US Gun Laws

[Docfeelgood]

Outrage!? A bunch of whackos held out at the aptly named Waco and all died - frankly they were useless to society so death was the best thing for them - not to mention saving the US taxpayer a ton of money!

You don't really mean that.
There was children there.

Hijacking tankers? Gasoline, or other noxious chemicals? Either way, congrats, you just bought yourself a crap-ton of Federal attention. They might have assumed a guy ganking a big rig was just high or an escaped convict or what-have-you. Stealing a tanker is like yelling "HEY WHAT UP I'M PLANNING SOME CRAZY VIOLENT **** OVER HERE" on a megaphone. Only more so.

The Mad Monk has provided more than enough information on these forums for any federal agent to identify him. With words like BOMB THREATS and ASSASSINATE FEDERAL WORKERS appearing along his militant anti-government stance, guns aren't going to save him when the **** hits the fan. The truth is, the only reason the crazies get away with these kinds of incidents is because they aren't predictably stupid.

A pointless, amateurish complication. You just took it from "stolen vehicle" to "stolen vehicle + missing person," on the grounds that stealing both makes it somehow less likely to attract attention. The guy could escape (you're going to have to kill him eventually, or else set him free), he could be packing himself, any number of things could go wrong. The whole idea is just bad.

Not if you use the truck right away.

Waco is a whole different topic.
Wanna start a thread?

[Al B. Sure!]

Because that had little to do. When Che went to try the same thing in Bolivia, and lacked popular support, he was rotundly unsuccessful.

The difference? The support, or lack of, the majority of the country's (un-armed) population.

So there we go...

A small number of lightly-armed revolutionaries with the general support of the population overthrew a nation's government and defeated its military equipped with tanks and aircraft in the late 50's.

Isn't that the example Elok was looking for?

You're such a sweetheart.

Eat sh!t and live happy you turd!

Meh, no biggie.

Um, we were talking about stealing supplies such as fertilizer and pipes, which presumptively do not come pre-assembled into pipe-bomb form. I guess if you're going to be using a tanker as a primitive bomb, the swiping could work, sort of, provided the tanker blows up the second it hits an obstacle like in the movies. Also, provided you can jump out of a moving tanker, roll and shake it off like in the movies. Even then, the driver's just going to get in the way, and if you're going to "use it right away" in that sense it kinda doesn't matter if he told the authorities it was stolen, they'll prolly notice it was stolen when it detonates at Ft. Wherever. Actually, come to think of it, I have no idea what you're suggesting here.

Ten minutes without a post? Why isn't anyone posting?

DaShi killed it, didn't he.

DaShi, you thread killer!

I got bored and became too involved with a game of what-if?

Arnt you supose to go up with the big boom.

[Elok]

Fair enough. In conclusion, you need legally sold small arms to start a successful revolution because...?

Arnt you supose to go up with the big boom.

I think it depends which action movie you consult. Ah-nuld survived Predator, and that sucker was nuclear.
