God what a stupid argument. Yeah, you've got some AK-47s ... that's going to do a whole lot of good if the government shows up on your doorstep with a tank (or a nuke).

Sorry crazy conspiracy people, if the government wants to take over, they can and will, because they have vastly superior weaponry. The 2nd amendment isn't what protects your freedom: it's our democratic system of checks and balances.

The day that fails all the guns you can hoard won't do shit when the corrupt government drops a bomb from a plane on you.

You can make the same claim about the Taliban in Afghanistan (lesser technology/weapons vs. a superiorly-equipped force).

They also live in caves. In the absolute most remote regions of the country.

If you want to go live in a cave in Montana, have fun. Maybe your guns will help you a little, but I'm still skeptical.

Meanwhile 99.9% of America will be controlled by the evil regime with tanks.

You're being pedantic (which is to say you're technically correct, but your technical correction didn't add anything to the discussion so everyone would have been better off if you hadn't made it :p).

But hey, I can be pedantic too! While we are a republic, we're not just any republic ... we're a democratic republic:

A democratic republic is a form of government operating on principles adopted from a republic and a democracy. Rather than being a cross between two entirely separate systems, democratic republics may function on principles shared by both republics and democracies.

Theory
Common definitions of the terms democracy and republic often feature overlapping concerns, suggesting that many democracies function as republics, and many republics operate on democratic principles, as shown by these definitions from the Oxford English Dictionary:

Republic: "A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives..."[1]
Democracy: "A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives."[2]
Eugene Volokh of the UCLA School of Law notes that the United States exemplifies the varied nature of a constitutional republic—a country where some decisions (often local) are made by direct democratic processes, while others (often federal) are made by democratically elected representatives.[3]

In other words, democratic republics are democracies (and republics). Ha! Now I'm the one who's technically correct! ;)

Yep. Thats what really matters under a tyrannical regime. Disarming the Venezuelan citizenry primarily prevents them from pilfering amongst themselves with arms. The real threat is the prolongued minimal rationing of food that hes orchestrating. If one faction/region gets too unruly he doesnt have to bring the military down upon them, he merely has to withdraw the small rations of food, and when done over a prolongued period you can be fairly certain that initial hoardings have been exhausted so it doesnt even take long to wait em out.

Doesnt help that the people of Venezuela put ideology in front of practicality, either. Theres nothing wrong with GmO food.

Normally I hate Youtube links but that one was fun. Surprisingly enough it reminded me a bit of an argument from Noam Chomsky's most recent video. He essentially make the same argument, only with a very different kind of thief (capitalists).

He argues that capitalists love regulations (ie. the walls being closed) because they know that they can soon game the regulations (ie. steal all the food). Once that happens not only do they have everything they want (ie. all the food) but as long as the walls staying closed (ie. if the regulations stick around after industry neuters them) they actually help protect the thieves' interest.

They can choose to bring back agricultural technology that they violently destroyed, insisting on "self-sufficiency" with sub-optimal agricultural practice at any time.

Why should we freight the same food theyve already destroyed down to them while they continue to refuse to farm it themselves?

By that same logic, I could argue that the military does not need small arms, because its potential enemies have nuclear weapons and tanks.

My point being that while a nuclear weapon is more devastating than a person with a gun, a person with a gun is better able to defend himself against government tyranny than a person without a gun.

A nuke is too messy anyway, it would likely kill many of its allies along with its enemies.

The capitalism described here is crony capitalism, where the big corporations and big government collude to push out competition by using the regulations referred to in your post. Big corporations have the legal and financial resources that the little guy doesn't have. This is why big government, with their oppressive regulations, have got to go. We need free market capitalism, not crony capitalism.

It's considered suicide to take a tank alone out in the battlefield.

I'm sorry, but again, you are wrong.

An armed populace presents a HUGE problem for a modern military, even ours.

If the US has to nuke its own citizens, then the rebels have already won.

And if any of this nonsense (of the US military vs. its own citizens in some sort of Rambo guerilla warfare scenario) y'all are dreaming up ever comes to pass, we've all already lost.

Which is NOT to say "it can't happen here". Countries like Venezuela (or Turkey or ... there's lots of examples) provide a perfect example of how to go from democracy to dictatorship. There's nothing magical or special about America, inherently, that prevents us from going down that road (certainly not the 2nd amendment).

But what does protect us is our democratic institutions and traditions. At the moment if Trump (or Barack, or whoever) declared himself dictator, the armed forces would revolt. It would take time, and the corruption of our democracy, before we'd have a Venezuela-like setup where the military has no choice but to support their bosses.

But if we don't defend our democracy, we absolutely 100% could get to that point.

(As an aside, you should read about what they do to Venezuelan soldiers when the powers that be even think might be considering revolting. Essentially they bring them in, take them to a room with a big board with a cloth over it, and then pull off the cloth to reveal that the board is covered with all the family members/loved ones of the soldiers. They make it clear (without ever actually saying it) what will happen to those people if the soldiers revolt.

And that's just the ones they suspect might harbor some doubts; if they actually have proof of you defying them ... well let's just say there's a reason Maduro is still in power there.)

It's a mixture of things that protect us.

You're right, our democratic institutions do protect us, but the 2nd Amendment is our insurance in case shit really hits the fan.

Is it a guarantee that protects our freedoms? Of course not. But if I was a tyrannical dictator, I sure as hell wouldn't want to face off against a population with over 300 million firearms.

That's a nightmare scenario for any military.

since we're playing percentage retardation, why assume all the citizens will revolt? the party in power ain't going for it, mothers and children won't fight, are you gonna tacticool shoulder mount some ARs while dual wielding glocks? what happens if someone knocks on the door?

more likely a few retardos will occupy an empty government building in bumfuck nowhere and Twitter will make fun of them

About 20% of the population took part in the American revolution.

That's pretty much the way it goes.

No one said everyone would fight.

I said there's over 300 million firearms in the country.

There is a special on Netflix called the Vietnam war, every single American needs to watch it. The stuff on that show is so unbelieveable you almost have to pinch yourself.

A+ Watch but very sad

America is special, sorry you hate success and world domination. American exceptionalism is real. There is a reason we’re emulated all over the world. You lefties can’t stand the idea that something’s are just better. Cultures, religions, music, you name it. America, not-Islam etc

One of these school shootings was stopped because the little bitches AR15 jammed.

YOu should have went with a commie gun instead.

Watch Lord of War (https://g.co/kgs/YZ29K8).

You are so pathetic you can't even survive in this world without being able to shoot and kill people.

(That is pretty fucking pathetic)

Seek Christ.

Did you see that the latest school shooter was trans? (https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/adult-suspect-in-stem-school-shooting-expected-in-court-wednesday-3-students-remain-in-hospital)

Apparently every person who cuts their hair short and wears pants is trans to a conservative now.

We have no idea what medical treatment they where under if any or what their legal status was. 99% sure her ID said F.

Anyway even if she identified as a white cisgender male (wasp) 99% sure that and testosterone is why she was a psychopath.

The person in the photo isn't who I was talking about.

There were two suspects.

He’s right thoufh. The Aryan empires provided order to this world during every era of human progress. The ancient Chinese (and modern) are insular and hive minded. The mongols did great things, but had no culture and simply adopted the mores of those they conquered. America is the continuation of Rome. It must not fall. Our opponents delenda est. all options are on the table

Stop spreading bullshit. I already researched this. It's very likely just a butch crazy ass american MAGA whore who drank too much koolaid with her drugged out meth addled opiated BF who raped her and they didn't want a fucking abortion.

Vaxinations probably would have saved them.

Oh and the little cunt was from FL, I don't know about the dude.

I mean if it was a tranny, it was probably Xaanka

It was a FtM trans person.

Are you sure about their genitals chromosomes and hormones was it in the police report?

They can't be fucking trannies if they present as cissexxual fucking retards who pretend to be the opposite sex but actually aren't.
