Saddam Hussein's Iraq had lots of guns in the hands of the people. We've found that out the hard way. But it was a tyranny nevertheless.<BR/><BR/>- Badtux the History PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-25279631941063267922008-11-13T13:56:00.000-08:002008-11-13T13:56:00.000-08:00It's sort of like when the Louisiana legislature w...It's sort of like when the Louisiana legislature was shouting at Governor Earl Long to resist the desegregation order for Louisiana colleges back in '58 or so. Ole' Uncle Earl just looked at them and said, "are you fucking *crazy*? We're talking about the Federal Government here. They got the goddamned "ATOMIC BOMB!*."<BR/><BR/>The fact of the matter is that the Feds have hundreds of thousands of vicious people on their payroll and access to hundreds of thousands more on state and local police forces. Figure we have over 2 million folks with guns working for the government at all levels, with an unprecedented surveillance state to support their ability to take out anybody they feel is a threat and the ability to concentrate and take those people out long before any resistance could concentrate and mount an effective resistance. Taking on these guys with an AR-15 is suicide. 'Nuff said there.<BR/><BR/>- Badtux the Practical PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-50529295585135803862008-11-13T12:44:00.000-08:002008-11-13T12:44:00.000-08:00Our local small town cops have infra-red capabilit...Our local small town cops have infra-red capability in their po-leece cars.

You're gonna run out sooner or later and need re-supply.<BR/><BR/>Those who think survival will resemble their vision of it are dreamers. <BR/><BR/>When the feces hits the air-mover, size won't matter.

It's also a bit harder when you don't control the police or just about anything else in a foreign country.<BR/><BR/>What I really get a kick out of is that I've met folks like you're describing who were in the military, Busted. It just astonishes that these guys don't make the connection that the stuff they worked with in the military isn't available to the private sector.Cujo359https://www.blogger.com/profile/10385213658828021737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-88282694524070459842008-11-12T00:03:00.000-08:002008-11-12T00:03:00.000-08:00Well with seven years of trying and all that tech ...Well with seven years of trying and all that tech they still haven't gotten uncle Bin have they?<BR/>I think this is just one more parting shots for Bush?Cheney to rob the country and make their NRA buddies richer.Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.com
