The sliver lining of Trump's autocracy is that the myopic left will realize the value and beauty of the 2nd amendment.

Let's see who shows up to say he knows all about the evidence and the jury was a bunch of libtards letting off thugs who need a retrial. Mistral?

because these six would be better off if they'd carried more guns? Can you elucidate your point?

@4:

Ah, I see we now need to add "legal process and criminal justice" to your ever-lengthening list of "shit you know absolutely nothing about, but can't stop bloviating over"...

One point for me. Fifteen - love.

Oh, I'm calm. But I'm glad I can help fulfill your Scheisse porn fantasy...

So the organizers of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, VA last August could be found guilty of assisting/acting in concert with the guy who killed 1 person and injured 19 others when he hit them with his car?

Good to know.

@3: Because the right to bare arms is key for successful and needed revolutions on autocracies, as it was on the monarchy of George III.

@12:

The English Army and the Continental Army had essentially the same level of armaments: single-shot, muzzle-loading, black powder rifles, maybe a few similarly-designed pistols and muskets, cannons, and cutting-edged weapons. In short, technologically both sides were pretty evenly matched, so it was really sheer numbers, and tactics, and a whole lotta luck that made the difference.

Now, compare that to the ordinance available to the modern U.S. military: full-auto rifles and pistols, concussive grenades, laser-guided drones, air-to-air and air-to-ground delivery systems, long-range field artillery, heavily armored, highly mobile transport and offensive vehicles - and that's just a partial list. In other words: your "revolutionaries" will be vastly outgunned, vastly outnumbered, vastly outfinanced,vastly outtrained, and vastly outequipped.

So, honestly, how long do you think a comparatively small number of 2As will hold out against overwhelmingly superior firepower where the people you're fighting may know the territory as well as those defending it? Especially given that the "revolutionaries" are, for the most part, ill-prepared, grossly out-of-shape (I mean, just LOOK at some of these so-called "patriots"), uncoordinated, and facing, in addition to the military, a domestic population that by-and-large doesn't support their goals and may in fact be just as well-armed (oh, you didn't KNOW liberals own guns too?) as themselves?

Answer: not very fucking long.

@12: "The right to bare arms" only permits you to roll up the sleeves of your shirt.

Please wait...
