    So . . . what's an assault weapon?

    You'd have to ask a liberal as they made the term up. They used to (probably still do) think that the AR in the AR-15 stood for assault rifle which surely is incorrect. The Feistein definition (also made up) would make the likes of a Glock 19 an assault weapon. Matter of fact, like global warming transformed to climate change, they changed the term assault rifle to assault weapon which per the Feinstein definition, encompasses a vastly larger cash of weaponry.

    You have a vivid inaginition. No evidence was presented. You are just deflecting from the salient points that I've offered and are upset that I've used your own words against you to make those points.

    Further attempts of yours you to save face is not needed. By you engaging in ad hom attacks it is a signal that the debate for all intents and purposes is over.

    There is always evidence. Everything you say and do is evidence of how you think.
    In this case your non committal response to my words "Whilst you have taken on the far more difficult job of sniping from the side lines"
    indicate they are correct.

    That's not evidence, that's an assumption. A misplaced one at that.

    Keep repeating yourself forever, its evidence, just as wet ground is evidence of rain.

    By all means refute the evidence, tell us the equivalent or better position to President you have achieved.

    And those weapons which i wouldn't call heavy was supplied by outside sources
    VC it was China and the Afghan freedom fighters it was the US

    so you wouldn't think if we had a civilian armed upraising no other country would supply that civilian force with as many enemies the US government has ?

    There has been many events in history which a lightly armed civilian force defeated a much more powerful standing army with and without outside assistance

    and do you really think the US government will roll tanks down main st USA and bomb churches and schools?

    Do you know how much world outrage you would have

    See, now you are changing the goal posts. The "evidence" referred to was in regards to if I do anything beside "snipe from the sidelines".

    In the case of being President, flipping burgers at McDonald's is a more admirable achievement as it is an honest days work, instead of being a corropt politician that seems powers over others. If you wish to admire the corrupt, no one is stopping you just don't lose sight that it's nothing more than a popularity contest won by some terrible people.

    If

    You need to get your story straight.

    That it is folly to think that arms in the hands of civilians will empower those civilians to beat the US Military.

    Don't be ridiculous. It was that you don't do anything about the countries issues except criticise those who try to, while claiming it is easy.
    Yeah sure it is.
    Flipping burgers is fine but it does not require the same intelligence as being president.
    You are trying to move the goal posts from intelligence needed to a more obscure honest job claim.

    And yet, you provide examples of how the US government can be attacked without F15s an nukes - thereby negating the claim you say Biden got right.

    I realize there are debates among folks when a Prez is joking or not, but clearly he was kidding.

    On the other hand, those who think they need guns to fight the government deserved to be mocked, the whole idea might have been a thing in
    seventeen ninety something, but not today, it's absurd, our gov is here to stay, love it or leave it, as they say.

    Did the Viet Minh or the Taliban need fighter jets or nuclear weapons to defeat the US military?

    Biden's foolish remarks only bring attention to the failures of the US military since 1945.

    Jeez, still this nonsense continues. If America had needed to beat Viet Mihn to save itself it would have flattened the country into a nuclear dust bowl.
    The US army had self imposed restraints in both wars.

    Both the Viet Minh and Taliban are the kinds of persons who are bred to fight to death, bred for wars of attrition because war and death is all they known throughout their lives, their doctrine is based on death, and death means nothing to them, and they are high on drugs (Opium, etc) as they attack US Soldiers, and both are well ensconced in their native hard to access, and formidable rugged and very UnAmerican friendly environments that Americans are no match for, such as the jungle in Viet Nam and the Afghan Mountains, and you are going to compare that to bourgeoise middle class militia mongers , who think they are hot **** who own some guns against any Army/Marine fighting regiment with tanks, howitzers, machine guns, F-22s, Apache Helicopters, etc etc on easy access American soil? You think any of these middle class militia mongers are going to fight till the end as American guns blow holes in their homes while their wives scream "you idiot, what the **** are you doing, you're endangering our kids!!!!" you think the middle class white babies are going last like the Taliban and Viet Minh? You are dreaming.

    The only foolish remark here is your false comparison.

    You might want to rethink that! You really REALLY don't, clearly thinking you do hasn't panned out so far with the claim we gun owners think we should be able to own NUKES LMFAO :)

    So, somehow you are able to peer into my personal life now from just a few posts on the internet?

    Interesting.

    Please, quote the part of the Constitution that states any threshhold for intelligence?

    No?

    Didn't think so.

    Biden, Trump Bush and Clinton were at best of average intelligence. The only fairly inteelent POTUS we've had is probably Obama.

    Your very unresponsive rant and doe not relate at all to the current political climate in the US or anything from my post.

    The inconvenient truth: The US military has not won a final decisive victory over any enemy in over 75 years in spite of an overwhelming military advantage that has allowed us to win countless battles without gaining anything of any benefit.

    The USG will never incite Americans to engage in guerrilla warfare. Our corrupt bipartisan ruling political class is very corrupt, but it is not suicidal. Your vision of Americans confronting tanks is a disturbing violent fantasy.
