Educate yourself on the history of revolts and how they shaped the current geopolitical map before you continue to embarrass youself.
The argument that the people should forfeit their most powerful weapon simply because the government has created other limited-use weapons, such as bombs, tanks and aircraft, fails to logically follow. Essentially, you’re arguing that because we’re now less powerful as a citizenry, we should go ahead and sacrifice all remaining power to the state.
no, i'm arguing that your wet 'armed citizenry resistance' dreams are completely unrealistic and blatantly ignore the political and societal realities of our times.
you know what is much more likely than heroic americans successfully overthrowing their oppressive government with their precious ar-15s? unstable and gun crazy idiots killing their fellow countrymen by the tens of thousands each year. you guys are so tribal and divided that it's a hundred times more likely you will fight each other in a civil war over race, religion, and political affiliation than it is that you unite against your imaginary terror state.
hell, most of you gun crazy hillbillies would and DID support the infringement of your freedoms without any protest to speak of, and will do it gladly again if just the 'others' get hit a little bit harder.
if anything, your guns are being used against you to further that divide between the lower classes and control you with fear and violence - while ironically giving you the illusion of 'freedom' and 'power'. why do you think your cops are so trigger happy? sure, they are badly trained, but they also know that every american could be a potentially lethal threat - because every moron has a gun, and the worst of them are naive little gun romantics like you, dreaming of being the hero, the good guy with a gun who will save the day, completely oblivious to the fact that they are statistically making their direct environment, family, and themselves much more unsafe with their delusions...
