82. Do you really think our government would drop nukes on it's own citizens?
Edited on Wed Apr-23-08 11:25 AM by jmg257
Because of a "popular uprising"??? If that is the case, doesn't it seem to you that trusting such a terrible group with control of all the guns isn't that bright? IF our govt was willing to drop nukes on a popular uprising, don't you think it would be nice for others to have SOME way to try to fight back and hopefully prevent further attacks? Or do you think maybe by surrendering control of all the guns to the govt., you hope to give in and avoid a reason for a nuclear attack on us, if there was an uprising?

Popular uprisings not handled by the states are to be dealt with by the National Guard, aren't they? Maybe with the "real" military thrown in (thanks to Bush and the Warner Act)? But dropping nukes? That is REALLY scary. Could ANY one defend against such evil - little guns or not? I admit - not likely. So let's hope it never happens. (I don't think it will)
