      "Nobody needs guns because we'd never become a tyranny & you can trust the cops," say people who've spent the last 13 months telling us the current President is a tyrant & the cops are dangerous racists.

      Not sure how citizens with firearms check government tyranny in the 21st century. Americans who have taken up arms against the United States in the post-WWII era were overwhelmed by the FBI. The US military's not afraid of them. Tanks, jets, missiles, drones, etc. >>> AR-15s.

          Why would a hypothetical tyranny that's so terrible Americans take up arms against it follow the law? (Also, that law applies to civilian law enforcement, not responding to armed revolution. But still, the first point holds).

          The argument is in bad faith, a true civil war would involve factions of the military breaking off. We have hundreds of examples over last 150 years, he gets his jollies pretending to be an intellectual on Twitter

          Agreed, a true civil war would involve factions of the military breaking off. That's why individual civilians with guns doesn't do anything to deter government tyranny.

          Yes, I was agreeing with you. Civilians don't need military weapons, hunting rifles and maybe shotguns is about as much as a reasonable person would need and even about 85 percent of the population would be fine without even those

          Google Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam wars. Then get back to me on that. Keep in mind the political leanings of people in the military as well.

          Really, then why does the deep state want our guns so bad?

          You wrongly assume that police and the military would be united behind an oppressive government. It would not.

          There is a tipping point. Some civilian insurgencies have succeeded when military personnel have joined the fight. If things get bad enough, it can happen. Not wishing for it though. The odds of a succeeding govt being as benign as the 1789 one are small.

          I guess you'd have to look to Afghanistan for a clue.

          Can a drone stand on a street corner at 3 AM to enforce a curfew? Can an APC kick in a door to enact an illegal search? Can a jet enforce an assembly ban? Do you truly believe that the US military will even consider taking arms against their own? Are you really this deluded?

          Dan reminded me of that Bugs Bunny scene where one comes out with a tonite and then other come out with a bigger knife.
