It's a nonsensical argument because the situation will never happen, but assuming that it did, citizens having guns will hold no weight against literally the most powerful military in the world. Revolutionary War Civil War Vietnam War on Terror First two reinforce my point that it was a product of its time. Government and citizens were on more even ground with their weaponry. More even ground but still not equal. Britain was on top of the world during the age of Imperialism. The colonists had to make due with what ever muskets they had on them, supplies they could pilfer from the British, and a few bones thrown to them by the French. We are talking about a group of farmers going up against the world's most powerful military. The Civil War wasn't very different by comparison. By this time the North had industrialized to the point that Union troops were on a completely different level than their European counterparts. Gatling guns and Ironclad warships didn't exist anywhere else in the world. These advancements were monopolized by the North, the Confederates didn't have access to any of these advanced weapons. Last two, if those two wars were fought with just weapons that are legal to own in the US right now they would have been over before they even started. Child bombers, rocket launchers, chemical explosives, explosives in general etc. were the bigger threats. Unless you want the average US citizen to have access to rocket launchers and IEDs lol I strongly suggest you look up what an IED is before commenting on whether or not the average US citizen has access to it. --- PSN: vyers72 FC: 0860-3464-0095 <cite>DrunkenPilot72 posted [p:888384219] in If gun own...
