Re: BREAKING!! Obama to bypass congress to ban semiautomatic firearms!!
Why are people so afraid that Obama will take their guns? Is it really the black thing?
 Quoting: Phill


You've GOT to be kidding. You think people don't want to lose their defensive capabilities because of a racial thing?

I can't fathom how close-minded you must be.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 610727


Well when has Obama said he is going to take away all guns? I have never heard him say that hence why I said is it really the black thing a.i. I find this whole reaction so absurd that I can't think of any other reason than racial prejudice.
 Quoting: Phill


People were equally concerned when Clinton was POTUS and in fact he and Janet Reno did ban the import of many guns they deemed "scary looking" or whatever the criteria was. I think it was if something was called an assault weapon, they banned it regardless of what it was.

Now I know Clinton calls himself the first black POTUS but he isn't really. Just white treash from Arkansas.
One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.

Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway.

hahaha. If you had some, as I do, and had some experience with it, you'd understand, but since you dont, it doesnt matter.
Believe what you want, the concern over penetrance of milspec vests by edged or icepick items is something left over from the early days of civilian ballistic protection, something you wont have to worry about when the boyz come to visit.
You seem to have forgotten the point, which is no personal weapon in civilian hands, save for a 50 bmg or and 88 magnum is going to concern any officially designated raiding parties or for that matter, slow them down.

I have the best body armor made and if I get hit with a FMJ 375 ruger I'm toast dont kid yourself about body armor protection. The rounds most prepper shoot from thier high power deer rifles are home grown nasty boys. 20 years in CJSOTF and I assure you even the mil spec won't stand up to the FAL FMJ it just won't happen. And even if you can manage to stop penetration of multiple FMJ hits I assure you that the receiver will not be on his feet anytime soon. I took a single 7.59 to the chicken plate and it was like getting kicked by a damm mule. Don't let Hollywood fool you.

there is no bullet 'proof', there is bullet 'resistant', and in soft armor that pertains to standard pistol and shotgun munitions. Rifle munitions require the proper hard plates, and that is that.
I'm not kidding anyone, I'm trying to stick to reality, and reality is that antique weapons are not worthy or reliable adversaries or defences against a modern military force.
Anything else is not the topic, no matter how hard effort is made by others to massage the topic in their favor.
The fantasy that a civilian resistance stands any chance against an official opposing force with no functional restrictions to amount of force used is just that, a fantasy.

You are stating that White Americans are racist against a Black president. Singling out a race is RACIST at the very core of its definition!!!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13310174


It would be racist if I said white Americans are racist BECAUSE they are white. It has to be based on race. Singling out a race is NOT racist. So by your logic a poll concluding that Mexicans tend to vote for Obama is racist.
 Quoting: Phill


You are clearly stating about a white Americans character. And the character you portray is that whites are racist. By your logic I can say that Obama is just screwing whites because he is racist... That wouldn't be offensive to an African American?!

Mexicans voting for Obama does not say anything negative towards any race. You make ZERO sense!!!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13310174


Quite frankly, I am a white American, and I find it highly offensive that because I don't agree with what someone is doing, I am singled out as being Racist! That is racist towards me! ... I deal with racism day in and day out. You just talk about it.

Infact I was talking about the people who go crazy about this fear mongering about Obama taking away guns.

It would have been racist if I had said "all people who go crazy over this are white so therefor they are racist"

If you said Obama is screwing whites because he is racist you are making a claim about an individual. How does that relate to race? And it might be offensive to an African American, being offense towards a person of a particular race is NOT racist.
Racism is when you refuse to hire a person simply because of his race and not based on his qualities or lack thereof.

You have alot to learn about war, it's not like the video game were you just send in the troops and artillery. The number one cause of failure in battle is not loss of life it is loss of morale and drive. These are two things that are impossible to over come because our volunteer military is diverse and from all 50 states with moral ties far deeper than any oath. Then you have the established 45-60% that are in the military for the check. When a warfighter like Tommy Franks says it can't be done.... It can't be done. This is real world not video games or some half ass third world country... You really have no clue.

You assume in this scenario that the members of the armed forces will be convinced to attack their fellow citizens. I don't share that assumption. In fact, I have just the opposite assumption.

TPTB need people to fly those planes and drive those tanks. They need minions to kill fellow citizens. I don't believe that they will have the needed forces that are willing to turn on their own fellow citizens.

I may be wrong, but I have faith that many if not most military members would join the fight against the government if it got to that point.

fear of hunger and holding families hostage can be effective motivators to loot and murder, throughout history.
You dont need that many to do the deed, you simply need enough manpower to cut off access to power and supplies. After a week or two all resistance will effectively be over.
Somehow someone helped kill off millions of their neighbors in russia, china, cambodia, vietnam, etc etc. Who were those people and what were they promised?

I'm high offended. Over 85% of Americans do not have ancestors that owned slaves.

YOU are a racists for pointing out color and accusing people of voting against it.
 Quoting: Little Willow


No that is not racist. By your logic you wouldn't be able to accuse anyone of racism since you point out people of a certain colour and accuse other people of being against them simply because of colour.
 Quoting: Phill


THAT IS RACIST!!! THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!!! ITS A STEREOTYPE WITH RACE ATTACHED!!!

and for many, the biggest motivator to loot their neighbor is the promise that you get a cut for yourself.
Americans are nothing if not opportunistic without regard to the effects on others.
Some of you maintain hope of some national integrity, but I know better, there is none to be found and all you need for proof is the night of 6Nov

I think your reading way to much into the black thing...

Libtards are obsessed with sexual orientation, color, and gender...

Maybe its your disconnect with English, since you appear to from the NL's



This is getting a little bit old.
I mean everyday you hear some bs article about Obama banning all weapons.

Why are people so afraid that Obama will take their guns? Is it really the black thing? "oh noes, a black person has power over me, he will surely ban guns so the blacks can finally take revenge on us for what we did to them for so many years".

I have seen the warfighter simulations for a civil uprising in the US, these have been run at the Command General Staff College at Kansas and it is and I quote "An impossible battle to win, much less a war" -General Tommy Franks
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28614102


WEll now, that's interesting.
Did they shut off power and utilities?
Did they shut down transportation grids and delivery of food and supplies?
Did they blast pockets of 'resistance with arty and air assets and run over them with tracks and armor?
Did the shut down netflix and youpron?
I'd think if the gloves were really off, scorched earth and unrestrained violence against civilians would do the trick to a population more suited for dancing with the stars instead of shooting at them.
Personally I think that when any pretext of civility towards so called rebels is removed by the mocha messiah, no quarter will be given until the wite debbil is all but exterminated
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1310640


You assume in this scenario that the members of the armed forces will be convinced to attack their fellow citizens. I don't share that assumption. In fact, I have just the opposite assumption.

TPTB need people to fly those planes and drive those tanks. They need minions to kill fellow citizens. I don't believe that they will have the needed forces that are willing to turn on their own fellow citizens.

I may be wrong, but I have faith that many if not most military members would join the fight against the government if it got to that point.



Additionally, just so you know, terms like "mocha messiah" and "wite debbil" might be paint you as racist if someone doesn't know you very well.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1055574


fear of hunger and holding families hostage can be effective motivators to loot and murder, throughout history.
You dont need that many to do the deed, you simply need enough manpower to cut off access to power and supplies. After a week or two all resistance will effectively be over.
Somehow someone helped kill off millions of their neighbors in russia, china, cambodia, vietnam, etc etc. Who were those people and what were they promised?

American hunters make up the largest army in the world period.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28614102


AND the one that has the least amount of ammo stocks available to it (with little ability to "resupply")

Sure a "few" gun owners do have a lot of ammo, but with a typical ammo expenditure rate of 300 rounds per day per fighter when in battle being the planning numbers for armies HOW MANY DAYS COULD MOST PEOPLE'S AMMO SUPPLY KEEP THEM GOING?

A 30 day supply is probably the MINIMUM that each person should have, but in reality how many people have 9000 rounds of ammo for their guns sitting in their closet?
(and 22LR rounds do NOT count)

The issue anymore isn't guns ... there are almost a couple of hundred million guns out there now ... the REAL issue is AMMO!!

What good does someone buying another AR-15 do if on average they (across all the new buyers) only have 3 boxes (60 rounds) of ammo for it?
