Is there really anyone who believes if the US military decided to turn its guns and might against its citizens, that your AR 15 is going to save the day. The fact of the matter is you would never even see a soldier most times because if you are not shelled to death, droned to death, missile to death, sniped to death you name it. Yeah back in the 1800 when the common man could obtain the same weapon as the military you had a chance but today, that is some real good smoke people are hitting. The argument is silly on all fronts. Having the gun may make you feel safe but in reality, it probably would only get you and everyone killed.

Way to many people must be watching Red Dawn as reference material for these arguments.

Two points, first the bolded section...  yes, some people think that.  The one guy I know who thinks this way, apologies for being rude in advance, is under 6 ft tall and weights 280 lbs...  and is 50 years old...  but yes, he thinks that...  despite walking up a single flight of stairs has him gasping for air.

Second point, yes I blame hollywood..  The dude watches too many Stallone movies.
