Bruh I'm a gun owner for sport, don't lump me in with the stupid crowd. I don't care if I couldn't own guns anymore, I'd just find a different hobby. I'm sure as shit not coming to the rescue of Texas

I own guns. I like guns. I find them very fun. I'll wave goodbye to Texas in a heartbeat.

I can't stand the people who make guns their identity. They remind me of the potheads who have rasta flags, pit leaves on everything, and listen to Bob Marley nonstop.

Such a facetious argument to act like guns wouldn't in some way limit the military.

Because even if you bomb territory that doesn't mean you can occupy it, see Afghanistan and Vietnam. Infantry is needed for occupation when the enemy is mixed in with civilians.

And furthermore, don't you think in the event of a civil war a fair bit of the military would be a bit unwilling to bomb urban areas?

I agree with you on everything except the government being unwilling to bomb urban areas the police have done it before, why would the military be any different?

Would like to see what that rifle would do against a tank or an IFV.
