Ironically this was a post on an email I got this morning.. whether factual or not, it does bring up some good points..

Is it true that Rep. Eric Swalwell said the government has weapons that could be used against Second Amendment supporters who refuse to give up their firearms?

Rep Eric Swalwell, a democrat congressman from California, said something fairly similar.

He basically responded to someone pointing out the purpose of the Second Amendment was armed revolution by saying that the United States government has ‘legit nukes.’

Which is so militarily ignorant that it beggars belief.

First off, there’s not a lot of support for using the nuke again ever. America remains the only place to have ever dropped one, which, though successful in the end it was meant to reach, is still not the best thing in the world to be famous for.

Secondly, all that high tech military hardware doesn’t do much good in the cities.

Sure, you can kill Branch Davidians and strange people at Ruby Ridge indiscriminately. Hell, you could airstrike them.

But what happens when that person you’re fighting is in a city, surrounded by noncombatants? Gonna airstrike a city block? Gonna send in tanks?

Anyone with half a brain would tell you that this creates more rebellion than it quashes.

Of course, Eric Swalwell has never done anything with the military. In fact, the man has barely held a job that had qualifications other than ‘win an election.’ It’s likely that Swalwell thought he was being pithy and bright, instead of a massive moron who kind of tipped the point that he’s willing to use violence to take guns from law abiding citizens.

A barely-literate force of half-starved tiny asian men frustrated the most powerful military on Earth in the jungles of Vietnam.

A barely-literate force of half-starved men in robes have frustrated the most powerful militaries on Earth in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Anyone who thinks that an insurgent force can not carry on a fight, like the ‘economics professor’ below, has obviously not had much life experience.
