    A lot of these gun nuts actually believe the only thing holding China back from invading us is the fact that we’re heavily armed. Don’t get me wrong, in the event of a foreign invasion I can see how a heavily armed population could deter or thwart the enemy. But Americans don’t understand how insanely fucking overpowered the US military is. The ability to project power to the other side of the planet on MULTIPLE FRONTS is uniquely American, and it is the US military’s principle objective since WWII. The only way to do that is with countless trillions of dollars which only the US has been willing and able to do for decades.

    The idea of Russia, China, or literally anyone, packing hundreds of thousands or millions of troops into boats, sailing across the Atlantic or the Pacific, landing ground troops in our cities, taking out the air force, navy, coast guard, army, and national guard, to the point where friggin Bubba and his Meal Team 6 commandos need to grab their guns and start shooting commies in the streets…it would be funny if it weren’t their core political ideology…

      I feel like theres also some people who want guns so they could fight the government (like texas threatening to secede), which is equally hilarious.
