    He asked what disarming the masses would look like. No need for much imagination.

    That's SlyPokerdog's M.O. Say shit to sound like he's a hipster but act like he's not one, and that he's much smarter than he is, and in the end come off sounding like a dumb fuck.

    yeah, but the point is, the government wouldn't NEED to disarm the masses. They already own far more weapons and bombs than the masses do.

    If they wanted to, they could take away the guns on a whim.

    Yeah, because all the conflicts we've been in with armed citizens have been cake-walks.

    Most military members I know own guns personally. Do you see the military as a whole getting into an armed conflict with pro-gun citizens over taking away their guns? Seriously?

    Since I have an ax to grind, and since I have this soapbox here, this is clearly the one and only source of the problem

    IEDs.

    Sheer numbers. 2.5M military vs. 350M+ enemies.

    I bet most of the military would desert.

    That's because they're limited in what they can do. if they're taking away the guns, it's obviously because the government has become tyrannical. And if it has, it wouldn't care about who they killed.

    Point being, the government isn't going to take away guns, won't try to take away guns and hasn't ever tried to.

    We've had this discussion before, I dunno why I bother. Saying we need guns to protect us from the government, and then saying we would protect ourselves with things like IEDs and other illegal forms of weapons just seems incredibly stupid to me. I thought the legal guns were enough to stop the evil tyrannical government. And if they're not, then why is that the reason put forth? Why not say we should all get nukes, and have one giant nuclear standoff between the citizens and the government, just in case.

    Armed citizenry has kept the government honest for the most part.

    Our military has been fighting an army of 30,000 in Iraq and Syria and isn't winning. Not winning in Afghanistan, either.

    The nukes schtick is just silly.

    The nukes mention is just as silly as comparing our armed populace to the armed terrorists in middle east as if they possess only what is legal to own in the US

    Looks like the shooter went to a school for kids with "learning disabilities" and "emotional issues" in a class of 5.

    Assymetric warfare. It's not a difficult concept.
