And by the way. Everything goes out the window when they start shooting back. What seems like a great idea when I'm polishing my Weatherby and chatting with my neighbor as he loads his cherished M1 carbine can be a lousy idea.
I'm imagining all my neighbors and me with hunting rifles, shotguns and pistols blasting away at a tank coming down the street. A couple of coaxial .50s are raking the houses, the cannon waving back and forth.
We're shooting and reloading and shooting, the cannon puts a couple of rounds into my next door neighbors, and all at once it gets very quiet.
We aren't going to do much, especially as the squad coming along behind is mopping up. With grenades. And if the tank starts backing up, if we have convinced them we're serious, watch out. The mortars and artillery are coming in. If they haven't called in air.
This idea that an armed citizenry is going to take on the government is for the naive. When folks with bigger guns start shooting back a very harsh reality rears it's ugly head.
