Is this the perfect answer for our curious England Counterpart about why we need weapons?

[Fuentes]

I think it's a perfect answer, what do you think?

[NYCQuestions1976]

Seems about right to me. Especially on this extended Independence Day holiday weekend. People also don't know (or conveniently forget) that Japan quickly discarded a brief plan of potentially invading the west coast of the United States during World War II because of our Second Amendment. Admiral Yamamoto completely dismissed the idea, saying, "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." Happy Independence Day everyone!

[NYCQuestions1976]

Thanks for Most Helpful. 👍

Fosho happy 4th maanne

[NYCQuestions1976]

You also. 👍

[KrakenAttackin]

Bam! Spot on correct! And a perfect question/answer for the 4th of July!

[Exterminatore]

It’s a good answer. I think the best answer is the leading cause of death on this planet is not famine, nor disease, nor pestilence. It’s other humans. Most people would say: “people are fundamentally good.” Really? With our murdering, wars, and genocides.


I think mankind is fundamentally evil, with the capability of doing good.


Clearly there is something very wrong with us as a species. Therefore the right to bear arms is necessary for the physical protection from evil.

[DextroShade]

I will never understand these fucked up countries that don't allow their citizens the right to defend themselves. Same goes for "duty to retreat" states in the United States, like I am supposed to jump out of window if someone is breaking into my house, it's ridiculous!

[Naydyonov]

Yes, definitely.

Both Canada & America became countries due to armed-citizens. The US directly with a war of independence and Canada with armed uprisings, which convinced the British government of the need to be proactive in giving Canada power for self-governance, lest an outright armed movement to rid Canada of British political influence entirely be created.

[jshm2]

No. It's quite pathetic, as the founders had muskets and swords - not "guns".

Plus they actually signed a few treaties and concessions after the independence war, and did very much care what the British Crown thought.

Especially as it was one of their bigger markets.

[Lliam]

We are sovereign citizens, endowed by the Creator with self-evident, unalienable rights. We are not loyal subjects. The English are boot lickers.

[worldscolide]

Oh definitely, the other reason it was put in place was to stop outside countries from invading, and to remove, if needed, governments who have turned against the people.

[Dargil]

We needed weapons to protect us from tyranny from England, and now from Leftist Democrats.

[DarkLegacy]

The only tyranny is the USA with there illegal wars and trying to dictate to everyone on everything. Well done to China, N Korea and Iran for standing up to them. Your comment is hilarious.

[Exterminatore]

@dark

Well done to China? At lest the US didn’t murder like 65 million of it own citizens. N. Korea. Yes, lovely place where the citizens starve. Iran! Wonderful place supplying weapons to Israel’s enemies so they can use them to kill civilians.

Something is fundamentally wrong with you if you think those countries are bastions of virtue.

[Dargil]

@DarkLegacy I'm here to entertain! You post tells me you are, as well.

[DarkLegacy]

@Exterminatore How did China murder 65 million of its own citizens, what about the Yanks with all their illegal wars, and crashing planes into the world trade centre

[Exterminatore]

However, Mao's government was responsible for vast numbers of deaths, with estimates ranging from 40 to 80 million victims due to starvation, persecution, prison labour, and mass executions, which drew criticism for being considered totalitarian rule.[6][7][

That is an excerpt from this article:

[Dargil]

@Exterminatore The thing is with these weird leftists, that they enemy of their enemy which is the United States is their friend. I am looking forward to seeing what happens to all these leftist liberals when the shit hits the fan. There aren't enough safe spaces.

[Exterminatore]

@Dargil

Agreed, and they are in fact internal enemies as you stated, bent on America’s destruction. They use our freedoms, like freedom of speech and freedom of the press against us.

[Levin]

It's a good comeback but Americans need to understand that we don't care about that aspect of our history. I'm pretty sure we thought North America was some backwater for the most part.

[Anonymous]

As a brit all you have to do is mention London's knife crime under London Crime mayor Khan.

[Anonymous]

Democrats want to disarm women, the elderly, and disabled people so they can be robbed, raped, and killed.

[DarkLegacy]

They are clearly not the equality pioneers that they claim to be

[TrueConfection]

Great answer! 👏

[Tstrbrainer]

I really want to know how many replies that response got 😍

[exitseven]

nice comeback for sure.

[ShadezMcgee]

In terms of funny comebacks, definitely.

[DarkLegacy]

yes and we don't care what the USA think either. Go and play with your guns. It is not just us, even your own people don't think you need guns. An

[DarkLegacy]

And it had nothing to do with us, it was to do with your civil war, go and educate yourself about your own history

[NYCQuestions1976]

Civil War? The Second Amendment has been part of the Constitution since the Revolutionary War.

[Fuentes]

Lol the US eas created in 1776 right after we banished the brits, the Civil War didn't cause it lol

[slatyb]

I don't care what the answer is, it's wrong. The data on gun deaths makes that abundantly clear.

[Fuentes]

It doesn't make it wrong at all lol

[Anonymous]

Yeah also just fun down the range

[gorydetails]

Right on.
