Biden warns conservatives in speech to gun control fans ‘they need F-15s, they don’t need a rifle’

[westwall]

While we have seen horrible abuses in our history, we have never had a totalitarian system which forced obedience to the regime by the general public.

Till now. The demofascists demand complete obedience.

While we have seen horrible abuses in our history, we have never had a totalitarian system which forced obedience to the regime by the general public.

We did for a hundred years

The Jim Crow South enforced second class citizenship on a large percentage of its population

They didn’t allow them to vote, free speech was punished, protestors were beaten and jailed.

If that is not a totalitarian regime, nothing is.

Martin Luther King led a movement that brought them down……not with bullets but by using the US Constitution

 

[rightwinger]

Yeah, they were. The American colonies, unlike most other areas that Britain had subjugated, were heavily armed. On a par with and in many cases better than, the professional British troops.

The colonials did fine with the guerilla warfare they were waging. They lost when they banded together to fight a conventional battle.

And they still lost the majority of those even after the French intervention. But the guerrilla troops were a constant worry to the British and it is arguable that their constant draining of British morale that led to the ultimate British capitulation.

More fantasy

Guerrilla warfare was an annoyance to the British but had no significant impact on the war.
The Continental Army kept the British in check but were not capable of delivering a death blow.
It was the addition of the French that ended the war

That's not what the historical record shows.

But we all know you flee from facts.

Most totalitarian regimes are like that
Those who comply with the regime are treated well.
Those who don’t are treated brutally

Guerrilla warfare was more than just an annoyance to British. It was of great benefit to the continental army.

OK
Show where guerrilla forces forced the British out of any position or significantly altered the outcome of the war

 

[Invisibleflash]

The future of warfare will be cyber and drones. Jets are quickly becoming less valuable and grossly over priced.

Now of course, true hard military might is unmatched. A hypersonic nuke would fit this bill. However, the landscape of warfare is changing rapidly and the West better learn from what is being conducted around the world currently as an example.

This is where the billionaire class may have a chance in a perpetual purge like world. A Mad Max apocalypse if you will. Deep pockets will ensure they can buy their own army of technical nerds and the best drones the world has to offer.

Dems will use AI robots to disarm America.

In fact, we did at one time have a totalitarian and tyrannical government that didn’t allow people to vote, locked up those who protested the government, attacked citizens involved in peaceful protest.

That government was brought down not by armed citizens but by a free press that documented the abuses, courts which enforced the Constitution and elected legislatures that enacted new laws.

That is why we honor Martin Luther King.

We have that today with your fascist administration locking up people who were peacefully protesting a fraudulent election for nothing more than 'trespassing' in the people's house. You support an authoritarian regime that locks up its citizens and labels them as terrorists.

And spies on them, kills them, steals from them, and otherwise abuses them.

He's having his chief political opponent tried in court, gagged, and potentially jailed, and he has the audacity to speak about authoritarianism, he supports it.

Guerrilla warfare alone did not defeat British forces. The continental army used the guerrilla forces to conduct raids and ambushes which helped deplete British units.

It was especially effective in early battles.

While the Jan 6 capitol riot was not an insurrection, it morphed into something more than just a peaceful protest.

It was more than just trespassing. There was a lot of unnecessary and inexcusable vandalism that day. No one should condone that.

That said, there was no attempt to overthrow government.

 

[scruffy]

US infantry soldiers inflicted an astonishing number of casualties and fatalities upon the forces they faced.

Was that before or after the pink and purple hair?

Agree
It made the Brits alter their tactics

Early in the war, that was all we had

 

[Weatherman2020]

Another myth that you believe.

The Continental Army was not armed with the soldiers trusty musket from home. Problem with that is logistics. You can’t have dozens of different rifles/muskets requiring different balls.
These were not Citizen Soldiers like you saw in the militia. They were organized soldiers who signed up for a set time and were not free to go home.

You are learning a lot of history today aren’t you?

Hilarious. Now that we’ve shown my wife’s 5X G-Grandpa fought alongside Washington from Trenton to the end I’ve shifted my history knowledge acquisition back a century.

A. A man who left his farm like hundreds of thousands of citizens to take up the fight against tyranny.

B. Weapons were generally from home. Like today, weapons and calibers were standardized long before the war.

Now you’ve had your 4th history lesson today.

 

[scruffy]

Except for the masks and the vac and such.

How exactly did the British change their tactics?

From Bunker Hill in 1775 to Battle of Guilford Court in 1781 to Yorktown after that British tactics remained unchanged.

Your 5th history lesson is complete.
