Nobody has killed more people than corrupt, tyrannical governments. We're talking in the hundreds of millions here and this does not include militray conflict. The 20th century is riddled with examples of this.

That same history is riddled with those citizens futility fighting back or not, regardless of gun control measures

Alot of gun grabbers say that citizens could never take on the military might of the United States if it goes rogue. America as a nation was born this way. A bunch of rednecks took on the British Imperial army and sent them packing. Guerrilla warfare is tough to defeat. The U.S. can't even beat a 3rd world nation like Afghanistan.

1) One soldier in the army today could almost beat the entire British army from the days of muzzle loaders. But great comparison
2) Are you suggesting that the Taliban could not be removed from power?

Just a few weeks ago, a mall shooter in Oregon was confronted by an armed citizen, the next bullet fired was the shooter ending his own life. There are numerous examples of citizens stopping shootings. Mass shootings ...almost without exception are carried out in gun-free zones like malls, schools, theaters etc.
Why don't they just hang up an "easy pickings" sign?

Mass Shootings happen exclusively where there are mass amounts of people. Weird that they'd be gun free too. Fact: gun homicides>>>>>>>>>>>>>>crimes prevented. You strangely disappeared the last time we covered this and were proven wrong.

Now would be the worst time for Americans to hand in their guns. Mass shootings aside, crime rates have been plummeting due to the gun culture, except in places like Chicago where there are strict handgun laws. Chicago is the most dangerous city in the world right now.
|
Crime rates dropping due to gun culture? Why are they dropping elsewhere with gun control? Chicago is the most dangerous city? Ridiculous

In addition to this, you have this massive police state looming over America. The Dept. of Homeland Security has purchased 1.6 billion rounds of ammo in the last year for themselves and other government agencies, mostly hollow points too. Remember, DHS is a domestic agency. Americans are being spied on, there are empty prison camps, COG plans, Patriot Act, NDAA, domestic drones etc.

Canada is buying planes too. Better get out my rifle.

Americans are starting to realize this. They have been buying guns at a staggering pace since Obama came in.
Citizens cannot own guns in Mexico. Isn't that going well? The people there are at the mercy of gangs and drug cartels, and government corruption is rampant. If you want to feel safe, just admit yourself to prison.

Citizens can legally obtain guns in Mexico. However, where are all the guns in Mexico coming from........? Probably some place that has almost as many guns as people.....
