rooster, last week you sounded like a patriotic american.
today you sound like protecting her soil doesn't matter to you.
The world changes very fast. A russian or chinese nuke attack could knock down the web and most electricity for the US. I suppose you could use your brilliant wit to fend off any invaders, foreign or domestic groups capitalizing on the lack of infrastructure (see: iraqi death squads). However, a long gun like an AR would be a much wiser choice for keeping your family alive until things got better.
You don't think these things thru tho. just because you don't need one today, doesn't mean the world might not change quickly. Think about it this way - if the US could instantly take out Russia or China, we'd do it, right? Their resources would make the US stronger, and they wouldn't be a threat anymore. if we could take them out with no consequence, we'd do it in a minute right?
Well, they would too. So wake up, and always be prepared for a world that could change instantly.
