  Like bunch of tubby Michigan militia dorks could hold off an invading army. This is so preposterous yet the MAGA crowd will eat this up like stack of pancakes. All guns have done is to make the USA a danerous place, not from foreign invaders, but from ourselves.

  I dont live in the US. I live in a country with etremely strict gun laws. Question : Why the f*ck would i trust a government that doesnt trust me to handle firearms correctly and responsibly ?

  Well Regulated Militia.

  Funny how all the gun nuts always forget about that part of the 2nd Amendment.

  Adol, what did the words ‘Well Regulated Militia’ mean when the 2nd Amendment was written ?

  It means the militia was in an effective shape to fight.” In other words, it didn’t mean the state was controlling the militia in a certain way, but rather that the militia was prepared to do its duty.

  Regardless of your stance on gun control, it looks like the book description is actually undermining its own thesis, given the performance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

  Nothing. The 2nd is about preventing your OWN state from oppresing you.
  The armed populace not being fun to invade does not really work as well in modern warfare.

  This feeble attempt to shoehorn the war in Ukraine into a domestic issue is preposterous. If anything, Ukraine shows that armed citizens are no match against drones, fighter jets and hypersonic missiles.

  Adol you forget the second part. the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. That implies absolutely everyone has a right to bear arms even if it is not a militia.

  @Ccool3 The first part supercedes the second part. Thus the second part means to bear arms to participate in a militia, not what the current NRA gun nut interpretation is all about.

  Limp dick right-wing militia LARPers will read this and ejaculate on every page as they’re fantasizing about toxically masculine death fantasies that fuel the kind of mass shootings we see in America. You know who you are… seek therapy.

  While mealymouthed liberals will whine that guns in the hands of the people cannot possible have any utility against an army. If that were true Vietnam would have been a cake walk. Or why has Afghanistan never been conquered by the worlds super powers? What about Israel getting their asses handed to them on May 24, 2000?

  War games conducted in the 80s from joint USSR / CCP think tanks that have been release since the dissolution of Central Committee have shown that a land war with the US would have resulted in a failure; not because of the US military, which at the time was particularly weak, but because of the massive amount of guns in general circulation.

  The truth is that guns exist to kill. Humans and animals. That’s what they do. And that function is in fact very useful and critical to maintaining society.

  I’ll add one more note: a well armed proletarian is capable of overthrowing the capitalists who steal our labor. Arm yourself and take what is rightfully yours.

  Word on the street is our handguns and ARs are really effective against ballistic missiles. Said no sane person ever.

  Tell that to Kurdistan. The ignorance of the actual world in liberal discourse is staggering.

  Charlton Heston kept guns, and still he died.

  I blame the EU.

  Ah, so the solution seems to be to collect all the Americans’ guns… but hand them out again, when Canada finally decides to invade.

  Yeah, Ukraine taught us that you need guns when you are invaded by a foreign army. The government handed them out from armouries to well regulated militias to protect the country.

  Failing to see the link to rednecks having guns on their night stands to shoot their dicks off when they wake in confusion. Or teenagers buying AR15s and looking for Antifa to murder in a protest. Or Fox addled retirees having a weapon to shoot black kids who knock on their door.

  Using the war in Ukraine to push a pro gun agenda.whats happening in Ukraine is nothing to do with citizen having arms. Don’t insult the people of Ukraine with this right wing nonsense
