Those with guns can go fight ISIS

#1 yes it's a shitty write up with the usual crap thrown in. Not even a comments section to voice ones opinion, as usual

However

IF it was a matter of isis / islamist actively attacking the U.S. and there were no standing .mil

Would one not offer their services to keep the menace at bay, be it at home or abroad?
Unfortunately, by that time it would be more a localized fighting on U.S soil.


WE did have civilians offer their services to the .gov during the South East Asian War Games

In November 1965 Barger sent a letter to president Lyndon Johnson at the White House in support of the war in Vietnam: "I volunteer a group of loyal Americans for behind-the-line duty in Vietnam. We are available for training and duty immediately." Barger received a letter in response from an officer stating if they wanted to fight they would have to enlist in the army.

Barger and the Hells Angels made international headlines when a small group disrupted hundreds of anti-war protesters in Berkeley, California in 1965.

This is a 'given'.

However, the author's idea was to send all gun owners "overseas". The other point that I found funny is that he's talking about 20 million gun owners to Syria, but we can't have a rational discussion about sending 11 million illegals back to Mexico.

Why would I have to go to Syria or Iraq.
My government brings them to me.

i say send all the liberals and anti-gun folks first, let them show how good their tactics work by talking sense and logic to the enemy. Then we will back them up if their plan fails.

I like the way you think.

If they like their back up, they can keep it.

Unfortunately this may really play out if terrorists attack here. They will go for soft targets in population centers = Liberals.

Sounds familiar...like no gun zones. Those seem like they would never get attacked. I just wish liberals would learn something, they are sooooo fucking stupid they don't get that they create these spaces, then wonder why they get attacked. Evil exists in this world. It's a fact.
even if the liberal infested areas get hit, those stupid fucks still won't get it. They can't get beyond their disease. Makes me wonder if they are even worth worrying about any more.
i know my opinion has changed over the years on a threat scenario. Unless me or my family is in immediate danger, fuck em I'm outta there. Same with car accidents. Watched one in LA last month about 100 yards behind the street I had just crossed (using the crosswalk with the walk light on) two retards smashed into each other pretty good. I kept walking, way too many stories or people getting sued after trying to help, or getting hurt themselves. I know it's sad and it goes against my instinct but I am all about protecting me and my family and that's it.

I've never cared for Liberals but events of late have proven to me they will never learn or change their minds. Call it brainwashing or religious adherence to Liberalism or whatever you'd like, they simply see the world a different way based on emotion rather than fact. And when they violate their own stated goals/objections they never step back and say "let's fix that" thus the feedback loop is open.

If they have their own country and that worldview only impacts them, I'm fine with it. But modern Liberalism requires the unwilling participate in their suicide pact. I'm not okay with that.

If their policies start to put people in the ground, there are going to be tough decisions to make. You can't coexist with someone who requires you to be a victim.

yeah, if they send that many "gun totin' rednecks" to Dabiq, and they'll praise Allah that the "crusaders" have been brought to them in accordance with their prophecy.

Every issue of Dabiq begins with the same quote: "The spark has been lit here in Iraq, and its heat will continue to intensify -- by Allah's permission -- until it burns the crusader armies in Dabiq." And here's where the magazine gets its name.

And he really shows his bias, ignorance, bigotry and hatred of gun owners when he states this:

Meanwhile, many of our gun owners have a surplus of aggression that needs an outlet. They manage to shoot and kill about 30 U.S. citizens every day, meaning we suffer our own “Paris attacks” every few days at the hands of a few of our own citizens. Why not deploy them against ISIS?

So let's send Mr. Arends to Chicago (and the other inner cities) to convince all the gang-bangers that they need to go over to Syria to peddle their drugs & fight turf wars... because those are the ones committing those murders he's referring to- not the millions of law-abiding gun owners.

If all of us gun owners were that aggressive and dangerous, he wouldn't be alive after posting this article.

Wow, that was twisted in a lot of ways.

What the article doesn't seem to address is that we have a volunteer army- people that want to serve our country usually join and do just that. If the tepid leadership seems to put a kibosh on that, enforcing the Selective Service to go overseas and fight is a nightmare of epic proportions. Gun owners aren't the two-dimensional rednecks the author implies; for the most art they're smart, canny and quite independent. They didn't trade their brains in for their weapons.
