I don't even know where to start with those historical inaccuracies/omissions/fallacies.

So I won't. Unless someone really wants to know.

My favorite was "Don't allow the government waste millions of dollars to take our guns, have the government give everyone a gun and formal military training instead!".

That one is also weird, but may be an anachronism from the days when we didn't own the southwest.

Oh, and Tuhl, you should call me on it, I meant Armenia. I have Albanians on the brain, because...reasons.

Still trying to figure out why you kept going with an Albanian chick when you found out she had a hairy bum?

Both, according to the Syrians and Egyptians.

Syria's insurrection is not a homegrown rebellion, it is the product of the CIA pouring money and heavy weapons into the country. The AK-47 under your bed is not comparable to the kind of weapons it takes to fight a regular military head-on. Where do you think these people get rocket launchers?

The Syrian government stood for over half a century and the violence began only when the US became obsessed with "regime change" and the Iraq War spilled over into the other Baathist regime. The civil war is causing terrible suffering, and whether it will ultimately produce a regime better than what it is fighting against is questionable.

Also see: bombing of Cambodia

Egypt's revolution was mostly peaceful - and took the form of a military coup.

Jubber, you keep taking the few facts that conditionally support your argument and isolate them from the wider context, then you totally disregard the mountains of facts that debunk it utterly. Disarmament didn't prevent the fall of Communism or the British Raj or apartheid or the military dictatorships in Taiwan and Korea.

Civil proliferation did make life in Haiti, Ireland, Columbia and now Syria utterly unlivable for generations on end, and that only began to change for the Irish when they took steps to get rid of all the weapons floating around.

General strikes aren't as cool as grabbing your gun and shooting dem bad gais, but it is much, much more effective at undermining an unjust government. Governments fall when they lose the faith and cooperation of their people, not due to random acts of violence.

Though I agree, you're grossly oversimplifying it. "Lawful" should in this case be equivalent to "moral," i.e. evolutionarily sound and near-universally decent. To wax Jeffersonian: "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." And to most gun nuts, it's particularly fulfilling to have access to means that would allow them to do just that. To "protectors of freedom" à la McVeigh (or my personal favorite, the fascinatingly treasonous Oathkeepers) lawbreaking may not be immoral given enough ideological conditioning—it would be, after all, in violation only of that deemed unjust.

Studies now indicate McVeigh blowing up federal buildings with fertilizer bombs is at least 300% sexier than Gandhi's Salt March.

I mean let's be honest. This whole fight my guvmint thing isn't about political change, it's about feeling cool and manly because you pack heat. If the argument were really about what works against evil governments, these people would be big into civil disobedience and spend all their time reading books about it. They're not and resent it on principle because it requires patience, discipline, genuine conviction, and, of course just isn't as cool, because it doesn't involve guns.

The post to which I was responding was basically "DERP DERP," and I gave it the sort of response "DERP DERP" deserves. I'm sorry you're offended that I don't waste time responding to guttural gibbering with a nuanced and reasoned argument. I just find it's easier to respond to flippant, silly comments with flippant, silly comments.

Your Pal,
Jubber

And yet when you got one you had nothing to offer.

You don't have to participate in a discussion above your level any more than you have to bring it down to your own, and if you don't like the selection of threads you are free to start your own.
