I’m a pacifist and don’t want to glorify violence at all but, the 'RA also was very effective at dealing with collaborators and informers. Minority rule cannot sustain itself in the long-term.
We could probably mount a pretty decent resistance with what we have available. look what happened in iraq during the occupation. insurgency would be the way to go in a rebellion against the us govt.
This response is so weird I can’t quite tell what your point is. Are you suggesting that the Iraqis resisted with small arms fire? Because that’s not the case.
More US citizens die each year in the US from guns than US soldiers died in the entirety of the Iraq war. And it’s not a small difference either - each year 4-5x as many citizens die from gun violence. Not including suicides (which would more than double the number)
So was your post trying to say the small arms resistance in Iraq was effective?
2A has been toothless for awhile. What good is stock modded AR15 supposed to do against tanks and fighters jets.
To be fair, the fighting would be guerilla warfare which the us hasn’t been that great at dealing with.
might have a tough time as a guerilla when your maga neighbors are informing on you
remember what we used to do with collaborators during the french resistance?

I used to be a pacifist too. But apparently, peaceful protests can be too easily ignored.
Takes all kinds.
It’s still good enough to shoot people who accidentally step on your lawn, or the teachers and co-students you had a disagreement with.

Exactly why I think americans who say the 2A needs to stay to overthrow a fascist government is full of shit. I would love to be proven wrong though
20 years of war, 2,459 US lives, plus about 3 months.
cough Vietnam cough
And that’s why they didn’t bother with guns in Iraq. Defeating the Americans was hopeless; mission accomplished.
