The Taliban seem to be holding their own, as did the Viet Cong before them, and if the US government is willing to nuke its own people we're beyond screwed.

- scarface74 9y agoThat's the definition of "tyrannical rule". I'm not saying it's realistic to think that the government would go that far, but it's equally unrealistic to think that a few people with guns running around in the forest is going to be a match against the largest military in the world. The Taliban has brainwashed people to think that they are dying to serve God and they and the VietCong had home court advantage. I don't think people who claimed to be "revolutionaries" in the US are that committed.
- the_trapper 9y ago> the VietCong had home court advantage Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't an American insurgency have the same thing going for it? Do you really believe that the entire military would just follow orders and obliterate their countrymen? It didn't exactly play out like that 150 years ago. Also, ignoring the whole rogue tyrannical government turning on its citizens thing for a moment, does a person not have the inalienable right to appropriate means to defend oneself? The criminals will continue to have guns no matter what laws get passed to "just do something about gun violence" and law enforcement proved that they cannot be relied upon to protect us from this villainy.
