    You really don’t get it, do you?

    We are rapidly approaching the time in which it will be necessary for the militia to defend the United States against a domestic enemy, if we aren’t there already. For that, they need to be just as well-armed, up to and including burst-fire AR-15s.

    Assault rifles are the type of firearms most worthy of Constitutional protection, not least, specifically because they are the last defense against tyranny. The more useful a weapon is in a military tactical context, the more I want the citizenry to have it.

      The “2nd amendment is important for a militia to protect us from tyranny” crowd is more ineffective than the Democrats.

      Your AR-15s are gonna do fuck all to tanks and UAVs.

      And you think Russia and China are just going to sit back and watch the USA build up from the ashes after you get massacred by some inbreds?

          Didn’t help that Trump released 5000 Taliban Fighters and voluntarily withdrew from Afghanistan, and that Taliban received financial support from Iran which is backed by Russia and China, but you’re ignoring the fact that the Taliban’s most successful tactics involved high explosives and guerilla warfare which resulted in massive civilian casualties.

          Is that who you want to be? Dictatorship funded civilian murderers?
