Those that want to limit your rights will always use the mantra "lets protect the children" to do so.... those in this industry should know that better than the average citizen, its been used against us for more than 40 years.
The government already limits your rights to bear arms. Otherwise, you would be allowed to own an Apache helicopter.

As for making schools safer, I agree, with the gun buyers paying for all costs. Bulletproof glass, armed guards, metal detectors like they have at airports, etc. It won't cost a lot, say 5% on taxes.

The might of the US Military didnt do very well with taking out insurgents in Syria...
The rest is nonsense. Muslims are in a hurry to get to heaven for their virgins. Americans are in a hurry to to Macdees for a free burger.

They will never kill US citizens en mass to root out 4-5 million "insurgents" trying to defend the Constitution.
How many died in the civil war?

You forget that a bunch of farmers beat the Redcoats because of guerilla warfare tactics.
They beat an army 6,000 miles from home and armed with similar weapons.

This would be no different, it would be house to house fighting which would seriously diminish any advantage that the weapons you posted would provide the US military.
Did they go house to house to defeat the Branch Davidians?

The US government would pass laws and Americans would moan and gripe about it and do nothing. Your rights have changed since the Constitution was written, changing it again wouldn't be a problem. Especially if the voting public demand it. And there's the problem so many things are done to us that we shouldn't allow and you we sit meekly and take it.
