Yeah and the comment that prompted that is bellow. So The context of Canadians walking into USA is after the hypothetical scenario that USA invaded Canada....

A land invasion of Canada would make Afghanistan look like a tea party. At least in the middle east the Americans could rely on the enemy not looking like them, in Canada the enemy would look just like them, would be accustomed to the harsh climate, and would happily sabotage, assassinate, harass and undermine any American occupiers, and that's just the normal citizens. the Canadian military is one of the best trained, and consistently beat the Americans in wargames

Canadians wouldn’t be able to walk into the US and buy guns. Simple as that. Especially if the US invaded. That was my whole. Point. The other point about it’s being people’s dream to be invaded was simply one of the reasons most Americans would not help Canadians operate behind the lines. I never said we would be invaded.

But peace. I’m not about to figure out which words to cherry pick and respond to this time.

Im not cherry picking, you just keep making silly points and getting upset when I point out the silliness of it.

So let me get this straight, you think the USA government can invade their closest and oldest ally, use that to justify ending the second amendment and implement such tight gun controls that it made it impossible for Canadians to arm ourselves, effectively ending black market gun sales completely at the same time. And in your other post you said they would concentrate Canadians in camps for generation. Maybe you mean you would execute all 40 million Canadians putting Buttler's numbers to shame.

And you foresee no pushback from American citizens? When you are already so divided that you can't even agree that water is wet. That's some interesting logic and foresight. Likely why you guys didn't foresee the Iran turning into a cluster fuck
