    The entire "never seen an AK kill a tank" argument is idiotic.

    An AK or similar weapons will set a defensible range against indivual troops that will allow weapons effective against armror to get close enough to be effective.

    I've never seen any unit just carry a "missle launcher" or plant an IED into the field by itself to assault an armored vehicle. The definetly carry rifles and without them they would be unable. Rifles like the AK perform the bulk of the work in the field of battle, especially in guerilla warfare.

    So yes, technically, AK's beat tanks.

    You mean you expect the world to do nothing if the US uses nuclear weapons for purposes of domestic pacification? After all that freedom we brought them, you think they're going to pass up a chance to say "america is oppressing her people and we will help the **** out of you"
    We'll have UNO blue helmets over here raping people before you can blink.

    Nope, then again I was replying to the "Unarmed" narrative of the OP.. You all and your hyperbolic spin on guns against tanks, well that was your fantasy and tangent route. The main topic was clearly "The would be gun grabbers position all shot to hell".

    And the "TWO"Lessons the author of the post provided were
    But you feel free to chastise the author any way you like, but, I don't see how it's gonna make your point any better ;)

    Wrong again. I was replying to the OP comment..."Just look at the video from Venezuela of the government tanks running over people and killing them. They are being killed and they have no way to shoot back!!!" ;)

    And I was originally commenting on the "TWO LESSONS".. Like I said, it hardly makes your contribution any more relevant because you failed to fact check and simply jumped in to pool of misinformation, like most people do ;)

    Funny how you're acting all high and mighty when it's clear, based on a bunch of your comments to me and others, that you didn't know it wasn't a tank at first either ;) heh heh heh

    Wow, there's nothing a gun can do against a tank? Thank God you provided this information. Thank you so very much. It was most helpful.

    I started giving you a clue on the second page slick, but you were head down a determined to be right instead of accurate and ended up looking, well, we both know the answer to that :)

    That doesn't change the fact that your comments on page 1 and 2 shows you thought it was a tank also. ;)

    Let's say it was a tank. Or let's say it was some other armored vehicle. How would it being one or the other make any difference to the argument that an unarmed populace is less equipped to resist government tyranny?

    Why you asking ME that? That wasn't my argument. That isn't relevant to what I was saying in regards to the comment in the OP. See, I can play that game too ;)

    It doesn't mean you didn't make a personal attack. You called me a hypocrite.

    I asked because you seem to be making a big deal about whether it was a tank or some other armored vehicle. Either way it doesn't matter, if people are disarmed.

    Wrong. Butternuts was making it a big deal that it was an armored vehicle and not a tank.

    Rule 2: When replying to a post, your own post must be about the post to which you are replying, not the poster themselves.

    Your post was about me, not about the topic.
