I literally just used 60 million. just stop man. you didn’t even respond to what i said. you just want to argue.

Good one. Between them and our countries veteran population, thats a decent distribution of trained shooters across the entire country, people who can offer some leadership and training to the fighting force. I don’t know why people think americans would suck at this. I think the american public would end up forming…

What do you think an invading army would do against 60 million gun owners even? kill everyone of them? If not, thats gonna be one hell of an issue for an occupying force. And, No one said we have to fight them head on. With 60 million people using asymmetrical tactics like the one used against us in the middle east…

“Only gun nuts and career criminals own guns” ahahahahahahahah COTD

Your argument is really that we are too violent towards each other right now? What do you think sunnis and shiites do? All those arabs do is kill each other. Over a few words written thousands of years ago. Pretty fuckin stupid right?

My argument isn’t that they are 1:1 a better fighting force. I never said that, although i got a little over zealous with assuming their weaponry. I am trying to say what you’re going for in the second paragraph. To beat the US on our home turf you would literally have to kill of the civilian population like the…

I'm sorry you're so pessimistic.

Fair enough, that’s much more reasonable for a hunter. But don’t you think my point stands? do our chances in this hypothetical situation really get destroyed with the exclusion of a lmg? (Many people own these anyways. It's not hard to buy it legally and modify it to fire full auto in some states)

/TIL

Who said they did have the military instinct a solider would have? You’re trolling. I shouldn’t have even responded.

This was the definition I assumed too, you're definitely not the only one thinking that

Yup. Thanks for debunking that fallacy. Nothing is stopping us from instantly switching to localized food production either. Like you said, we are only using a small percent of arable land. A lot of the country is still rural enough to do this it seems, hell even subrubia’s stereotypical front lawn could be turned…

Ya, the U.S. does have a fairly high density of educated people. They will surely use that intelligence to the best of their ability. I'm sure that has got to make thing more difficult than fighting a bunch of idiots.

I’m sorry sir, history says otherwise. And actually, now that I dig really deep into those books, I realize that the U.S. is currently involved in at least two conflicts where said “armed civilians” kill “trained soldiers” everyday. I can go on. Remember how the United States gained its independence? “Armed civilians”…

Probably... Still, wouldn’t want to fight against 200 million angry insurgents on their home turf equipped with large trucks, military assault rifles, and big game hunting rifles. Look at what the Iraqis or afghanis did to the U.S. Army with mostly old, decrepit weapons.

This is what I always think too... Call Americans what you want, but they would make one hell of an insurgent army. I feel like every hunter is equipped with weapons on par with like a 4 man military squad.

I love this one. Reminds me of puppies thinking they are way bigger and scarier than they actually are. It works perfect to me.

I voted for this. Still looks like a baby shoe to me.

it looks like one of those really tiny baby shoes

I saw this off the 101 just north of 405. I literally couldn't stop laughing. Yes its that huge. Its absurd in every sense.
