The majority of those weapons are useless for occupation, and that argument is quite old, worn and invalid. There is a reason the US has spent trillions on Iraq and Afghanistan with no marked success against "terrorist" organizations and local forces fighting a guerrilla war. You can't shoot what you can't see, whether with an M4 or with an M1 Abrams. Of course, you could nuke everything, but nuking your own country is literal suicide.
Good God man, can you even see what you're actually writing here? This kinda conspiracy-therory-mongering is right up there with the "faked" moon landing and aliens landing at Roswell. You're actually
seriously proposing that people should be allowed to carry guns so that they can wage a succesful guerilla war against the government when it becomes an oppressive dictatorship in the future?
This is
highly unlikely and really far-fetched (there are
far too many non-gun-related laws and other measures in place to ensure that the U.S. could never lose its democracy and replace it with a dictatorship) , although a
great example of how some
mindless sheep pursuing an agenda that has been
brainwashed into them will say
anything to support it. Oh yes, I've come across many other similar people to you who quite readily say anything - no matter how ridiculous or non-logical - to support some great shining ideal that they are prostrating themselves before, whether it be communists in China or religious zealots anywhere in the world. They go around quoting their relevant holy book or political manifesto as if it were
absolute truth, utterly
disregarding any inconsistencies, errors, or gray areas, and
never for a minute allowing themselves to consider that their opinion may have been force-fed or programmed into them, and
never bothering to think for themslves with an open mind.
It's much easier to follow a blindly-marching herd like than to try forge your
own view of the world - I would know, because I used to be like this too. I don't have any political agenda here at all, I am merely approaching the problem with
rational and logical common sense. And if you possess any of these with relation to
nature of the human psyche, you would realize the following to be true:
* the sole purpose of guns is to
kill people in a split second
* guns can
easily escalate drunken brawls to murder
* guns can easily escalate arguments and fist fights into slayings
* guns can easily escalate road rage incidents into slaughter
* guns can easily escalate situation of a child innocently exploring their home into a situation of shooting themselves in the face
* guns can easily escalate a brief momentary lack of care into death/or a lifetime of tragedy
* if there are no guns in a society, people don't need them for protection
* even if you are actually able to defend yourself with a gun (which is
far more unlikely than any of the above scenarios) you would still have killed or seriously injured another person, when non-lethal methods would get the job done just as well in most cases.
* the idea of keeping guns in order to wage a guerilla war against the evil government in the future is pathetically and laughably ridiculous.
* the
real reason "gun nuts" wanna keep their guns is because they spent thousands of dollars on them and they think they are "real men" who are "so cool/macho/powerful/etc" if they have a good-looking gun. They just use N.R.A. propoganda as a
convenient crutch for their ego-stroking yet deadly hobby.
To be honest, I would have thought metalheads in general would be more of an open-minded kind (read "
people who aren't brainwashed into mindless minions of illogical political manifestos") due largely to the very nature of metal, and I find it quite surprising that we've had not one but several people here parroting N.R.A. political propoganda as if they seriously believe it to be absolute truth.
, but it'd be a lot more difficult.
