Gun lovers make it clear they will go to war against anyone who would effectively control guns.

(29,205 posts)they won't win. Most are rank amateurs.
After a few hundred are taken out by professionals, most of the rest will surrender their guns.

(39,171 posts)the reason politicians fear the NRA is that they bring the votes. There would be immense pressure on politicians from pro-gun states - they will not commit political suicide.

(9,895 posts)Seriously, if armed morons with shotguns, rifles and pistols in the hinterlands really believe that they can withstand a direct assault from an attack helicopter with Hellfire missiles, a Stealth bomber strafing, an Abrams tank barrage, or a special ops unit attack...be my guest...I'll set the over-under on their survival at about 6 seconds.
These gun humpers threatening armed insurrection can all take a massive bite of my shit, swish it around and swallow. Fuck them and their precious guns. I want the military that has been sucking my tax dollars for decades to do something that I would actually support for a change - put them down like rabid dogs and forget their pathetic lives ended in suicidal idiocy.
I want a law passed that has nothing to do with guns rights....I want a law that says any NRA members in a place where mass shootings happen are required by law to clean up the bits of skull and bone and flesh and blood at the scene with their bare hands and some paper towels, they are responsible for cleaning the floors and windows and walls of the accumulated carnage, and they are required by law to view the bodies and wounds of every victim. Then they can go home and look at themselves in the mirror and vomit to their heart's content. I don't want their fucking guns, I want to stir the tiny vestiges of humanity in their black souls to make them regain an ounce of empathy and human understanding that armor-piercing bullets fired at 100 rounds a second are not a "right", they are a "symptom" and if you have the disease, you need treatment to cure you of the affliction.

If this weren't the case, they would lose and there wouldn't be a damn thing they could do about it, just like most of the rest of the civilized world.

(12,618 posts)Remember how right before and after Charlottesville, all the Nazis were screaming about a race war and saying their time had come? A few weeks later they tucked tail and ran after the backlash came. Same thing would happen if these idiots ever followed through on their threats.
At the end of the day, gun humpers are both outnumbered and outgunned by the military, the police, non-psychotic gun owners, and the general public at large that would not put up with their terrorism.

I have no trouble telling gun fetishists their habit is dangerous and disgusting.
Within my family fools and their guns are soon separated.
