Is it easy to buy weapons in the united states?

Those "wackos" you all keep referring to, is a double edged sword.

While y'all are likely right that despite owning alot of weapons, it'd be meaningless because having steel in your hands is useless if you don't have steel Inside you.

But those "wackos" are also a very extensive supply of support for them who do have steel Inside and just need to get some in thier hands.

For example, the IRA at it's most effective was said to have had no more than 500 or so members. They went through great trouble to smuggling weapons from Libya and elsewhere.

And yet, those 500 people managed to bankrupt the world's colonial superpower at the time. And did so right in thier own back yard. Primarily with simple firearms and crude explosives.

A relatively small group of people, can be very effective under certain operational methods. Especially with a decent enough amount of public support. Both open and secret.

Those "wackos" could easily be a real asset and supply line under the right circumstances.

I say let them horde em up all they want. Sooner or later they'll wind up in the right hands. Should the need arise.

That's the whole intent behind the second amendment.

I see you got triggered by that word I used. Ok how about this. Not to agree or disagree with the current government, but what would you say the odds of a few guys armed with AR-15s have against the best trained and best supplied military in the world? You think even with 500 of them, they'd win? And really with all the NSA/FBI/CIA surveillance, what makes you think you can even organize a group together?

And the thing is you know it whether or not you want to admit it that there is no way on earth to beat the US government with some AR rifles. You won't admit it, but you know deep in your heart that if you ever tried to carry out this Rambo fantasy, you'd either end up dead or in prison along with any accomplices you may have. And the other "whackos" that also talk about their civil war 2.0 know this too. That's why they won't do anything ever. Not to mention almost all of them don't have the savagery inside them needed to carry it out if they wanted to.

At one time I thought the idea of the possibility of an insurrection was a far-fetched idea, not so much now. However, with that said, I’m choosing to focus more on the following. . . .

Can't have an insurrection with an erection, that's for sure.

Not sure about The Cure, are they considered emo?

An erection with an insurrection could change the direction for sure.

Yup they are emo. Now that would be funny to see at a shooting range, someone in a Cure t-shirt.

My insurrection would lean left. A Celine Dion or Backstreet Boys t-shirt would be pretty funny, too.

Haha.

Nope. No trigger here. Just wanted to make sure y'all knew we're talking about the same people.

But, your absolutely incorrect here : And the thing is you know it whether or not you want to admit it that there is no way on earth to beat the US government with some AR rifles.

The US government has been beaten by little brown men wearing sandals and riding camels in the desert. With little more than Russian WW2 surplus weapons.

They've been beaten by little barefoot Asian men in the jungle with cheap Chinese rifles.

Guerillas in Columbia, Nicaragua.

They've been beaten by scrawny starving Koreans in the mountains.

The common theme is that guerilla tactics and strategy isn't comparable to lining up to fight force against force. The entire weight of their military machine fell squarely on a small population of Arabs in the mountains of Afghanistan. And after 20 years, they still haven't been beaten. They'll leave eventually, and those people will persist.

The IRA never once squared off in force to the British military. And yet they beat them.

Because when your enemy has to sit down to negotiate with you because they can't beat you, then your no longer an adversary. But a rival for power. And that means you've won.

Don't fool yourself with notions of grandeur and invincibility. Rome fell to the barbarians. So will the democrat party empire. Most empire's fall from within. And liberal utopian empire will fall too

It's a matter only of when. Not if

But we agree completely that most of those wackos don't have the necessary steel Inside them for that task.

But 500 men who do, bound tightly by a common cause and desire, would be more than plenty with the proper tactics and strategy involved.

Gaining enough public support and sympathy would likely evolve quickly into unaffiliated splinter groups, also reeking havok. It could easily get so confusing nobody would know who was who. And every time the pressure is ratcheting up, more splinter groups appear. Yes many will wind up dead and in prison. But for every one lost, three more join.

Hell, less than 100 men could do it. Under the right circumstances.

Once again. It was the purpose of the second amendment to see it realized when necessary.
