And all your consumer grade guns will work so well against robots, drones and apc's.
Fighting anyone who you already provided with state of the art weaponry with your pea shooters is a fantasy intended to lull you into a hollywood created rambo fantasy that in truth never existed.
You dont seem to understand that someone with an AT4, which you paid for, and paid to train the one aiming at you from behind cover one or two hundred meters away from your position can punch through 6 inches of reinforced concrete to have the warhead explode in the middle of your fort.
So, if you have 12 inches of reinforced concrete between you and the ptb, youre safe until the hellfires show up, which you paid for, and the drone they rode in on, and the operator that pushes the button and the officer who tells him to, and the politician who gives the order

Re: Smith & Wesson Announces 48% Surge In Gun Sales
(snip)

With gun control becoming part of the national debate over the last week in the aftermath of NBC Sports anchor Bob Costas’ comments, Smith & Wesson have announced a 48% surge in firearms sales and a quarterly profit of $21.2 million dollars.

“Net sales from continuing operations for the second quarter were a record $136.6 million, up 48.0% from the second quarter last year,” states a press release by Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation.

In addition, gun stores across the country reported a deluge of customers, with some owners estimating a 400% increase in sales compared to normal trading. “It was the largest day that we’ve ever had,” one gun store owner told WKYT.

The majority of customers, many of whom are first time gun owners and women, say that they are purchasing firearms for two primary reasons – fear of social unrest in the aftermath of an economic collapse and concerns that President Obama will use some of his political capital to enact strict gun control legislation.

The Obama administration’s support for the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), on which final discussions are to take place in March, has also stoked fears that global treaties could be used to curtail the second amendment.

“I have maintained for quite some time that the only true “consumer confidence” statistic one should look at is that of gun sales. The bottom line is people do not hoard guns when they are confident about the future of the country, and gun sales have never been better,” writes Mike Krieger.

dunno about any tank 80mm, that's antique compared to now but I suspect whether they leave a crater or leave a bullet riddled hunka meat may depend on what they hope to find when you and yours snuffit.

Dont forget that all property that gets 'abandoned' because the former owners get turned into a red mist or ventilated or otherwise no longer make claims for it reverts to uncles ownership by default.
Property, etc all goes to uncle, and he dispenses with it as he sees fit.

Bloomberg: NRA Dying, Americans Want More Gun Control

"recent presidential elections "proved" the NRA is dying and the American people want more gun control."

[link to www.breitbart.com]

Bloomberg and his cohorts joined hands with the Center for American Progress Action Fund to carry out their conference call Friday. Their message: "Voters trust Barack Obama on guns and support gun-law reforms."
 Quoting: TechRaider


Bloomturd conveniently forgets that only 25% of eligible voters cast a ballot for their Messiah Obama. 60 million votes out of 240 million proves nothing.

Gun control legislation proposed by Obama needs to be ignored by anyone who didn't vote for him.

Re: Smith & Wesson Announces 48% Surge In Gun Sales
I bought my first gun ever last year, a S&W 686 revolver with a 4" barrel. I bought it for the two reasons cited in the article but the main reason I bought it was because of the signing of the NDAA, which allows for American citizens to be indefinitely detained without judge, jury or trial. Let's also not forget that government has been purchasing large quantities of ammo lately. If "they" are preparing then we need to prepare as well. Will be buying more guns when I get the funds. I never planned on owning a gun but then again I also never planned on living in a country like Soviet Russia or Germany during the 1930s and 40s.

Zoomie:

The term “de-cocker” is kinda emasculating, and I don’t want to be de-cocked, but once I looked into it I decided getting de-cocked wouldn’t be so bad because walking around with the hammer down on a loaded throat could get me de-cocked for real and I probably wouldn’t like that much.

I saw one CZ75 in nickel, but everybody knows nickel-plated guns are for pimps, poseurs, and non-tactical pogues…so I said “fuck no.”

Then I said “fuck it” and looked around online.

Then I remembered I had a female intardnet buddy who worked at a gun store called Tomlinsons Shooting Supplies in northern Indiana.

Yes.

I said female, but don’t go thinking I’m having some kinda sordid online affair with her or sexually harassing her or anything so that I can get free guns or reduced pricing on boom sticks.

She is happily married, and so am I…and she has red hair and is frightening and gets easily riled and would think nothing of shooting me in the face with one of her many 1911s. It was a purely professional business transaction between her and I, and no funny stuff took place unless you count the fact that she blew her nose on my new gun before she shipped it to me.

Some of you might be saying, “Zoomie! You are rambling! Shut the fuck up and tell us what you bought! Asshole!”

OK.

Czech it out.

It is a new commie CZ75BD, all-steel, 9mm, 16 +1, made in Czechoslovakia...and then shuffled off to Kansas City, Kansas.

The de-cocker mechanism was a little stiff, but worked itself out nicely after a few manipulations.

I love manipulating my de-cocker now.

Do any come with non-lethal rounds? I can pay a fine, doing time takes all the fun out of self defense.

And all your consumer grade guns will work so well against robots, drones and apc's.
Fighting anyone who you already provided with state of the art weaponry with your pea shooters is a fantasy intended to lull you into a hollywood created rambo fantasy that in truth never existed.
You dont seem to understand that someone with an AT4, which you paid for, and paid to train the one aiming at you from behind cover one or two hundred meters away from your position can punch through 6 inches of reinforced concrete to have the warhead explode in the middle of your fort.
So, if you have 12 inches of reinforced concrete between you and the ptb, youre safe until the hellfires show up, which you paid for, and the drone they rode in on, and the operator that pushes the button and the officer who tells him to, and the politician who gives the order
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1310640


The fantasy is that you expect the resistance to fight U.S. ground forces toe to toe. Do you realize how stupid that is?

Try to think and research 4th and 5th gen warfare. On the other hand don't try to think. The kind of ignorance you display probably should be encouraged.

A large portion of the US military would not side with the government.

I can promise that.

a large proportion doesnt have to, just the proportion that is told that they are fighting terrorists and believe whats told them.

Great videos on the forum. I watched all the CZ's even though I had seen already. I would like to get the CZ75 SP-01 or 06 one of these days.

The depth of ignorance indicated by this response probably can't be fixed.
