Grown men throwing rocks at each other

If the Egyptians had gun rights, would this thing already be over? Or would the army step in and attempt to quash it.

I'd want to believe what would happen is that most of the military would choose to side with their families rather than their oppressive leader. Most military I talk to about the subject of civil unrest in America would choose to do nothing or side with "the people" and worse case scenario from one person "shoot to miss". Me personally, I swear that I will protect the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic. That trumps the rest of the oath, leaders of any country CAN be a domestic enemy if they fail to represent the people.

Imagine here or in Egypt; citizens (and all of those ex-military) with guns standing up against their oppressive leaders. Then see how many of the current military would actually kill their own... or would they cross over.

Regardless of who is doing what, you gotta admire the citizens for standing up to their corrupt government WITH STICKS & STONES.

If Dancing with The Stars & major league sports didn't exist you'd see more of that here in the US.

Sports are vast government conspiracy invented by the Romans to keep the populace entertained so they don't cause trouble...or so my father-in-law says. I think they were simply invented by men to satisfy our urge to compete and so we have a chance to beat the hell out of each other without getting in trouble.

They should have those videos at every cross walk in America. For all those dumb people that say things like, "Hit me and I'll sue you for everything you're worth!"

Hey Ahmed I have a great idea, lets stand in the street and throw rocks at people.
But what if a car comes?
Why would someone drive in the street?



Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I would hope the military would support the citizens of Egypt or stand aside at the worst. Either way, I think it would be over by now if the citizenry were armed.
