    On Dec 29 1890 the Fed government tried to take guns from the Sioux indians at Wounded Knee. This overbearing move by big government resulted in the death of 297 men women and children. Think what would happen today if the radical left tried to confiscate all the guns in the country now.

    Wouldn't happen today.

    The second amendment is probably the most protected amendment we have currently, its not going anywhere without a whole string of court cases and an entirely different court.

    The court has made enough rulings on it to ensure its solidly in place except for acts of tyranny but then, well, we'd have our guns out anyways and we'd be fighting in the streets.

    Yet another right wing paranoid post about some imaginary "threat" that no one is seriously talking about.

    Since it was a Republican President at the time, maybe we shouldn't elect any more Republicans to office.

    Funny. It seems you are the one having a hard time understanding history.

    I'm not sure what good guns in the U.S. would do against a radical leftist regime. They don't need you to litteraly hand over the gun. They'd likely use drone strikes. Watch footage of ISIS getting hit be drones. Their fully automatic weapons did not help. It wouldn't be too hard hit the clusters of survivalist compounds either. Even I was able to find some on Google at one point so imagine what military resources could do.

    What do you mean? I watch those videos for entertainment. I love the fact that these theist "real men" get blown to pieces by some young kid with a remote control sitting in a chair on the other side of the world. Yet they say the decadent, secular West is so inferior. Let them say that when they're coughing up their lungs and their villages burn.

    Sorry, I appreciate you pointing out that their is a mistake, but I'm not seeing it. What implied I was against ISIS being put down?

    Why did the term "leftist" sneak into this? Are you saying conservatives wouldn't have done the same? Or you would rather they send in ground troops and get them killed in the process??

    I see. I was replying in terms of the original post. But yes, conservatives could use drones as well.
