I hope all the people fantasizing about the revolution that they’ll need their guns for understand that even if the government didn’t have vastly superior technology than you, even if they had the exact same guns and even the exact same number of people as you, they’d still wipe you out. You don’t have training, you don’t do drills, you have no command structure, you have no coordinated supply lines, no discipline, no unit cohesion, no inter-unit tactics, no intelligence service, nothing that would in any way make you an army. There’s slightly more to warfare than a bunch of people shooting at people they don’t like. Your assault rifle is worthless.

I had this exact conversation with a gun-loving conspiracy theory peer of mine. What are you really going to do with all those guns if the guvment comes for you? Fight until I can escape. Escape where? To the woods. Then what? hunt, hide, go off the grid. Ok, you hunt much? Oh no, that’s not really my thing.

Ok, so your plan is to get into a gunfight with the government, run into the woods, suddenly be a master hunter, either eat raw game you don’t know how to clean, or build fires the government won’t see, and live that way from now on? With the government looking for you?

That’s when he got mad at me.

It is definitely NOT a logic thing.

Please tell him what Agent Orange was for and get back to me with his reaction.
