I don't really know how many people actually believe opinion two. I mean, it made sense back in the 18th century but our government has aircraft carriers and nukes now. It seems to be more of a talking point with the real reasons for gun ownership being self defense and recreation.

To be fair, a lot of the military weaponry being used against civilians is assuming that everyone in the armed forces is going to side with the government in a tyrannical gov't scenario. I've read a few articles where people talk about it and they say that the biggest things that would be used are tanks but even it's a bit of a reach to say that semi-auto could keep up... But yeah, nowadays? You'd probably need a good 1/3 to 1/2 of the military abandoning their post and siding w/ civilians. Cus like, if the military/govt goes rogue then them destroying cities won't exactly be good.. Also I'd imagine Russia or something would either supply arms to civilians, or use the divide as a chance to try taking over.

Arguing with and trying to be smart with the cops almost never improves your situation.

Also this. It's the equivalent of unnecessarily arguing with your teachers when they're already suspicious of you doing something wrong and then wondering why you got a week of detention instead of just staying after class for 10 min.
