It's less about politics and more about explaining why "Red Dawn" scenarios aren't worth even dreaming about.

You make a good point. A zombie invasion is beyond impossible, yet it is MORE plausible than a Red Dawn style invasion? Not likely. I agree with k9870, if you have to image either scenario, it is just for fun. Even though either situation happening would be anything BUT fun.

Well, yeah, but at least zombies are unrealistic enough and hypothetical enough that it's possible to take them less seriously.

Whereas if you talk about fighting a guerrilla war against a human enemy, you're automatically going to have to talk about something related to real life. It's inherent to the topic. Apples and oranges, I'm afraid.

Except when it comes to gun control. Those libtards don't know what they're talking about. . I cannot physcially even attempt to give equal consideration when it comes to both sides of that argument.

Being apolitical is kind of a foolish mindset. You don't need to be one of these stupid activists who doesn't have a job yet is out demonstrating every day on the street corner, but being willfully ignorant of politics is immature.

Also, political science and electoral politics are two very different fields.

I see it like so:
The liberal approach to gun control is very endearing. They are trying sooooo hard to protect us from.... nothing. Best intentions, most moronic methods.

Background checks are great. I don't want a freshly released felon nabbing a SNS and offing his parole officer.
But I also don't want to be denied my constitutional right to own a firearm; ANY type of firearm.

By all means don't make it easy for us to get .50 cal HMMWV mounted guns, but don't make it ridiculous.

Cool

I'd probably go to Fort Bragg and join up with my brother's unit. Get my hands on a M24 and do some damage.
