Do you think we should all be allowed military helicopters, missiles and grenades too? Because, let's face it, with nothing but your rifle, you#re gonna do FUCK ALL to the government.
Of course. Why should the military have monopoly on those weapons?
LOL
Well I, for one, am glad that that is not the case
Also, you do realise it would only be the RICH who could ever possibly afford such things?
You can't argue with most Europeans about guns. There are the few of us that understand that gun ownership is a right and a means for protecting freedom.
Then there is the rest, in my country and many more even including many or most of the gun owners, who are so thorougly brainwashed by propaganda that it is impossible for them to understand the concept.
You don't need this weaponry to topple a war machine, Adam. With merely firearms, commonly available materials, a bit of strategy, and a can-do attitude, it is possible to topple a giant. The size and power of the U.S. military is essentially its weakness, because if it were to declare war on it's own citizens(most retarded thing I've ever heard in my entire life, btw), the military/industrial complex would lose WAY too much money trying to fight against guerilla tacticians. This is almost impossible though, because most soldiers with the slightest scrap of humanity left would outright refuse to commit mass murder on their own country.
This may help you understand, Adam:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategy_and_tactics_of_guerrilla_warfareThe military /industrial complex is interested in expansion and making more and more money. They don't want to destroy their own property. Likely what would happen, is that the citizens would rebel, and the politicians and banking interests would pretend to understand for a while, giving back some civil rights and waiting for people to become complacent again so they could continue to manipulate people and break the law.
