Afganistan caused the US plenty of problems with 70 year old bolt actions and at best 1 gun per 16 people and a tiny fraction of the population fighting. Claiming the US population couldn't successfully work as an insurgency against its military is naive, especially when they have direct access to US logistics and economy.
replyAmericans are getting executed on the streets, ran by corrupt pedophiles, and their taxes are being funneled to the rich in the open. Where's the insurgency?
replySo is your problem with people having guns is they aren't reactionary enough or shooting at police or military yet? If that was happening im pretty sure most people right now would be screaming about terrorists shooting at cops and politicians more than they would be joining up with the insurgency.
replyBullets flying is a last resort and you should be thankful for that, not bemoaning it.
"We have the guns to keep the state in check but we won't actually do that because that's bad so instead lets keep shooting each other and show off our cool guns".
replyI am not advocating for an insurgency. I am pointing out that it won't happen because that's not why gun owners own guns. Despite the claims of noble ideals.
