Oh, just started making plans. If all goes well, I'll post some video of us shooting a Steyr Aug clone and our 20 gauge with dragon's breath.

Your empowerment is an illusion. If the government wants you dead, you're dead. If the government wants you taken prisoner, you're taken prisoner. If they want to hear your phone calls, they hear your phone calls. Owning a gun that's 40 years behind DoD technology isn't going to help you.

It's not 1776, we're not being occupied, you're not winning a war with a bunch of inbred hillbillies that wouldn't hand over their assault rifles.

We get it Daldolma, if anyone comes for you, your A-OK with just rolling over for them. Not everyone happens to share that sentiment.

There's a pretty enormous gap between just rolling over for someone that "comes for me" and carrying a gun into every movie theater, coffee shop, and Chuck E Cheese I happen upon.

There's also a difference between owning a gun in case for some unanticipated reason you may need it in the future, and owning a gun because you think it empowers you to take on the US government if need arises.

If you took a poll on the people from survivors of the Colorado shooting asking "Would you have liked a gun on you, that night in the movie theater" I wonder what the results would be. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You make assumptions that clearly empower your case on this. If there was a civil war, do you honestly believe that active duty military members would unanimously follow orders to kill American civilians? As a veteran myself, I wouldn't.

Between a split in the military (and one can only hope that the majority of soldiers in this country would hold to their oath to protect the Constitution), Veterans, trained Militia, armed civilians, all fighting on familiar ground with support from local communities. I don't think it would be as cut and dry as you make it.

You paint it like some rogue civilian with a pistol going up against the full might of the government, three letter agencies, and military. Of course such a scenario is ridiculous, but it's a rather weak position on why people shouldn't own a gun.
