    Texas should just say “Guns”.

    North Dakota should probably be “no civilization, no resources, and no warmth.”

      Hey now, we have some resources. Like… uh… hotdish?

        And it’s tatertot hot dish!

        Can imagine the delaying tactics that a classic Minnesotan long goodbye would cause to an invading military? You could cause delays of up to several hours just saying goodbye!

          I’ll start a few more wars, then.

          Red hotdish or white hotdish?

          Does corn belong in hotdish?

          Do the tots go on the bottom or on the top?

            Anything but plain cream of mushroom soup is a vile heathen concoction.

            Corn or string-beans are fine. Anything else is sacrilege.

            You put those tater tots ANYWHERE but in top, I will personally drive to your house and stare at you with passive/aggressive looks while I call your Mother!

          No, that would require a cave, which implies the existence of interesting geological features.

            Which are reserved for South Dakota and Montana.

            North Dakota explicitly gets nothing. I’m pretty sure it’s in the constitution.

      You could just write “Fargo” over ND to get the point across.

        Does it really have oil?

        And I know it’s got a fuckton of missile silos but I imagine in an invasion they aren’t terribly useful. I guess maybe an after you take complete control then it is

      Civilian Marksmanship Program. It was a program designed to sell cheap obsolete military rifles, pistols, and ammunition to civilians to shoot target competitions with. It still exists today, though the supply of cheap surplus firearms has dwindled significantly. They never sell machine guns or assault rifles either.

      The program arose at the end of WW2 because the US army discovered that the US is not a “Nation of Marksmen” but mostly a motley collection of “city slickers” that didn’t know one end of a rifle from the other. Let alone actually shoot well enough to hit anything. It was taking too long to train recruits to use a firearm properly.

      All you had to do was join a CMP approved target shooting club and shoot a set number of sanctioned matches to qualify to purchase a refurbished M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, 1903 Springfield, or 1911A1 pistol for very little money. It cost me $200US for a “Rack Grade” M1 Garand back in the day. And for the longest time there was no need for an FFL transfer either. The CMP would mail the firearm directly to your home.

      To get to Colorado means getting past Mormons, the cartel, machine gun enthusiasts, armed farmers, and backcountry hunters(militia should also be a concern in that area). Colorado is quite well defended by topography and neighbors that they might as well just stay high and chill.

      Coloradans are fit, enjoy difficult hunting in bad terrain, know how to maneuver off road vehicles, are naturally trained at high altitudes, generally have good survival skills, and includes a large population of active or former military.

      Not to mention, the Rockies stretch the entire length of the State.

      They’re a good candidate for the Final Boss.

        We’ve also got DTC for a tech-heavy defense and a lot of aerospace and military (Colorado Springs)…I’m liking the Final Boss idea.

        I don’t disagree with the off-road vehicle comment, it’s the on-road vehicles that seem to be the problem here.

      And I’m not so sure about coastal Northern California / Southern Oregon. It’s marked on the map as being not that difficult. But I believe there are still plenty of paranoid, heavily-armed pot growers up in that area.

        There he goes. One of God’s own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.

    As someone who lives in the “wouldn’t be that tough.” That’s big talk for someone who likely doesn’t want to spend their last moments desperately clawing at the roof of a pine box.

      Plenty do. The thought that democrats don’t have guns is a stereotype. Being pro gun control and being a responsible gun owner are compatible.

      Democrats have guns. They just don’t worship their guns, display them like phallic symbols, or make a big deal of having them like conservative nutsos do. So there’s a ridiculous stereotype that Democrats don’t have guns and want to take guns away that conservative nutsos use to terrify their base into voting against responsible gun ownership laws.
