On_The_Edge 10/04/17 10:27:02 PM #45:	Nobody legitimately believes that the armed populace can beat the fucking military in a fight, don't strawman. It would not come down to the full might of the military against the populace, and if it did, the populace would obviously lose, because the US military is the most powerful military force in the entire world. But there are stages of conflict before that in which an armed populace would pose a potent threat to the encroaching government. Tyranny can't really get a foot in the door when the populace is armed as it is. Anyway, even if we imagine that it goes from 0 to 100 immediately, don't you at least want to retain some remote fucking chance of resisting?
