[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is the NRA even still in Nova?  Wouldn't they find Texas a far more hospitable place for a HQ?[/quote]

There are many of us in DC and NOVA still that are pro gun. I’m a member of a black rifle owners club in DC. As black folk, we take 2a very seriously given our history with the government. We as black folk have every right to not trust the US government ever again (if you are white, read history before you call me a quack) and every right to be armed against it. [/quote]

I don't understand this line of argument at all, regardless of skin color. This isn't the 18th century where a bunch of red coats without supply lines have to fight against an entrenched population.

Do you not realize that if the mighty U.S. government wanted to take you out, or take a few thousand people out at once, it has the means to do so in a few short hours without any collateral damage to its troops (with most of that time spent simply finding you assuming you were on the run and hiding and a minute to actually kill you?) What's your AR-15 gonna accomplish? It wouldn't even qualify as bringing a knife to a gun fight.

You people just watch way too many stupid action movies.[/quote]

I certainly hope that I don't ever see real conflict between the federal government and the citizenry in my lifetime, but asymmetrical warfare is a very real and effective strategy.  But more importantly, it isn't just about some far-fetched notion of conflict with the feds.  Many people are concerned (and rightfully so) about whether their government, both federal and local, will actually be there to protect them when the proverbial s&*% hits the fan.  A lot of people who never saw themselves as "gun people" purchased firearms in droves when they watched cities and neighborhoods looted and destroyed amidst all the protests within the last few years.[/quote]

There are roughly 32 million gun owners in the US. The military is about 1.5 million members. Since we aren't going to use drones to track down 32 million people, it would be a door-to-door search and a war of attrition. Who is going to win that war? If you need a modern example, see Afghanistan.[/quote]
