And gang, if I ever use the phrase "Simply just" as a modifier "They would simply just smash it." You have permission to flog me with a wet noodle.
529 words added to Manhunt. Mudd needs his computer.

Correct me if I'm wrong
Feb. 14th, 2012 04:22 pmAren't the same people who yell "Support Our Troops" the loudest the ones who are also stockpiling guns against having to fight off the government? Who do they think the government is going to send after them, but the very troops they were "supporting" by having a yellow ribbon on their car.
Do they really think it is the Eighteenth or Nineteenth century when hand weapons will do a lick of good against an army? That Magnum is going to be really impressive, if they can't hold it because the Active Denial System has put them in such a world of pain they're running for it. Or when our ever-more-militarized police use any of these six items on the household gun-owner.
That's assuming the government even decides to face the householders. With drones and spy satellites, why not just obliterate the whole house, guns and all?
This is not Cornwallis standing in nice, neat redcoated lines and shooting while you hide behind rocks and trees and shoot back. This is modern warfare, and your opponent doesn't even have to be in the same city.
Sorry, just got off a discussion on facebook, that I don't want to take guns away, I just want gunowners to face facts: a gun in the house is 3 times more likely to kill a household member than an intruder, and is Great-grandma's tchotchke really worth killing or being killed over? The general question is "Can't you just shoot any rapist/mugger/murderer?" For women that answer tends to be "not unless we're willing to kill members of our families."
