Re:Really, what good would a GUN do? (Score 1)

Let me tell you a story about a little one-shot pistol called the "Liberator."

Manufactured during WWII for less than 2 dollars US by the Guide Lamp Division of General Motors, this little stamped-metal pistol was air-dropped over France to the Resistance. Those freedom-loving French used these little guns to kill Germans and steal more powerful weapons from them. Eventually, they proved invaluable in the liberation of France. The Resistance was able to hamper and even cripple German supply lines, tying up resources well in advance of the British/American advancement.

What can a magnum or a shotgun do? In the hands of a determined populace, plenty.

Tanks, missiles and planes do not win wars all by themselves. You *have* to have infantry. Infantry takes and holds ground. Infantry, in the words of Robert Heinlein, makes war as personal as a punch in the face. Infantry still uses rifles and various other small arms to take and hold ground.

NRA hasn't forgotten, but it's obvious that either you have, or never learned to begin with.
