You imagine some ragtag groups fighting against the police and military with the guns they bought a decade or two ago?
Personal ownership of guns doesn't help that much. You need a lot of people, a lot of organized people. At which point you can acquire or even create the weapons you need.
- ipatec 5y agoNot really. Even an unorganized small group of armed people can create enough damage to the Police/Government forces that it's not worth the fight.
- bserge 5y agoPerhaps in the past. The sheer numbers and equipment of modern police and military forces are overwhelming. You need a lot of people, good organization, support from the inside. Not to mention you'll be hit with the media first, discrediting all of your efforts and painting you as a terrorist or traitor in everyone's minds. Then you're easy pickings.
- gorwell 5y agoYou don't have to imagine, look at Afghanistan. A ragtag group of people won against the strongest military in the world.
