I think you forget that a large portion of the gun owning population are the many combat vets such as myself that are well trained, battle hardened and willing to lay our life down for our country if need be.
I have seen war, death and carnage in my life. I look at it this way, why would I be willing to lay my life down for my country and family over i a desert hellhole, but not in my own back yard? The answer is I would do it in either place. Because I know what follows based of history and if I die, so be it. The people you claim to come and get the weapons, do you really think they would comply as you are saying we would? It is not just me with these beliefs, but nearly everyone one of my brothers and sisters I have served with and are all battle hardened and all around you!
Didn’t something happen like this last election and it turned out to be their own staffer doing it to stir controversy? I remember something along those lines.
“his promise to end Iraq “responsibly”, is he seriously trying to take credit for this? I knew during my last deployment there in 07 that we were withdrawing and turning it over to the Iraqi Army and Police.
He didn't do the withdraw, someone else made it happen!
