I didn’t read past the first few paragraphs, then scrolled/skimmed down only to see that you’ve posted yet another 100,000 word blah blah essay that I’m not going to read. This “talk you to death” shyt just isn’t going to work. I could break your shyt down point by point as I usually do but I really do t have the time.
You'll have to forgive me if I don't buy this claim one bit, especially seeing as you seem to spend a lot of time on here. Sounds more like a desperate intellectual cop out to me.
But, sure.
We can make this simple or you can just stop quoting me. This began with you claiming that your NRA right wing position on guns is really a tenet of liberalism. You’ve then went on and on and on and on and on in an attempt to reconcile that obvious contradiction.
Well, I would think that advocating for LIBERAL gun laws would being a tenant of liberalism would be quite self-evident. But, if not in your case, then there it is.
Government authoritarianism in the form of infringing on citizen rights to bear arms sure isn't. That's the anti-thesis of individual LIBERTY.
And you quoted me first, and continue to do so. You can bail out of the discussion at point you please. You don't need to use my comment length as an excuse for a cop out or request that I bail you out by not responding to you.
I’m saying be consistent. If you think that it’s so necessary for people to have unlimited freedom to own any kind of firearm that they want for their protection/defense then why stop at firearms? Why shouldn’t you also fight for the right to own any kind of weapon that you want? You talk about hezbollah, Afghans, Bangladeshis, and all that, well that had access to more than firearms. They had the rockets, tanks, grenades, etc. They had all the military shyt to fight off the respective militaries trying to occupy them. You’re not even serious with it. You’re going to need a lot more than just firearms to hold off an America military or even a local police force. Even the police got robots to come blow your ass up.
Crew manned or area-weapons have little to no use for personal self defense, thus are not in the same class as firearms as it pertains to citizens rights to the defense of LL&P, so civilians owning them can't be argued for as an inalienable right enshrined in the constitution as the right to bear firearms can. Though, personally in an ideal system where there wasn't racial discrimination, I wouldn't have anything against a those weapons being placed in a "just-cause" category of ownership as apposed to being an inalienable right as are firearms.
Neither Hezbollah nor the mujahadeen in Afghanistan had any tanks, aircraft, or naval capabilities, let a lone nukes and drones, as their enemies did. Just explosives & rocket/missile launchers for neutralizing armored vehicles, like tanks & aircraft and more than anything, good old fashion firearms for everything else, including also neutralizing aircraft. Same as the Chechens in the vast majority of their engagements with the Russian military. In fact tanks would be a liability for a highly mobile guerrilla force where flexibility and the ability to out maneuver the enemy is tantamount.
Local police units aren't equipment with explosive land drones, like that used against Micah Johnson. That was deployed by the SWAT team once they arrived after multiple hours of negotiations. But, before that Micah Johnson utterly DECIMATED the dpd force on the scene by himself. Assata Shakur and the BLA held off MULTIPLE police in shootouts, killing many of them.
Firearms on their own are MORE than sufficient for a guerrilla force to resist against lower level government agents like law enforcement. Especially seeing as guerilla engagements are typically of an amush 'hit-&-run' nature, where the goal is to simply inflict damage or harassment on the enemy and escape to fight another day. Not standing your ground to defend territory. This maneuverability allows ones to blend in with the general populous, including amongst members of the enemy force within the enemies territory itself. And in the event where the government escalates their force to a full scale military use, then yes, weapons such as missile launchers and and explosives probably should be procured, but only as vehicle neutralizing weapons, and luckily you don't need that many of them to get the job done. Thus, going through black market to get missiles wouldn't be that much of a challenge and explosives can be easily built in-house. Firearms would still be the bred and butter of the physical engagement part of the resistance. And that's not to mention the aspects that don't involve direct physical engagement such as politics, intelligence, espionage, deception, sabotage, and foreign support(see Cuba granting multiple BPP and BLA members asylum) which are just as, if not more, important.
