So you invite the Muslims to slaughter us? We don't have as many deaths as the French.

Do you know how to prevent these combinational domestic-foreign terrorist attacks?

You are being totally ridiculous.
I just gave an example of a country where there are strict laws about gun ownership, and many terrorists are stopped by armed people.

Just saw a gun with Psalm 144:1 engraved on it, which states
"Blessed be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle"

On the setting, there's "Peace" (safety), "War" (semi), and "God Wills It" (auto)

US Supreme Court gives nod to assault weapons ban
Babbling Idiots Strike Again.
I have a question: Does the Supreme Court really think their ban will stop terrorist and criminals?

I think the US Supreme Court should be done away with before they finish destroying the country.

:plain: Relax...They didn't ban anything...They just refused to listen to a challenge to a local ban. I'd be willing to bet that, given the present climate, they were afraid of the ruling they may come up with if they did choose to hear it.

Do you think OJ Simpson would have been acquitted if he haven't had the "dream team" representing him?

OJ Simpson was acquitted because there was a mainly black jury.

I don't believe for one moment that they didn't know he was 100% guilty.

OJ and Johnnie Cochran worked the system, he deserves his freedom.

Let's acknowledge the hard knock here instead of sulking about it-
you're the one who agrees and believes in the system! It's white people who made it happen.

Even an AR-15 won't stop the military if it turns on us.

'The military' is not some robot. It comprises of citizens whom many wouldn't stand for going against countrymen.
Soldiers would be split. This is exactly what happened with the Civil War, why would it be different now?

Liberals have become so leaned toward government that they tend to think of it and society being two completely different entities. They are not- we live in a constitutional republic.

I predict it would be a totally different type of war. Sure, soldiers might be split but there are a bunch of other things to be afraid of. Needless to say, an AR-15 is no real match for a drone.

It DID ensure that no one at the scene of 14 murders and 21 woundings
fired back and ended it early.


So that's "early"? Wasn't this the incident where one of the shooters dropped their clip as they were reloading, which was another delay of several seconds?

and would a twenty year old soldier piloting that drone be willing to target a suburban household in Anywhere, USA?

:plain: I hear variations of your statement all the time. There is no such thing really as a "different kind of war". Sure, the weapons change, and the powers involved certainly do both forcing elaborations on the basic situations but warfare and tactics remain basically the same. If this were not the case generals would not study the tactics of those who came before them.

Needless to say, an AR-15 is no real match for a drone.

:doh: Ughh...This one too. One of the basic concepts is asymmetrical warfare. It's what has been used against us in all of our little excursions overseas, it's what the Russians had to deal with in Afghanistan, what we had to deal with in Vietnam. It's what enabled the colonists during the American Revolution to successfully pursue a campaign of attrition which eventually delivered independence.

"What match is an AR-15 against a drone or an M1 Tank?"

Who is stupid enough to stand toe to toe with either armed only with a rifle? :AMR:

....Well, besides Palestinians of course. :think:

Point being only an absolute moron would believe they could face even a fraction of the American military with any sort of militia and be victorious.

Yes, he/she just might. Consider the suicide bomber who believes he/she is doing the will of alah. Now consider the 20 year old soldier who honestly believes that destroying a house and killing citizens is what it takes to keep his country safe.
