I'm citing lots of historical examples, rather than stating unproven assertions, incomplete claims, anecdotes, and disproven urban legends -- while also claiming to be an authority.You mean like your right? Does that mean discussion over?
I'm sure some will try. I'm also sure that if the only opposition is civilians with AR15s, they are highly likely to fail.In the event of an attack you seem to think civilians would sit back? You seem to think they wouldn't help the military?
More to the point, in terms of justification for owning firearms: The idea that American will be invaded, given current circumstances, is utterly ludicrous. Equally ludicrous is the OP's idea that "hey, if China invades, won't you feel all dumb for not having a gun?"
The actual war part? A few weeks, iirc. The part that took 9 years was trying to put back the pieces of the nation that we shattered, and turn it over to a local elected civilian government.Speaking of Iraq how long did that go on for?
Now, I have no idea what people think will happen in this ludicrous "Invasion USA" scenario, but I kinda doubt that China would invade the US in order to throw out a dictator and whip a little democracy on the US.
And why did we leave? Were we driven out by militias? Were we driven out by civilians bearing AK-47s? No, we left because Bush 43 made an agreement with the Iraqi government, and Obama honored it.
Yeah, I'm not sure what you're trying to prove with that. I'm going off of pre-war figures for Yemen. They have a strong gun culture that long predates both their own civil war, and the US invasion of Iraq.https://www.globalresearch.ca/yemen...ng-hands-mistakenly-in-the-hands-of-al-qaeda/ kinda cut and ran and left a lot of goodies.
I'm not saying "the US will invade Iran." I'm pointing out that war hawks are not deterred by the prospect of a civilian population that would most likely detest US forces in Iran, and won't have much trouble getting guns.Don't think an invasion of Iran will happen. Iran is different than Iraq.
