Americans Use Firearms to Restore Law!

Name: Anonymous 2006-07-03 21:11

To all those who say that firearms rights will not protect citizens from an abusive government, I should cite the story of Athens, Tennessee. 

In a few small American counties in 1946...

The folks at Athens would have made the Framers proud. 

Don't forget it!

Good story! I remember that from that said issue of Guns & Ammo.  They were true Americans of a dying breed.

Yeah, sadly true Americans are dying. Only Libertarians seem to respect constitution and american way. Democrats want to create banland social democracy and republicans want to create banland police state. Dark times for America.

Dictators believe that public order is more important than the rule of law. However, Americans reject this idea.

Yes they do ;)

Ones you're thinking about aren't true Americans. There are few true Americans these days. Redneck christian republicans and whiny liberals are not true Americans. True Americans are freedomloving people. Classical liberals. Sadly they are dying breed and America has been ruled for decades by people who shit on American ideals.

That is conservatism, not a dictatorship. Conservatives believe in a stable government above all else, Liberals believe in the preservation of rights above all else.

Who the fuck are you to decide what a "true" American is? As far as I'm concerned, if you're a citizen of the United States, you're an American. It doesn't matter how drunken, sober, religious, evil, good, liberal, conservative, educated, foreign, nationalistic or whatever you are. Sure they may be shitting on what you consider "American" ideals, even shitting on the ideals of our forefathers, but that doesn't matter. It may suck horribly, but just let it go and enjoy the ride towards our inevitable destruction.

>>11 It's all up to you now. Because you have impregnated the world with $ we'll be holding you alive through seven more crusades on drugs and even an invasion of Iran... You are an empire, where the relationship between all the sectors of society are harmful, restrictive or vitriolic. And you can't change due to the two-party system... The rest of the world can only do damage control, close their eyes and hope for the best, cuz if you lose our economies are going to go bugfuck inside a week.

It wouldn't be freedom of speech if we didn't allow people to say we shouldn't have the freedom of speech.

Those are "American" ideals, and in that sense, the Classical Liberals were very "American."

So if the government decides to murder a couple million people, the other people in the United States should not take up arms and stop it?

The law and government were obviously corrupt.  They took up arms and reinstated honest government.

They didn't take care about the ones that let this go on, they are still around.

You foolish naive liberals are missing the point. Guns are there to prevent the government from becomming genocidal and tyrannic in the first place. THe only thing stopping KKK riders from dominating Athens was the fact that staunch libertarians were ready to fight for other people's rights, partly because of their own moral conscience, but also due to hobbe's law which states that if the government can tread on the rights of 1 man then it can tread on yours too, thus preserving someone elses liberty is your responsiblity aswell.

lol. iraqis had guns. but did they rise up against saddam? no. you fail.

Holy fuck you're stupid. My point was that the public should have guns to prevent tyranny from happenning in the first place, to preserve democracy. To prevent tyranny.

Iraq was a military dictatorship from 1958 to 2003 and a monarchy/colony before that. Saddam came to power in 1979. Iraq was never a democracy to begin with, unless you think a vote like this

Tick 1 box to vote lol
[] I vote for Saddam, he is awesome.
[] I want to be viciously and horrifically tortured to death and for my family to be executed.

is democracy.

You sure that Iraqis had guns? I mean they seemed to think Americans as liberators and after that they started fighting against them and themselves in order to create independent Iraq. Sounds like they didn't have guns before or how do you explain why they didn't fight against Saddam? It's not like Saddam was any better than Americans.

They only said so because they didn't want to be tortured or killed by their new dictator.

That wasn't my point read the whole post. If they rose up against Americans and even fight against themselves then why they did't fight against Saddam? Saddam's goverment wasn't their utopia by any means nor did most like it.

Maybe you are incredibly stupid and will never understand my point so you should just kill yourself? You have one more chance, get your 50 sleeping pills and a glass of water. Here it is again.

Iraq was a tyranny before Saddam came to power, it has essentially been a tyranny since civilisation first began in that region.
Therefore you cannot cite Saddam's rise to power in Iraq as an example to suggest that arming civilians does not prevent democracies from turning into tyrannies.

That was only one instance.  And, yeah, that's probly true, whoever has more/better guns has a higher likelyhood of winning in the end -  the government, or the people.

the only really effective form of topplng a dictatorship is with people power. Thats the end of the discussion. Look at the last modern revolution....the fall of the soviet bloc. It was people WITHOUT guns, facing a huge army, that brought about the end. GUNS didnt prevent the rise of the bolsheviks in 1917, even though at the time it was a largely unpopular coup! And most of the civilian populace at the time was armed. Thus guns are not a key factor in toppling dictators, or installing them. It all has to come down to propaganda and what people are willing to believe.
