For someone who continually says the gun ownership has nothing to do with his fear you sure sound paranoid.
Given the amount of crime and scumbags that are afoot in our society, a little paranoia can be life-saving.

I have friends born and raised in South Central Los Angeles. Not everyone has the good fortune to be born into a lilly white suburban neighborhood where people are usually respectful of property and life. They live where certain people will kill you just for looking at them. This is not an exageration, this is not paranoia, but reality.

Come on now, you think that's not an exaggeration??? Now that's paranoia to the extreme. I lived in LA for five years, and I worked with people who lived in South Central. I would ask them "aren't you scared to live there?", and their reply was "no, it's not bad at all except to people involved with gangs."

Two friends dead is not an exaggeration. I never said that they were scared to live there, but they were more realistic about the prospects of violence than some others appear to be. Being realistic is not being paranoid. Is it paranoid for a police officer to wear a gun? Is it paranoid for a doctor to wear gloves? Is it paranoid to want health insurance?

Remember you do not just need a gun for protection from criminals. You also need to own guns for protection from the government. It is your responsibility to own a gun. Also, in most cases there is the "reasonable man" clause. And it means that any reasonable man would stop attacking you if you show them you have a gun.

How would F-16s be useful in a conflict without fronts, without borders, with no enemy encampments, with no marching army regiments, where you don't know if the man standing next to you on the bus is part of the resistence or not?

What hypothetical situation are you envisioning here? A tyrant has taken over the government. So what do the people of america who disagree with the tyrant do? How do they fight back in your theory? How do .38 specials help to bring down the tyrant or change his policies?

It's a shame you aren't more imaginative. I can think of things that have happened all over the world in the form of clandestine operations, such as ambushes of high level personnel, distrupting communications and data handling infrastructure as well as assasinations. However, I would not advocate nor encourage any such behavior. It is best to crawl on your belly and lick the jack boots of your masters (I'm sure you would agree with me, it's better to live on knees than die on your feet, right Alex?).

Well here's what you posted....
"I'm just gonna be happy I don't live in a society where we don't fear crazy men with knives running at us I guess."
we DON'T live in a society where we DON'T fear? Perhaps what you mean is
"I'm just gonna be happy I live in a society where we don't fear crazy men with knives running at us I guess."
Or even this would have worked.....
"I'm just gonna be happy I don't live in a society where we fear crazy men with knives running at us I guess."
Notice the extra "don't" is missing?
So oh unwise one, perhaps Canadas schools need some help as well.
Or is it just you?

distrupting communications and data handling infrastructure as well as assasinations.
We're talking about how you prevent a government with the full backing of the military and police carrying out whatever policies it desires. You stated .38 specials would help you. I asked you how.
Clearly this has stumped you.
The fact is of course that .38 specials would be of no use whatsoever. Hi-explosive, tanks, mortar, rocket-launchers along with people trained and tough enough to use them effectively would be a bare minimum. Rifles and 38 specials don't cut it. Ask the taliban.

I did, too bad you have trouble with comprehending what you read. First off, it's obvious from your questions and responses that you know so little about arms and tactics that any attempt to explain things would fly so far over your head that it's like trying to explain physics to a hound dog. Most people today don't use .38 specials, but the possible scenarios I described could utilize small arms of that caliber. Fill in the blanks if you are able.

Again, reading comprehension has eluded you. Comparing the U.S. government fighting the Taliban to domestic resistance is ignorant. These are two entirely different kinds of conflicts. One has well defined enemies and open warfare, the other is of insurgents, clandestine operations, and tactical moves that you obviously don't have the ability or desire to understand. Your knowledge of weapons (.38 specials, Hi-explosive???) strategy and tactics (using F16s, tanks & rocket launchers within areas where the opposing sides and non-combatants are co-mingled???) is not sufficiently developed enough for you to engage in an intelligent conversation on this topic.
I will again include a version of my peaceful coexistence with tyrrany disclaimer for you. I do not advocate nor encourage any resistence or defensive actions against my government, blind and total obedience is important to the welfare of society. It is best to crawl on your belly and lick the jack boots of your masters.
Alex, is it safe to say that you agree with me if I say that it's better to live on knees than die on your feet? Come on, admit it, you do.

Yawn..have you got your usual pompous burst of self-importance out of the way now?
the other is of insurgents, clandestine operations, and tactical moves that you obviously don't have the ability or desire to understand.
How large is this "clandestine" force of yours going to be? What if the tyrant has enormous support similar to Hitler? As your historical knowledge is so laughable you won't have heard of George Jackson, the Black Panthers, the red army faction or the red brigades. I can inform you that all these groups tried assassinations, bombings and "clandestine" operations. None of them ever came close to bringing down the government. They all ended up dead or in jail.
I repeat. How are handguns going to help bring down the government?
There appears to be no end to your stupidity.

Like it or not, you are probably in a militia. Check your states Consititution. Mine says:
ARTICLE 12. Militia Section 1. Composition Section 1. A militia shall be provided and shall consist of all persons over the age of seventeen (17) years, except those persons who may be exempted by the laws of the United States or of this state. The militia may be divided into active and inactive classes and consist of such military organizations as may be provided by law.
