    I may be wrong but aren’t the aircraft they have mostly rescue type?

    Do they have fighter jets that the governor can activate?

    Well said. The Collective will believe anything the Political Class tells them.

    That's horseshit.

    The indoctrination is on you, nearly 1000 insurrectionists broke into our Capitol. They didn't have to actually win a fight, they had to achieve one of two things. Convince VP Pence to stop the certification or cause enough chaos to stop the certification of the States EC votes long enough to throw the decision to the House of Representatives, where each State gets one vote. Since there are more red States than blue the election would have been overturned and the Constitution subverted.

    VP Pence stood strong and supported the Constitution and was ready to continue with the EC vote Certification when both the House and the Senate were driven from their chambers and forced to evacuate. VP Pence refused to leave the Capitol and his out in a basement garage until the siege was over. There were buses ready to take the House Representatives away but Representative Ruben Gallego convinced his fellow members to stay; because "if we leave they won't let us back in".

    That's how close U.S. came to having the Constitution trampled on by the trump insurrection.

    Not well said, just another attempt to obfuscate the seriousness of the insurrection.

    You're wrong, most have capable fighter aircraft.

    They simply would not have the co-ordination of a military unit. And every single paramilitary group would have a different agenda. Then you have the Boogaloo Bois whose main idea is to START a civil war

    Many are receiving the 4th gen F35. They do have F16’s and F15’s. Martin was killed in an F4.

    oh heavens to betsy, it's illegal. i've got news for you, illegal things happen every day. enough money can buy just about anything. as for whether you can purchase a hellfire missile... they have been in production for nearly fifty years. how many do you suppose have gone missing in that time? if you are relying on the government to accurately keep track of everything, perhaps you should take a good look at how much actually goes missing each year from the various governmental stores. government service doesn't exactly attract the best and the brightest.

    as for who you would trust... i think you might be surprised at the arms that are all around you. the vast majority of weapons out there are owned by average joes and chances are that you would never even know that they exist. they recognize that it is their right as american citizens and simply believe that it is better to have a weapon and not need it than to need it and not have it. or have you forgotten that those gun totting neighbors probably voted in the same elections you did. they just have the foresight to recognize the corrupting nature of power. i think i would rather trust my neighbor, who i know, than an anonymous government that doesn't exactly have the greatest track record when it comes to respecting the rights of the individual.

    who said they would have the coordination of a military unit ? although such is possible .. certainly Hezbollah - Hamas - have developed such coordination == but how is this going to help the military in Chicago .. and how does having to fight in Chicago going to do to the coordination of the military ?

    Your claim of a different agenda is simply not true .. not well thought out ..and you have not addressed my points related to the OP - the need for F-16's to go against the Gov't... ?

    There are many movements have gone against Gov'ts over the years.. many have some kind of military support ... part of the Military.

    Again. In alternative reality everything possible, but on earth, buying a F-16 is not!

    But you keep writing. After all it is not about reality, it is about bashing Joe Biden.

    It really isn't.

    What's horseshit is the farcical attempt on the parts of LW bedwetters to have the rest of us believe that 1) a single demonstration that the Capitol Police inexplicably failed to control amounted to something along the lines of the Civil War and 2) the republic, democracy and Constitution that survived that actual insurrection - the Civil War - is so frail that a few hundred protesters could accomplish what the Confederacy and its armies could not.

    Laughable.

    Another thing that's horseshit is how the Left has turned J6 into its own little Reichstag Fire, and like the German National Socialists before them, they're using it as an excuse to destroy our democracy. Anyone who thinks that Nazi assclownery is going to magically restore people's trust and faith in our institutions is only fooling themselves. It's having precisely the opposite effect, and this card-carrying Libertarian can assure you it's not winning Dems any friends.

    Not gone outside the law to interfere with the function of government?! FFS... Progressives have gone well beyond interference of local, state and federal government. Hell.. one needs to look the authoritarian rule that was implemented during COVID... Then the hijacking of state constitutions, and are the face of election interference and weaponizing the federal government to attack political opposition. Today's progressives make Stalin look tame!

    Dude, it's right there. Still for sale, $8.5M. Has all of its military systems still intact. You CAN absolutely buy an F-16, if you want one, and you have the cash. Next.

    Your premise is flawed. The American people have no power over government. A very few people do. I view federal government as an enemy. It is a little scary to feel that way.

    Apparently he doesn't have faith in our anti-aircraft missiles.
