Re: !!BAD!! the assault weapon ban may come back!!
The Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam are examples of lightly armed militia's able to prevent a victory by a modern military force. Keep this up long enough and an unpopular government would begin to lose the support of the uninvolved citizenry, and the standing army.Originally Posted by Martinus
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-- John Stewart Mills
But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.

Putting Iraq in there is a bit premeptive.The Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam are examples of lightly armed militia's able to prevent a victory by a modern military force.
Afghanistan had a country invading it not a bad government, that came after and did not get over thrown until the USA+Allies went in.
North Vietnam beat South Vietnam+USA. NV had aircraft and artillery and stuff.
