Lots of conservatives are gullible so they just don't know any better.

I always felt liberals should be more for guns. A lot of them complain (rightfully so) about corrupt police and government, but will be against guns and even be smart assey towards the idea of rebelling against a tyrannical government. I'd rather have a slim chance than none.

It's a bad argument all around and is just more proof that the second amendment was truly a product of its time and needs to be revised.

You're crazy to think that the US government will ever get to the point of tyranny when it's more likely that our government would shut down over a dispute on what they're having for lunch. 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.

You are a very dishonest individual.

1) It's possible. Free societies can turn into fascist ones at the drop of a hat.

2) It's better to have a chance than no chance. Otherwise things like this happen:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/11/world/asia/rohingya-myanmar-atrocities.html

3) The entire military would not be functional and whole if there was civil war. A lot of it would fracture.

4) Guerrilla warfare is effective, even when the opposing force has much better technology. See: Vietnam, North Korea, Syria, Afghanistan, etc.

5) Sorry not sorry, it's a right.

1) Which free societies that had a government that resembled America's has become fascist?

2) US citizens having guns against the US military is still having "no chance"

3) Doubtful. Fighting for the military would guarantee safety, money, and your freedoms. Wouldn't be the first example of members of a military killing their own family in defense of their country.

4) Those countries don't have a military that could hold a candle to the US military. Shit would be shut down real quick.

5) a right that was imagined hundreds of years ago when the technology was primitive. Needs to be revised for the modern age.

Real life isn't a movie. US citizens would have no chance.

The US military is comprised of US citizens. It's probable a large portion would not engage in warfare against private citizens. Not to mention that it's better than having no defense whatsoever. When you have no defense whatsoever, this happens:

The Civil War proves that you're wrong and that it's not as black and white as that. The US military wouldn't be a full capacity single entity fighting against some small band of resistance.

How relevant a right is does not depend on when it was conceived. Gay marriage isn't going to stop being something we're all entitled to just because 1,000 years have passed in 3,017. It's a right, sorry not sorry.

You are ignoring a lot of history and current events if you really think an armed population isn't a deterrent for tyranny and corruption. And as such you're a complete waste of my time. But pls keep on demonstrating your deep ignorance and dishonesty, it's entertaining.

Where were the gun owners in the antebellum south? Where were the gun owners in the Jim Crow south? Where were the gun owners when Japanese-Americans were put into internment camps? Where were the gun owners after Kent State? Where were they after the MOVE bombing?

I'm ambivalent regarding the second amendment, but I don't place any stock into the "defense against tyranny" argument. Tyrants divide and conquer; a unified front against that is unlikely, and particularly so in this country.

The Civil War literally happened. The Revolutionary War literally happened. To say that there's no chance of people unifying against tyranny and oppression is to be willfully dishonest about what happened in America's history and what has happened in other parts of the world.

To list examples of oppression just proves that there are times when people are oppressed by their government. If only the government is allowed to have weapons, this happens:

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/06/22/key-takeaways-on-americans-views-of-guns-and-gun-ownership/

You lot should agree with yourselves what you even believe. On the one hand, we have babby orangutan trying to argue his little soundbyte schpiels about Trump, on the other hand we have SmashedPumkins trying to argue that it's never going to happen and that if it were to happen Americans would have no chance.

You lot represent an opposition that is internally inconsistent and incoherent, and I have no further desire to interact with a group of people who aren't in agreement and who are offering pathetically weak arguments. Thanks but no thanks, pls fuck off.

You're all saying I'm wrong, but your reasoning why is inconsistent with the other supposed reasons why I'm wrong. As a group you're internally inconsistent and incoherent.

The Revolutionary War and Civil War were citizens standing up to tyranny. In both cases it was average people banding together to fight back. The same would happen in modern day America if a tyrant tried to take over and consolidate power.

First two reinforce my point that it was a product of its time. Government and citizens were on more even ground with their weaponry.

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

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.

pls posted...
Where did the armed forces get its soldiers from? The citizenry

Was it the citizens who decided to fight that war, or the government? Did the second amendment allow people to rise up autonomously against the Confederacy, or did the government conscript them into service?

The military could just blockade a city or area.

Shut their water and power down.

Block any new resources of any type going into the area.
