Reply to comment by Temporary-Fail-2535 in medical malpractice kills 500k Americans every year, but the perceived good outways the bad, food for thought by RedModus

Ah, yes, because your rifle is a big concern to the government with its drones and tanks and nukes.

The whole “protection from the government” is nonsensical, it made sense back in the days when the government literally used the same guns as the citizens, but clearly times have changed.

There are plenty of examples in recent history of underground resistance being incredibly tough to crack. It may seem nonsensical, but people to this day are doing it very well against tanks and drones and bombs. The US has more firearms than people. People are not subdued by tanks and drones. It takes other people to actually take a foothold in some territory. I bet you can imagine how much tougher that would become against a group that was well armed and supplied, dug in, and fortified (their own backyards). I don't think it is nonsensical at all.

Have you seen a tank? How is the average American citizen going to “easily” destroy a tank? Or a flying bomber? Or a drone? Or any of the navy’s ships?

You can make propper charge with simple stuff but thats not the point gov would have to fight the ressistence and that would be very bad for bussines and production and US got other nations on its back.

I mean yes, the government would have to fight the resistance, but what’s the alternative? Give up?

I think that right to have gun is good for freedom but bad for bussines.

I think democracy is good for freedom and owning a gun has nothing to do with that

There are many countries in the world that DON’T have guns but score higher than America in terms of private liberties (freedom)
