Is this not the reason the second amendment exists? Regards An Australian Edit: I’m not advocating for violence. More so “a well regulated militia” which could be established by protesters or Democratic Governors for genuine self defence.

    Can you name me the last war that America won against a committed population armed with small arms?

    I can’t. Because it’s never happened.

        Why? If the population here was as committed as a population overseas I hardly see what the difference is, besides the fact that Americans are way better armed.

          Americans are stupid enough to have put all their personal information into facebook and wouldn’t know how to organize without a billionaire fascist’s big brother app.

          A military fighting on their own soil is going to be much stronger infrastructure- and intelligence-wise vs. if they’re fighting on foreign soil

            I mean you know that literally all of those wars had collaborators. Entire collaborationist states, in large part. It didn’t help South Vietnam.
