This is a very good point. Seems like we were told recently that the US can't be invaded because the population in general is so heavily armed.
Heavily armed against infantry, garrisons, and sentries, not aircraft in the air.

And it would be a deterrent, not a "brick wall."

You're probably right. A well-aimed shot by a frumpy looking gentleman brought down a modern Russian aircraft with possibly a shotgun. So a gravy meal team with customized AR-15s with unique camo color schemes and bump stocks will be soloing fortified positions and high-fiving at the blue team objective before the noob "trained" military with over-priced gear knows what hit them. Tanks will be jack-in-the-boxing left and right when they get hit with those specially made home loaded rounds. Meal Team Six!

The Russians should give their pilots AK-47s so they can fire back.

Now MeDotOrg, Binger would never find any of the countless overstatements of Russian power and victory the least bit humorous. He doesn't really find the Ukraine gun thing that funny either outside of context of this board. In his mind, this is the kind of story that all we dumb liberals who support Ukraine will believe without hesitation out of bias only. Further, our ignorance of guns, because we aren't unhinged Second Amendment, means we'd believe a semi-auto 12-guage with a modified choke can bring down a plane.

Dr. Shades really went the extra mile when he could have pointed out that the farmer's gun in the picture wouldn't bring down a Robin at 30 yards.

Read carefully. I said "NOT" aircraft in the air, not "AND" aircraft in the air.

There's a difference between taking over a country and maintaining occupation of it. An armed populace deters the latter, not so much the former.

In your opinion, do my words "infantry, garrisons, and sentries" equal "tank?"

You're working overtime in order to purposefully misunderstand everything I said in both that thread and this one.

I find the comments a lot humorous.

That was some of your best and most clever writing in a while, Gad. Like the good ol' Gad. Well done.

Gauge, not guage.

Little did he know that his target was a Russian 3M14 "Kalibr" missile. The nephrolith volley brought down the $980 million dollar missile, causing it to plunge and detonate safely in a nearby field.

It's not working hard. Civies with AR-15s aren't a deterrent. I'm just having fun with the argument in it's entirety. Why? Because it's a bad argument.
