I submit Exhibit A for why the average American should not be allowed to own a firearm. Or, apparently, a bee.

An anonymous message board post is your first exhibit in this theoretical courtroom deciding whether Americans should be allowed to own guns?

If the jews had guns they totally would have been able to defend themsleves from the waffen SS, amirite? Just like how if every American was packing a glock we'd totally be able to counter a monopoly of force by the single most powerful military machine in human history. Most American civilians are overweight or obese.

Ok do you not remember this "single most powerful military machine" vs the people of vietnam? Was not that long ago and the Vietnamese were not highly trained or highly armed, and they gave us one hell of a run for our money, there are plenty other examples of this but its not even worth wasting time trying to explain to a brick wall... The jews could of easily fought back if they were all armed an not scared, like in 1776 we fought yet another single most powerful military machine at the time, The British empire with 4-6% of our population in the current colonies, and we won.

All i know is i have a few guns/ammo in case i ever have to use them, i.e. burglary, self defense, ww3, zombie apoc. I think you are ill prepared for a real world scenario if you don't.

Look, being prepared for a situation that may or may not occur makes you a survivalist moron.

Just kidding, you're spot on. It never hurts to own something that our constitution guarantees you the right to own as a precautionary measure.

You seem to be taking things a little too seriously. I assume you are the proud owner of a firearm and a double-digit IQ.

Whoa don't give me too much credit. Double digit means 10 or more IQs right? That's pretty lofty. I wish I had a gun, they're cool.

They didn't give us a run for our money, we mowed them down like grass. Tactical victory, after tactical victory. The Viet Cong had 10x as many combat deaths as the USA. Ultimately it was an unwinnable conflict in the strategic sense, because the rules of engagement prevented NATO from mistreating civilians, or routing enemy forces in their havens in neighboring countries without black ops. Similar to our current conflict in Afghanistan, we have complete force superiority. We, at this moment, have the power to round up every Afghan man, woman, and child, and kill them. That would end the conflict. The issue of win vs. no-win lies in the rules of engagement, not in the power of our military machine.

Similarly, the American revolution was a battle more against British willpower than British military might. We made it an expensive war on an already debt-laden empire. It just wasn't worth it for them to try and lock down what was only a marginally profitable set of colonies compared to their holdings in India and elsewhere.

Nazi Germany? No, the Jews would have gone against the ~entirety~ of the Nazi war machine, who had no rules of engagement precluding the massacre of men, women and children. No amount of assault rifles or Jewish survivalist rednecks would have changed that outcome, sorry.

This is a mature understanding of the value of a gun.

An immature understanding of the value of a gun would be a belief that you should carry your gun everywhere you go to defend yourself from unspeakable terrors that may await at Starbucks and to Red Dawn your way to freedom against The Government when they come to take your guns, women, and college football team.

You shut your mouth. George Washington rode his unicorn of justice straight to the throne of King Hitler and snatched America away from those dirty Viet Cong.
