Your Point Is Invalid
The gun control fanatics, main stream media and liberal politicians have gone apocalyptic with coverage and pontification on the evils of the weapon used in the Florida shooting. They disregard the shooters history and the obvious blunders by officials that could have stopped him.
They are also claiming that the need for military style weapons is not a necessary and shouldn’t be a protected right under the 2nd amendment, and their not stopping there, some are calling for a ban on ALL long rifles with a rapid fire mechanism or semi-automatic function. They’re missing the point.
It’s not about hunting, it’s not even about fighting government tyranny, although the thought of standing up to a corrupt government sounds like the patriotic thing to do, in reality if the government/military/law enforcement decide your’e a threat an automatic rifle ain’t gonna help ya.
The best argument for owning an AR-15 type rifle and the most plausible scenario is the government fucking things up so badly that they wreck the economy and the country is plunged into chaos. If the economy is destroyed then basic services that we take for granted become obsolete. What happens if you can’t get fuel? What happens if the lights go out, no water, no food, no phone, no internet….chaos. The haves will be attacked by the have not’s. That’s when you need your weapons.
If the financial markets collapse there will be a run on money, banks will close, EBT cards stop working, social security checks stop coming, employees stop working, businesses close up and board up….chaos.
With the country 20 trillion in debt and politicians holding each other hostage with government shutdowns and unfettered spending the possibility of a sudden crisis is not only plausible it’s probably inevitable, it’s just a matter of when not if. It’s no way to run a government but I don’t see any indication these politicians will ever change, it will take a crisis and by then it will be too late…..chaos.
To all the gun control politicians and their lap dog media your argument is invalid, we will need our guns, lot’s of ’em, and you may need some too.

You are deas solid on the mark!!!
There are studies that show that irregular forces fighting an asymmetric war can beat a modern force more often than not, if they play to their strengths and their enemy’s weaknesses. Be that as it may, the real value of an armed citizenry lies in raising the cost of tyranny beyond what the tyrant is willing to pay. We still set great store by the appearance of virtue in leaders, and requiring them to be visibly and obviously brutes in order to make the people obey might give them pause. Throwing away the appearance of legitimacy is a step you can’t take back. We might lose, but damn if that guy isn’t going to be hurt beating us.
It probably wouldn’t stop a Stalin, but it might give a Chavez or Erdogan reason to think twice.
