"Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it."

[Joe Hadenuf]

Too many cheap action novels and thrillers and supposedly adults still buy into their never-neverland fantasies of citizens overthrowing a government by force. Not in this day and age.

I wonder what the afghans would think of this statement. As it was the mighty Russians with their tanks, helicopters and armys gave up and left Afghanistan in defeat.

What good can a handgun do against an Army?

If you are trying to repel the advancement of an invading army, you as an individual citizen would not be facing off against the entire army inclusive of every soldier. The invading army would not be moving as a large block of soldiers shoulder to shoulder in lines and rows. In other words, as an individual with your gun in hand, you may only have to deal with one or two soldiers in your immediate vicinity. Also, when a sizable number of gun-wielding citizens converge to repel an invading army, they will have formed their own army. Then you would have one army pitted against another army.

Marvelous post. Quite succinct and very useful! Thanks.

Thanks for the post. This bad boy is bookmarked.

Thanks, It's a great article, I've read one of the previous threads, but this time I will bookmark it!

As an Army veteran, do not EVER forget that another advantage on the side of the freedom loving is that it is OUR sons and daughters who bear the arms that protect this country. It is not the sons and daughters of the elite who would never dirty their hands in such a life.

When things get bad OUR childre will ask their families and the God of their families for guidance.

And THEN they will NOT fire on their loved ones who protect freedom. They will instead support and defend the CONSTITUTION of the United States; not the statist, elitist powder puffs who buy their way to positions of leadership.

They will not fire on their fathers and brothers and uncles and cousins. Instead, they will join them. And then the army of the enemy will be the army of the freedom fighters. The tanks and the planes and the missiles will turn to target the oppressor, not the oppressed.

Japanese Admiral Yamamoto, 1941: "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."

[luvzhottea]

There was a time I thought it was possible however did you see what happened in Afghanistan?
It was reported in the sequel to WACO: RULES OF ENGAGEMENT that ALLEGEDLY U.S. Delta Forces were there and fired at Branch Davidians. Do you think that WACO was an aberration? That FBI agents are somehow another species and our military people are immune to such government attitudes?
There will be no resistance. Anyone foolish enough to try anything will feel the wrath of the full might of the greatest power in the history of the world. What those poor souls who think they can fight Uncle Sam, well, to echo Dirty Harry(CLINT EASTWOOD): ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY PUNK?

[ctdonath2]

Apparently you didn't read the article...or watch the news for the last few years.

[tubebender]

The time is late. Those who once has trouble reading the hour on their watches have no trouble seeing by the glare of the fire at Waco. Few of us realized at the time that the Constitution was burning right along with the Davidians. Now we know better.

I will never forget when my wife called me to see the assault on my fellow Americans and the horrific churning of my body as I watched men women and children consummed by fire forced on them by our own government. In my mind this was far more insidious than 9/11/01.

BTW..on a thread last week was a link to a UC law school by 5 law Profs. What stood out was their acknowledgement of the necessity to the 2nd amendment to defend liberty from tryants within.

A thinking and determined fighter being outnumbered usually has educated himself on how to overcome his enemy while he sit's 20 miles away eating pizza and watching tv.

A person once asked me what good a handgun would do against a Cobra helicopter. My reply:"You shoot the pilot in his bed at night."

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Thank you. I'm going to try to accumulate a bunch of good quotes one of these days. I like the one on my profile a lot. Anyways, A well regulated militia is necessary...
