What is your opinion on the Second Amendment?

Do you believe citizens should not own fire arms?

Do you think the government shouldn’t decide how a citizen defends him or herself

Etc.

Discuss, be civil.

@MarmeeMarch Without the [i]military[/i] support of the French, the revolution would have been stillborn. Even back then, there is only so much hillbillies could do.
@QuixoticSoul The hillbillies fought guerrilla warfare and surprised the hell out of the men wearing for some reason a RED coat - might as well have had a bullseye painted on it.
Doesn't matter who they were and yes the French did help us, prob. the first and last time. But this ragtag band of so called Hillbillies slapped King George silly. Defeat the most powerful military at that time - how embarrassing - no wonder KG III went mad and masturrbated in the streets of London..

@MarmeeMarch Nah, that’s mostly overblown self-congratulations. The British also used skirmish warfare, and leaned on native Americans for a lot of woodland stuff and scouting (we responded with genocide and rape, all in a day’s work).

People weren’t idiots, continental armies fought like they did for good reasons. It was the only reliable way to create mass casualties on the battlefield at the time, and created decisive engagements.

In the end, we had to learn how as well - with French arms and help. And their navy.
@QuixoticSoul Yes we did have help from a German General too - Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. But war is hell and you know what they say -all's fair.

@MarmeeMarch Bearing in mind that North America was primarily colonised by the Brits, your War of Independence was fundamentally one group of Brits fighting another.
@room101 right - so ? the ones that wanted to settle and the ones that wanted the land and the trees for the ship masts.

@room101 Absolutely correct. They won't have that, typical American "Willy Waving" 🤦‍♀️
Little ol Vietnam kicked their arse (and half the country was on their side)! 😁

@MarmeeMarch [i]"right - so ?"[/i]

So stop bleating on about how you beat the Brits and it was because of your 2nd Amendment that you did so.

Your 2nd Amendment calls for a "well regulated militia". A bunch of nutjobs waving around their dick substitutes does not constitute a well regulated militia. The only thing that its been successful in doing is directly causing the deaths of 32,000 Americans every year and, making mass shootings a national pastime. Even as the ink was drying on the document, it was destined to be little more than toilet paper.

@room101 That's just it - a bunch of nutjobs as you say wiped the ass of King George III when you people tried to invade our developing nation. How is it that a new untrained ragtag band of people with guns slapped the living shit out of the most powerful military at that time ? - I mean why is that ?
But I guess its OK when we helped you during the world wars. I understand you were too demoralized and still recovering from the 1700's war. - You people didn't cry and call us nutjobs - you couldn't , your lips were too attached to our asses.

@MarmeeMarch If you weren't so indoctrinated with your MAGA bullshit, I'd suggest that you re-read your history. Both for the period of your so-called War of Independence and the two World Wars.

But, as usual, you're a lost cause. Enjoy giving out your thoughts and prayers the next time the kids in one of your schools are shot to pieces.
@room101 oh thats right - everything I said is false.

@MarmeeMarch Yep!👏👏👏
