Big secret. No one but a select few on the Internets Tubes knows the "real truth".

Can you name one country that the United Nations, since 1945, has been able to impose, by themselves, a disarmament of the citizens?

I would really like to see a citation on this.
I'll spot him for $100US if he can answer this question with any shred of real evidence. And no Somalia won't get you the money Bubbles.

If he wasn't so far away? I'd groupe upon him and proclaim him Bishop Dowley.
DOOOOOOOOWLY!

PS. We don't even have "lite beer" where I live, and I hope we never do.. sounds disgusting.

PPS. You can still proclaim me Bishop Dowly, right? Because, that'd look great in my resume!

That's the great thing about conspiracy theories. Any evidence that refutes the conspiracy is part of the conspiracy. Cool huh?

At the same time, any opinion that supports the conspiracy theory is considered a fact. Nice how that works.

Of course anyone who talks about conspiracies in a disparaging way is part of the conspiracy so I just outed myself.

I am part of the UN global "wez gonna take yur gunz" conspiracy. My cover is blown. I suck at this.

And the big picture here is pretty obvious. There is no force on earth that can disarm the civilians of the U.S.A. Not by coercion, by legislation or by force. The most powerful military in the world cannot disarm Afghanistan. So it's not gonna happen. Stop worrying about it.

That is such a dangerous thing, taking it for granted it won't happen. Vigilance is key, letting guard down is exactly how rights are lost.

But if a civil war would broke out in the US, you know, a big one. The one's loyal
to the POTUS/GOV would have a huge advantage.

They would have their chain-of-command, and orders to strike where the enemy is, right?`

The "rebels" would be in disarray for days probably, "what to do?","where should we go?". Before the rebels could even get properly organized they'd have air on them.

As Minister? I did that misspelling on purpose.
How many times have you ever seen me do that?
It was to test your humility. Which I must say fails as often as all the children here.
Even one such as I, who was Un-keelhauled, have no humility you could throw a brick at.
A Legally Ordain Minister that costs less then $40.00 U.S. dollars if I want all the documents to register in my state?

I still proclaim you Bishop Dowly!

I'm not talking about rights. Taking 200 million or so guns away from their owners is impossible. How would you do it?

A civil war may be the result of an attempt to disarm the populous, but what happens before that? And again there is the examples of failed attempts to subjugate smaller and less well armed nations. Ask the American gun owners on this forum what would happen. It would be messy. I think it would be almost impossible.

Question to the bishop. Will you wear the pointy hat?

Pretty damn good question!

It would probably go the way of Afghanistan, some remain pro-GOV, some go
anti-GOV. But like I said, the GOV forces would have a clear advantage early on.

How it would evolve, I got no idea.
