With guns in your house, you don't have to fear genocides. Without them, you do.

Inquire of the Swiss, if you don't credit the Americans.

UG, you're wrong.

I don't have a gun in the house and I don't fear genocide.

...

I would bet lunch that you have one or more guns in the house and that genocide occupies a goodly portion of your waking moments, and not all of them reveling in your purported ability to turn back a genocidal attack.

(that's actually kinda hard to type with a straight face. you don't really believe everything that you post, do you?)

[Happy Monkey]

It certainly doesn't seem like anyone else I've run into on the Cellar fears genocide quite as much as UG.

[classicman]

Remington and Browning stay in my house. I think very little about genocide.

[BigV]

those little thoughts... are they fearful ones?

[classicman]

Nope, not at all. I'm rather confident actually.
I can get my gun & have it loaded before "you" can make it upstairs.
I am simply prepared should all other options fail.

Guns are one of those things that simply must have in-person oversight, IMHO. A real person to look you up and down, make sure you at least superficially appear to be who you say you are, make sure that you are not the same dude who came in a week ago pretending to be someone else.

You can't actually buy a gun online. The shopping results direct you to a store that sells the gun. If you want to buy it from them, they ship it to a licensed dealer near you and you go through all the rigmarole there.

Are you implying that the Swiss citizenry are so well armed because they fear genocide? Wrong again, UG.

Switzerland is a small country and wishes to preserve its neutrality above all else. To this end, every healthy male in Switzerland between the ages of 18 and 60 is an on-call member of the Swiss army. They go in for a month or two of rigorous training every 2 years or so. The Swiss keep their military issued weapons in their homes in case of a sudden emergency like an attempted invasion or something.

This saved the Swiss from Hitler during WWII. That and the fact that Hitler needed the rail lines between Germany and fascist Italy to remain open without threat of sabotauge. Those rails just so happened to run through the Swiss Alps.

And anyhow, if someone invaded Switzerland with genocide in mind, that person would have to hate just about everyone since Switzerland is divided into 4 regions - French speaking, German, Italian, and the quaint Romanch Swiss who speak a dialect more like Latin then anyone else.

As usual your paranoid hysteria overcomes all reason in your posts.

Notice that many of the genocidal governments/groups also use things like tanks, airstrikes, missiles and/or massive number of armed men on the order of the thousands. Your standard gun, no matter how big, will be more or less useless against them. Not one of them uses small groups of guys who simply have nothing better to do and might find pause in an armed angry man (or family) for any of the genocides that get heard about. One man in his house with his hands full of guns is not going to stop any of those if they really want to kill you. If they can't get in, they'll just burn you out... then you can go down in a blaze of Honor and Glory and Napalm.

Rwanda comes to mind. But the USA is no Rwanda.

[footfootfoot]

I served with Rwanda, I knew Rwanda, Rwanda was a friend of mine. USA, are no Rwanda.
