Guns for law-abiding people are probably not bad

I think it's a little bit odd when people tell me that they need weapons because the government could become tyrannical and use the army on the people.

What are you going to do with your small weapon when they send in the tanks ? They have drones and planes. I doubt the people would win.

The best argument to carry weapons is to use the weapon in self defense towards a criminal.

Have you played battlefield ? You might be a soldier running around with a weapon but the tanks will blow you up and you can't hurt them back.

I always wonder what people who are stockpiling arms potentially against our government think they’re going to do if they find themselves facing the nuclear weapons this country has available.

@bijouxbroussard not even Biden would be so stupid and craven as to use nukes on his own country. That is the action of a third world tyrant, and if our government were to do that for any reason, the world would see them as such. Not to mention they would never again have the faith and trust of any American

@PrivateHell So I ask again, [b]what[/b] do the people think stockpiling arms against their country would achieve when the country in question has nuclear weapons ?
I’m not concerned about Biden nuking the U.S. We’ve already [b]had[/b] a president who wanted to send in the National Guard against citizens just for protesting. Of course, that was only [b]certain[/b] citizens. And that’s why certain citizens lack trust for the government.

@bijouxbroussard you're right. But there is a huge difference between sending soldiers against armed civilian terrorists taking over city blocks, and nuking entire segments of our own cities.

You see how upset you and others got over that decision? It would nothing compared to dropping a nuke.

@PrivateHell I look at how some people were able to storm the Capitol building while [b]armed[/b]; one was only killed after breaching the inner sanctum. They even established a make-shift [b]gallows[/b] and chanted “Hang Pence” as a [b]terrorist[/b] group would. Somehow some were [b]still[/b] referring to them as “Patriots”.
