do you really think small arms will do anything to the police or army?
the seccond amendment was created when a gun was a gun, civilians had one, the army had one and the army just was a bit more orderly about it.
This is a flawed argument. Hell yes they would do something against the army.
Population of the US is nearly 300 million people. If say 1/4th of those are males of fighting age, and just 1% of those have the balls to take up arms, then that is a force of 750,000 men. Add to the fact that the military will be wary to use heavy munitions on its on soil, and you'll see that there is a very good chance that an insurrection would do something to the army.
Look how much trouble an even smaller insurrection is giving our military in Iraq.
sure they would give it what they have but they just cant win
Just look at Iraq..bunch of rag tag folks with zero industrial capability giving us hell..so scared we can't even go in certain area.
Americans would be far far worse. We have chemicals, machining equipment and know how to make weapons to rival our militray not to mention hundreds of thousands of guns, and most importantly hunting rifles (sniper and goes right though any body armour). Lastly we have hiding places. Not a desert like shooting ducks in a barrel in iraq but forrests, swaps and other escapable terrain. If you doubt the importance of terrian I encourage you to google "winter war" how a couple hundred Finns killed divisons of Russians.
