nebris~The whole 'US Military Is Undefeatable" argument is not only Fascistic, it's false. It has lost nearly every war it's fought since the end of WW2.
The primary purpose of The Armed Citizen is not to fight a guerrilla war against the US Govt. It is to make the idea of such a conflict so awful to said govt, that they never seriously consider imposing nationwide Martial Law.
The AR-15 is largely a symbol. It's an okay weapon that is cheap and easy to manufacture. So easy it can [and is] produced in garages with 3D printers and a few machine tools.
But quite a few folks out here have much more serious weapons and tens of thousands of US Vets know how to build and deploy IED's.
There are insane right wing militias up in Idaho and at least 100,000 armed gang members in LA alone. Banning the AR is a bullshit band-aid that achieves absolutely nothing.
