I read about that somewhere. I know Killdozer was only stopped because he fell into a basement. Basements are tank traps.

A tank in every garage, a howitzer on every lawn, and a rifle in every hand.

Heck yeah! Just don't forget, a helicopter in every backyard and a machine gun nest on every porch.

Hmm, a tank in every garage. I like it.

I’m a man with a dream. A dream where every American is capable of unleashing fully mechanized hell on the state and the one percent. As God intended.

You act like every front porch isn't already an improvised fighting position. What, did you think those sandbags were purely for flood protection?

But of course!

Why can't all humans come together and agree to replace firearms with Nerf guns, and use the honor system whenever hit with a dart?

Home invader? Whip out a Maverick and blast him away with 6 foamy missiles, once hit they'll recognize they got tagged and lay down until the authorities arrive.

Warfare? Equip everybody with Vulcans and have them go to town. Soldiers that get hit simply raise their gun over their head and walk back to their base, the team with the most KO's wins the battle.

Political assassination? No problem. Tag your least favorite politician with your favorite Nerf gun, and they have to step down in observation of the Nerf rules.

It's simple, effective, and fun for everybody

No, but he did have reinforced concrete cab able to shrug off everything the police threw at him that had (if I remember correctly) a .50cal, Mini 14, and I believe a 308 mounted to it.

Now the M60 Patton that was stolen from an armory on the other hand in Ca State.....

But nobody would, since everybody would abide by the honor system to recognize Nerf darts as a method of settling disputes.

Boom, exactly; you took the words right out of my face. That's why both sides will abide by it, rather than just one

Either you all didn't see the sarcasm in my Nerf dart proposal or are totally unable to process it holy shit lmao

You should know that there are people dumb enough to actually propose Nerf battles in place of actual conflicts.

No, I don't know. Maybe I set my expectations a little too high for the people in this thread.

However, I will add that Nerf wars are pretty fun.

It isn't a surprise the US military complex took German firearm designs and tweaked them, however the AR platform as far as I know isn't one of those designs.

...the United States took WW2 German designs, improved them, and then we adopted them for our own military. The AR-15 was not one of those designs, as it has almost nothing in common with the MP44/STG44 other than having a detachable box magazine (the AR-15 is also semi-auto only, where as the MP44 is selective fire). Does Levine think that the US military and it’s members are “Nazis“ because they use helmets and firearms that are based off of Nazi Germany designs? Sure seems like that’s what he‘s implying.

It's funny because the bolt action rifles he'll graciously allow us to own are actual Nazi weapons...

Celebrities are self righteous pricks. Remember when they were all coming out against rape culture? Lmao it was funny when it was revealed that a tiny little town in Iowa is actually a lot tougher on rapists than Hollywood is (R kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey etc). These folks tell you how bad climate change is and then fly worldwide on a private jet every week. They're totally hypocrites and I guarantee you that levine wouldn't like it if his bodyguards were disarmed. Only the non-profit randos of society can have their guns taken away

So? The Killdozer with it's Barrett .50 cal would've been able to take on actual tanks from the 1st World War and Interwar periods.

Wouldn't surprise me that you would think a ban on private tanks have stopped people from making their own. And I didn't know drive-bys and gang shootings were committed with tanks on a regular basis.

A Bob Semple tank armed with Luty SMGs.

It will be unstoppable.

Ah the Bob Semple....The one reason why the Japanese didn't invade NZ.

WW1 tanks hull was made of essentially wet tissue paper .

Or, you know, steel. Germany didn't make the T-Gewehr just for the lulz. And my point is that WW1 era tanks don't tend to be rolling around the streets these days. They're museum pieces, or buried under some French farmer's turnips. What does it matter if a modern anti-materiel rifle could poke holes in a WW1 era tank when the Killdozer was never going to find a WW1 era tank to poke holes in?
