Yeah, this is my thought. The 2nd amendment is not against fighting tyranny (go read it). If that fight comes it’ll be won with gorilla warfare and explosives, not guns—at least not most of it. It’ll be utilizing fast attacks where they’re vulnerable and taking their equipment to use against them. It will not be a fair fight where you go head-to-head. You wouldn’t stand a chance.
I believe it’s fundamentally important that we keep that right to an equalizing force.
Acting like we are going to directly fight a tank with an AR-15 is either a straw man or just frankly ignorant. The US military has repeatedly been repelled by guerrilla forces with small arms, and if you have been paying any attention at all in Ukraine you will see what can be done with very little technology in terms of drones etc.
You don’t understand what happened in Vietnam or Afghanistan. At all.
If you think those guys truly defeated the US and that you with your rifle are going to do the same… I don’t even know if there’s is a point explaining it.
I would agree the US wasn’t “defeated” in the normal sense. They were ungovernable. They wear down traditional forces over a long time, and you never give them a target they can easily track.
Is it worth the amount of problems that guns brings to a country in exchange for a chance of a shooting competition against an M1 Abrams?
