I've always wondered why there were never any wars on American soil besides the Civil War. Yes, you can count the bombing of Hawaii but, the Japanese did it by air. They didn't have the balls to come and fight us on the ground. So any ways, the reason why people don't step on our soil is because America has the 2nd Amendment, which is the right to bear arms. The United States citizens could kill any foreign soildier that tries to terrorize our streets. See, the citizens in Iraq can barely do anything to protect themselves because their country would NEVER let them bear arms. NEVER. So, that's why America is indestructible. Who can beat a country where millions of it's citizens have their own weapons? Just imagine American soldiers in the streets of New Orleans killing Iraqi soldiers while American Citizens with their shotguns are also killing Iraqi soldiers that try to threaten them.

Any other countries in the world that allows their citizens to bear arms? I'm not sure?

Or maybe because it would be piss hard to invade... You could go through Canada or Mexico but I doubt either country would let another army walk on through without a fight. And you can't exactly take a strong military force through either the Pacific or Atlantic without being noticed.

^ Yes it's because we have very good defences. Besides, nobody has the BALLS to invade us. They would get owned.

I don't think that's the reason, but now that I think about it 300 million people and 270 million guns in the U.S.

Almost our whole country could become a fighting force in a homeland conflict.

Or maybe it's geographic isolation, combined with most of our adversaries lacking strong navies. Just a thought.

And the British, who did have a strong Navy, invaded in the War of 1812.

you forgot to mention the revolutionary war. The 2nd amendment has nothing to do with why they dont come over here. Its because our military defenses are so strong they simply could not make a stand, it would be commiting suicide. Thats why when they try something they have to do in small secret groups. 9/11 for example.

I don't think foreign armies are afraid of Joe Schmoe attacking them since they'd most likely bomb the hell out of a place before going in on foot. You'd be sitting on your porch with a shotgun waiting for an army as bombs fall overhead...Foreign armies don't care about civilians. They just get in the way.

You couldn't be more wrong. Back when Washington was unanimously voted the president of the US, he ordered a clan of highly-trained voodoo doctors to cast a protective shield over the country. Go ahead, look it up.

I've always wondered why there were never any wars on American soil besides the Civil War. Yes, you can count the bombing of Hawaii but, the Japanese did it by air. They didn't have the balls to come and fight us on the ground. So any ways, the reason why people don't step on our soil is because America has the 2nd Amendment, which is the right to bear arms. The United States citizens could kill any foreign soildier that tries to terrorize our streets. See, the citizens in Iraq can barely do anything to protect themselves because their country would NEVER let them bear arms. NEVER. So, that's why America is indestructible. Who can beat a country where millions of it's citizens have their own weapons?

I believe it was the British who did it through Canada. But part of Canada was in the Empire at this time so there may have been both Canadians and British.

I was thinking it was more because it would be kind of hard to stage a sea invasion without support from all the way in Europe and Asia and all the other countries in the Americas are either friends or too weak to do anything. Your idea is just crazy enough to start a 10 page discussion though.

That is why I cherish my right as a citizen to own a weapon. And no, many countries prohibit them. Besides Switzerland, it is near useless trying to own a weapon unless you live on a farm, which few do. Second Amendment for the win!!!!

Pretty much. We have a massive navy that can be quickly deployed almost anywhere in the world. And with onboard nuclear reactors, these ships have almost unlimited range.

The War of 1812 was one of America's most shameful defeats. Canada, at the time, was basically a politcally devided nation of farmers with only a handful of British soldiers to keep order. The American Army that invaded Canada in 1812 was several times larger then the entire British and Canadian force defending it, and yet the Yankees were repelled with heavy losses and American morale dropped to nearly zero. Washington and the White House were burned to the ground and most of America's border forts in the northern areas were captured. The only battles that could be called major American victories were the Battle of New Orleans (which doesn't really count considering an armistice had already been signed when the battle took place) and the Battle on the Great Lakes.

I think anyone capable of defeating the world's largest navy, the world's largest and most advanced airforce, and a large highly trained army equipped with the best weapons and supplies isn't too worried about the 2nd Amendment.

Yep, after taking on F22 Raptors, F15 Strike Eagles, B2 & B1 bombers, M1A1 main battle tanks, Multiple Launch Rocket Artillery, a couple dozen army and marine divisions, nuclear powered carriers and subs....the invading force is gonna be stopped by citizens with pistols, semi-auto rifles, and shotguns........yah......right.

The TC's reasoning to why America hasn't been invaded in the last 100 years is laughable at best.
Think about it, how on earth would you be able to move a huge army accross the pacific ocean without being detected?
You can't.

You should stock up then. That's really not that much ammo. I have nearly that much .308 alone.
