Nor can you be armed in the same manner as US citizens. Laws are not independent of each other, so your thought experiment doesn't work.

True enough. But once a populus is armed, if enough of them are willing to fight the government, the numbers win. It's one cop to 1000 civs

1000 civilians armed with regular munitions are no match for an Apache attack helicopter.

Possibly, but the lesson of Afghan is that an insurgency is hard to put down, even with huge firepower. Requires the will to kill civilians

If there's no will to kill civilians, the govt wouldn't attack them in the first place.

We're arguing the hypothetical, but the real issue in the US is that removing the firearm totally simply disarms the law abiding only.

The issue is that they don't need to be armed. All the developed nations that don't have armed populaces prove that.

But if they were never armed, that would be fine. Europeans rarely held personal weapons. America is not like Europe. How do you remove them

Gradually tightening gun laws. Would probably take a few generations, but it's certainly possible.
