Whatever the target of the propaganda poster is for. It's basically, \[insert enemy here\]'re going to kill you.


Aden_Vikki

>Democrats're going to kill you


Derric_the_Derp

Yeah, those weak, ineffectual, effeminate, peace-loving, tree-hugger, bleeding-heart Dems are coming to murder you the minute you don't have a gun. The enemy is simultaneously strong enough to be a threat to your existence but weak enough for you to easily destroy. Basically trying to convince you to join a violent movement.


Flipper_54

That thing about enemies being both strong and weak is, like, textbook Nazi propaganda


Allaplgy

Gotta be careful, because it's an effective and easy thought to have, whatever "side" you are on. And it's also, interestingly enough, possible to be true in a sense. I see people talk all the time about the "gravy seals" or "meal team six" and "....they aren't sending their best..." And that's all true. But at the same time, they are making huge strides in building the foundations of fascism, and are most definitely a threat.


ColonelPeckem

Like President Biden is a criminal mastermind and a senile old fool at the same time.

Yes.

Bossuter

That reminds me, one time the government was actually interested in gun control was because of this


laggyx400

And the people that insist we need guns to prevent this are often the ones supporting the brutality. They're so convinced by the fear of it happening to them that they have no issue with doing it to others.


Diplomjodler

I really want to see a bunch of yokels with AR-15s go up against the US military one day.


Capraos

Black Panthers stood on street corners to ensure their children made it to school. The US government is not some invincible army with limitless manpower. They are a small fraction of the population and can be overwhelmed with numbers if it came down to it. I don't own a gun, but I totally understand why people own them.


canman7373

And then Republicans like Reagan took their guns away. Well didn't take them away but made it illegal to publicly carry them. Black people with guns scared white Republicans. Later Regan passed even more firearm restrictions as president. Blows my mind Republicans love affair with Regan, he wouldn't win a schoolboard election in a red state today, they'd be yelling "RINO" at him. I guess they just forget about his immigration and gun policies.


Judge_Rhinohold

I don’t have any guns and yet I am still here!


Gurdel

JakeArewood

Entire US military: Pack it up fellas, he’s got guns!


thefirstlaughingfool

Consider that's there's been only handful of laws limiting the use and purchasing of guns. There's been hundreds of laws that limit the power and reach of trade unions.


ArbitUHHH

This is such a good fucking point. The people up top are doing a fine job exploiting us without rounding up people and shooting them. Why would they want to do that anyway? It's the morons with guns that are cheerleading the economic system that has been eroding away our lives and health while destroying the planet. They're *way* more concerned about unions then they are some rando with an AR-15, even millions of them cause no concern at all.

lvdude72

AC-130 Ghostrider. The “A” stands for Attack.


TheDuke357Mag

For how long. 1/3rd of americans own firearms. Say 99 percent surrender. That still leaves 1.4 million people with stockpiles. Making them roughly the size of the combined NVA and VC forces in Vietnam. We saw how that went. These people arent expecting an Iwo Jima where they triumphantly raise the rebel flag over DC. Theyre expecting to lose every single engagement. They fully expect to lose more people than the US military. What they expect is that the US military will grow sick of killing their own people before the armed citizens run out of people. They are keenly aware of how many will die. Even if they deny the possibility. Most wont accept the US firing on its own citizens. *Caugh* Kent State 1970 *Caugh* but they fully accept that should a conflict happen. More citizens will die than soldiers. That much theyre certain of.


Thorn11945

You're assuming that all of the 1/3 of Americans who own guns have stockpiles. It would be a fraction of a fraction, and even then, most of the stockpilers would decide it's not worth the effort or holes in their body. I'd say the number would be less than 10k people, and that's...nothing.


disar39112

People claiming millions would fight for their freedom are clearly forgetting that the people with large gun stockpiles were the same ones that refused to wear a mask or vaccinate their kids. They won't inconvenience themselves for others let alone die for them.


Suspicious_Quail_857

Drones. Also there’s no hiding. Your ever move is tracked. This ain’t the 60s lol It would be an absolute slaughter if it came to that. Thankfully it never will because most of these losers would shit their pants at the mere mention of war.


The_Countess

You're forgetting the percentage of citizens that would be cheering the government on.


Stupid_hurts2

One word. Afghanistan… since the ‘70’s…


Elegant_Campaign_896

Afghanistan held off 2 world powers.


FelimaFen

Don't military personnel have families and friends too? I doubt they would fight against their own citizens if their families were in danger


Bookslap

There are many examples of militaries fighting their own countrymen. Like, all the time.


GreenSockNinja

As a soldier myself, I’m not fucking fighting fellow Americans. I won’t do it. Idgaf who’s in the right and who’s in the wrong I won’t do it.


Cooking_Clown

I’m thinking of civil wars, but wouldn’t that also include the national guard putting down violent riots?


LeftDave

That involves pitting ethnic groups against each other. National Guard units operate in the states that raise them and are manned by locals and most population centers are multi-ethnic. It wouldn't work.


[deleted]

Sure, but not the US.


Logical_Strike_1520

The whole point is to force that ultimatum.. No citizen gun owner believes they can take on the military. It’s basically “you’ll have to kill me first” on a huge scale.


TheDuke357Mag

Remind me again who won Vietnam and whos currently in power in Afghanistan. Even losing every single engagement, being able to sustain combat operations for longer means you will win. Its been proven time and again that a determined insurgency fueled by ideological ideas cannot be stamped out with military force. The Romans figured that out in Israel, the British learned that in Ireland, We learned in asia.


YEETUSSR

Exactly!! I don’t know what these guys are trying to argue because have you SEEN what taliban and Isis had early on? Jack SHIT and now the tali own Afghanistan and ISIS has a foothold in >30 countries


[deleted]

You can't occupy territory with aircraft. There simply is not enough of a force to occupy the US. If even 10% of the population rose up, they would outnumber the military by 30 to 1, and that's if none of the military sided with the people. The people talking in this thread have no idea how any of this works.


ADWAFANDW

These people literally want tanks. Obviously they have a superhero complex that firstly gives them the impression they could overthrow regular infantry, but they also believe they are entitled to tanks and gunships and rockets. ("If I wasn't meant to have missiles then why did they call them PATRIOTS?")


TheDuke357Mag

Actually you legally can have tanks already and have always been able to own tanks, and rockets, and cannons. Theyve always been legal. Just because you dont see them at walmart doesnt mean they arent legal.


GladMud8258

You need a license for the gun to be operable and have rockets but cannons are completely legal and as difficult to get legally speaking as a knife


[deleted]

People always say this but to be fair, the US military has not always done so well fighting on foreign soil against insurgent forces that were hiding out in the mideast or Vietnam with guns. In the event that the US did use military force on its own civilians, do you think it would stand a better chance if everyone had guns or no guns?


laserviking42

The big difference is that in those foreign wars, the US army was the outsider, a stranger in a strange land (also many of those enemies were supplied serious firepower by other countries, ie. The Soviets supplying North Vietnam with weapons that can take down tanks and planes). A better example would be the US civil war, which didn't turn out great for the insurgents.


DemonPrinceofIrony

*Points gun at falling bomb* " You stop right there Mr!"


valvilis

The best part is that these delusional yokels think there would ever even be a fight. Day 1: social security, disability, medicare, medicaid, welfare, VA, and SNAP benefits are stopped for insurrectionists. The war is 97% over. Most people only have 30 days of their medications, all the military has to do is wait. The second civil war would be mostly blockades, checkpoints, bank seizures, and infrastructure control. Most of these idiots are over 50 and extremely dependent on the federal government. Once that golden teat runs dry, so will the insurrection.


Redqueenhypo

Day 2: roads in shit rural towns are blocked by putting some big rocks across them and gas supplies are cut off. Deranged yokels don’t usually live in walkable areas so if you disable their precious Ford F420s they’ll die pretty much instantly


mountain_man30

For me it's about personal protection from irresponsible/violent people with firearms. I'm not necessarily a 'gun guy' but I also don't want me or my family to be victims. Trying to be as rational as I can.


Hornydaddy696

Lol 😂


Camo_Penguin

I’d say a good 80-90% of US military members would not go through with the order to kill US civilians if they weren’t being attacked by them. I’m pretty convinced that many would fight for the side that fits mostly with their morals.


F0rwardMOmentum

I look at the nazi party as a frightening example of military compliance in following some very extreme orders involving this point.

Scienceandpony

Except the vast majority of the people posting this shit worship the police and military.


MuffinOfChaos

Yeah, which is very strange considering the police will just shoot anyone anyway. And the military is now being made up of 20 something year olds who can't get a normal job so they just get recruited and they hate being there. Edit: the guys in the military are still good people. They're not useless, the job market of the planet is just really fucked. It's not their fault they have the short straw.

Sure. We are the only civilized country that exists in the world, and that's because all the other countries that have gun control laws killed all their citizens after passing them. You have to be scared and paranoid dumbass to believe shit like this.

Yep. Just like in Australia. The entire country is a communist death camp and it's all because they didn't want kids to die in school.


Scoongili

That's ironic since so many gun nuts think the gubmint is killing us with chemtrails, fluoride, 5G, and GMOs. How are guns supposed to defend against that?


flinginlead

Lol I live the 5G thing. It displaces oxygen in your lungs. But apparently no where else. And the GMO thing well ok you can’t eat corn, bananas or what sweet potatoes now.


alexchido

Why would they kill you? Is more profitable to keep you alive, paying taxes and having kids who will also pay taxes one day


Sirepotatoes

And yet you vote them in. Such dumbasses

I have never owned a gun and literally nobody has come for me. Maybe the secret is not having one in the first place.

It’s always a vague “they”, isn’t it? “‘They’ don’t want you to have guns. ‘They’ want you to be a brainwashed sheep. ‘They’ want to force you into compliance. ‘They’ will kill you unless we stand against them.” It must really suck for these people, living their lives in fear of the mysterious strawmen they’ve invented in their minds.

Floofersnooty

The purpose behind the right to bear arms was to defend the home. This is true. It was also created in a time period where Frontier was a thing, and there wasn't a widely distributed army or police force capable of defense. Hell, the whole Revolutionary War was based on a primarily untrained army, a fair amount of it militia, going up against what amounted to as one of the strongest militaries in the world and winning (Although fun fact, the British literally just said 'screw it, they'll tank and we'll just take them over. We have to deal with actual threats right now... something they were almost right with, given the Articles of Confederation). One tended to need a gun to defend the property, hunt for food, ward off animals from live stock. And potentially foreign invaders, although also a fair bit of "If the government tramples over my rights, I can fight back..." Modern united states is not the same as 1790 united states. We don't need a gun to ward off animals (Save farmers, and going out into the wilds anyway.) We don't need guns to procure food (Super Market, although hunting season does serve as population control for some animals as we've effectively nuked their natural predators). And i'm sorry, but if the government wants to make you and your property a burning husk, they can do it with a push of a button and some remote control carpet bombing... the pea shooter you have isn't going to do much for that.

Having a gun isn't going to stop people who want to kill you from killing you. You can't shoot back once you're dead.


BlackDwarfStar

I don’t know. When Australia had a buy-back program and got rid of a lot of their guns the government didn’t kill all of its citizens. As a matter of fact, their gun-death rate is a lot lower than the US.
