Those with guns can go fight ISIS

[CapLock]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately some of todays "Volunteer" army is composed of kids who want to go to college and not pay for it. I heard it many a time during the last presidents term[s] BUT, BUT i signed up so i could go to college, not go to war.

UM yeah what exactly do you think the .mil does. WELL................... i didn't think it would happen while i was in

I had plenty of those types in my flight when I was going through Basic. I'd never heard of or met any malingerers until I joined up. Contemptible idiots.

The left loves thinking this is what gun owners are. Stereotyping is ok when it fits the agenda.

Author doesn't want that. And he doesn't want gun owners going to fight ISIS because, as you point out, we would win and make Libtards look stupid.

He wants another test on collective gun ownership. Saying if gun owners aren't going to go fight, they can't own guns because they are unwilling to be the militia. Therefore 2A is null and void in his mind. And that's all the exercise is intended to do. Not actually solve any problems/issues.

Kind of like the refugee settlement... We aren't solving any problems there either (because nothing has changed in Syria), just importing more Democrat change agents.
