Today is remembered as the birthday of the late Eugene M. Stoner. (Born 1922, died April 24, 1997.) He was the designer of the AR-7, AR-10, AR-15, AR-180, the Stoner 63, and several other firearms. (The AR-10 was the basis of the AR-15 which in turn spawned the very widely used M16 and all of its variants including the M4 Carbine.) It has been estimated that as many as 18 million rifles from the AR-15 family are owned by civilians in the United States, and military production M16 variants worldwide exceeds eight million rifles.

If those numbers are correct we would out gun the military over 2:1


No wonder Biden wants to disarm us

But Biden said he had a 'Mandate' to spend $30 Trillion on the new green deal, Mandatory Gun Buyback, Classifying all ARs and AKs as NFA and require registration and stamp, Removing all gun transactions between family members and impose Martial Law to 'Combat' the virus.

And these same people claim there is no fraud, but Biden seems to have added over 6 Million votes.

Again I repeat, Seriously? While I'll give you that he's a piece of shit liberal gun grabber, to take the "nukes" comment as anything other than hyperbole is akin to the left feigning moral outrage over anything uttered by the President.

The point is that government always has an “n+1” response to a citizens “n” action.

Citizens will ALWAYS outnumber government which is why they try to maintain an illusion of dominance. It's a lot like the guy making the elephant do tricks at the circus, he's only in charge because he has intimidated the elephant in to believing he is in charge. As soon as the elephant reaches the point that either his fear or his anger exceed the level of his intimidation, the dynamic changes.

Like you jumping when SHTW says jump? You're twice her size and twice as strong, yet you jump, jump, jump. :)
