Hollywood Should Film An "Armed Revolt" Movie Where Disgruntled Gun Advocates Take On U.S.......

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

19. Never underestimate anybody in their resolve to fight a protracted conflict.

If anything is true history has taught us that once an insurrection, conflict or full fledged revolution gets going it is very hard to stop. Sometimes it is impossible.

What you are suggesting is that disgruntled gun advocates (DGAs) are stupid. I'm not one of them. I don't own a firearm of any kind, but things don't usually go as they go in the movies.

One person with a few weapons did horrific carnage to a New England town and ended the dreams of a lot of families. Now multiply that by the number of DGAs that might want to lay down their life and take out a lot of innocent bystanders.

Let's cap the figure at 100 DGAs. Get the picture?

A mall here or school there. A church over there. A Post Office. A city center someplace. The body count would add up quickly. Consider what that would do to the economy alone if it lasted for a while.

Now as I have said I am not a DGA, but I wouldn't expect these guys to try a full frontal assault as in Bull Run/First Manassas. That would be stupid. This is the age of guerrilla warfare. Think of what two guys playing sniper did in three weeks during 2002.

Now consider that some/many of these DGAs are ex military or have some training playing soldier on the weekend. That would be a problem. Some just like to shoot their guns. I would not want to find out what the actual number of those who have some kind of resolve to do real damage and go down fighting.

If it got seriously bad Martial law would be declared and the economy would hit the shitter like it never has before.

Some recent examples of conflicts that didn't go like Hollywood right away.

Chenchnya
Iraq
Afghanistan


So I would forgo the Hollywood bravado. Nothing happens like it does in the movies.

Let's just work on serious gun legislation to make sure we never have to witness another Sandy Hook.
