Fox: Americans Need Assault Weapons To Protect Themselves From An Iranian Invasion, Al Qaeda

[appleannie1]

During a roundtable discussion on Friday, Fox News’ Lou Dobbs agreed with a network contributor who argued that Americans need to access military-style assault weapons to protect themselves from an Iranian invasion.
“What scares the hell out of me we have a president, as we were discussing during break, that wants to take away our guns, but yet he wants to attack Iran and Syria. So if they come and attack us here, we don’t have the right to bear arms under this Obama administration,” Angela McGlowan, a former lobbyist for News Corp., said in the midst of a conversation about violence in Syria.
Dobbs quickly agreed, adding, “we’re told by Homeland Security that there are already agents of Al Qaeda here working in this country. Why in the world would you not want to make certain that all American citizens were armed and prepared? ” Watch it:

They get crazier and more asinine by the day.

1. Red Dawn Scenario?

2. I don't think the Iranian navy could deliver enough troops to our shores ...

to pose a significant problem.

Al Qaeda terrorist tend to blow themselves up. That tactic somewhat limits their ability to take charge and rule our nation.

Assault style semi-automatic rifles are useful for target shooting, hunting and in rural areas for self defense. It may be possible that they would be somewhat useful in overthrowing a far future tyrannical government should one try to take charge but I feel that it would be extremely difficult for any individual to gain enough power in our nation to become a dictator. Gaining control of American citizens is a lot like herding cats.
