Both countries are founded on the blood of indigenous people.

 

[Smart Marx]

That's an entirely different topic, but sure. That, too.

 

[Hoss]

I was just giving one example

 

[Smart Marx]

You were, but you were trying to undermine why the US has the relationship it does to gun laws. This was so important to our founding it was literally the second amendment in our bill of rights. Only freedom of speech and religion were considered more important.

 

[Hoss]

But I also don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell any form of militia would be able to defeat the US military at this point in time. Not with the advances we've made.

 

[Deezy]

half them mikitia groups are fighting diabetes....not government tyranny

 

[Hoss]

I don't think a militia would last a single day if the US gov't saw them as a serious threat. That is also assuming the US gov't got so out of hand that people would want to revolt. I mean we haven't yet and shit has gotten pretty dire.

 

[Hoss]

I'm sure at some point there will be another serious revolution but I doubt civilians with their guns will be much of a problem for the gov't.

 

[Deezy]

What if mass shootings were declared "an act of terror"?

 

[Smart Marx]

Maybe not, but it's important to the US Constitution that if say the world's favorite POTUS decided he didn't want to leave on 2020, we at least have the opportunity. But, then again Vietnam kicked our ass. Anything is possible.

 

[Deezy]

Would people treat it more seriously than they do now? And you could say anyone supporting gun rights are advocating for terrorists?

 

[Hoss]

Well, if it's done in the name of white supremacy or something of that nature, it should automatically qualify as an act of terror

 

[Hoss]

Just by definition

 

[Smart Marx]

Democrats already call them acts of terror. Americans aren't that easily fooled, though.

 

[Deezy]

Aren't that easily fooled?
