I keep reading this time and time again as a “gun-control” argument:
“The private ownership of guns (in America) is not going to protect you from the most powerful military in the world.”
Only an idiot would write the aforementioned sentence and only a fool would take on America’s military head to head. Unlike socialist/communist governments American gun owners have no fear of their military.
Hypothetically could the private gun owners of America stop the American military if needed?
The answer: Unequivocally, YES.
The United States military numbers less than 2 million and only about 10 percent of that 2 million are actual fighters. There’s about 323 million folks in the United States and close to 50 percent own guns legally and we own about 270-310 “million” guns. Let’s say just 100 million own the guns, each then becomes a ‘fighter” in our hypothetical war. I figure it would take about 24 hours for the “armed civilian” Americans to take every military base in the United States.
And the idiot would answer: “But, but, but the military has planes and tanks.” And the intelligent gun owner would answer, “yeah, and they have to come out sometime”.
The math is pretty simple.
That answered, the United States military is a tool employed by politicians.
American gun owners would not be pointing their guns at the US military but at those wielding that tool.
Have you ever heard of the United States military requesting the banning of civilian owned guns?
Have you ever heard of a politician asking for the banning of civilian owned guns?
Who do you think fears of American gun ownership?
19-year-old Gavrilo Princip knew that answer.
