What good can a handgun do against an army?

Well, the question was, what good is a handgun againstan army? Look at the Warsaw Ghetto as an example. The jews trapped inside the ghetto had exactly 6 handguns, so the history goes. They used them to shoot German soldiers and took over their guns and ammo. It would really be interesting to see just how long they would have held out if the Germans had not bombed and shelled the ghetto into rubble. IIRC, while they may have been wiped out, they made it damned costly on the Germans.

Look at what happened to the Russians in Afghanistan when fighting the Muhagadeen (sp) They were doing a pretty fair job of holding their own and we all know how fiercely the Afghans cling to their guns.
Look how the VC forught their guerrilla war aganst us, or how the muzzies are making it difficult for us in Iraq and Afghanistan.

As well armed as the American populace is, they could make "Big Brother" very uncomfortable, possibly enough that he would seek terms, not that I'd trust him any farther than I could pick up an Abrams tank and throw it.

As uncomfortable as the thought of having to do this is, maybe we all should take stock, seriously think about what Obama and his traitorist communist cohorts are doing, and prepare for the worst.
