn't. Done the right way, the government would be back in line in no time. They don't like losing money.
Wanna take on the entire US army with your little rifle?
By myself, no. And it wouldn't be the entire military anyway. Huge chunks would refuse to fight their own people.
and Rage, that's terrorism.
No its not. Its justifiable and LEGAL revolution. Forcing people to be debt slaves, frequently committing unconstitutional acts without the consent of the citizen, and shitting all over democracy is terrorism. In fact...
Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror); are perpetrated for a religious, political, or ideological goal; and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians). Some definitions now include acts of unlawful violence and war. The use of similar tactics by criminal organizations for protection rackets or to enforce a code of silence is usually not labeled terrorism, though these same actions may be labeled terrorism when done by a politically motivated group.
Go ahead and ask me to link that description to thousands and thousands of acts committed by the U.S. government in just the past few years. Go ahead. Ahem. Moving on for now.
you want people to do that?
I really, REALLY do.
you think that achieves anythnig?
Point blank: YES. It does, and it has many times. In fact it kept the British from treating us much the same way our own government does now. Read a history book, man.
