  You can't use a nuke against a bunch of citizens and keep a functioning country going. You have to go after them one by one with infantry or maybe AirCav, and if there are enough of them and they're organized enough they will be able to fight back effectively even with 30-06s.
  
  If it's 250K military troops vs. 20 million armed citizens I'll go with the 20 million armed citizens.

  There's been enough hot air blown around here to fuel a hot air baloon.

  You should try to stay away from efforts which are beyond your level of competence, RealCon. You might hurt yourself.

  "the reservaton could not be cancelled as it was already paid."
  
  What bunk! Just because the reservation couldn't be cancelled doesn't mean the event couldn't be. If they were able to end it early, why couldn't they have cancelled it? Was losing the deposit so terrible? It happens to people all the time. The NRA doesn't appear to be short of cash, and if the members are so reasonable, they would have understood under the circumstances.

  About NRA Conventions- they are scheduled much further in advance than 2 years. They usually pick the location and time at least 8 years in advance.
  
  As for the convention- it pretty much was canceled. They only held the voting for officers and such. That is what the main part of the convention is. They didn't hold any of the workshops or guest lectures, nor did they have the gun show that normally accompanies the NRA Convention.
  
  And this is coming from someone that many consider to be a liberal. Oops, I stated something about my political beliefs. Crap.

  Well still, even if the NRA meeting WAS cancelled, the bottom line is that citizens really don't need guns for anything legal. WE don't live in the 18th century. We don't need a citizen's militia. Who the fuck are we gonna fight? The guns should be in the hands of the people protecting us and protecting freedom. The police and military. Dave, if you like guns so much, why don't you join the army or something? You're just trying to find reasons to keep your weapons of murder.

  Demigodd, you and most of America have missed the entire point of the 2nd Amendment. It's to protect yourself and your family from external threats, be it a foreign country that attacks, a lone person or group who attempt to rob you, and especially to keep your own government from oppressing you.
  
  Don't think that just because have police we, the common man, don't need guns. There's one cop for around 1200 citizens. They're not equipped to protect us, it's our responsiblity to stand up.
  
  I'm not telling you that you *have* to own a gun. I think you should, but if you choose not that's also your right. But don't decide that because you can't see the reason for owning a gun that no one else has a legitimate reason for owning one.

  Ok... enough is enough! I keep hearing take guns away.. guns kill people... blah blah blah...
  Guns don't kill people... PEOPLE kill people!
  It is like saying your pencil is the reason you misspell words!
