If I was going to stand by the 2nd amendment, this would be why. The problem is that weapons are too advanced now. Some dude’s AR-15 is not going to stop a tank.
The only thing the 2nd amendment does now is let people hunt and murder children at school.
As someone who would have agreed with you this time last year, my new AR-15 may not stop a tank, but it can slow down the anonymous gestapo if they try to abduct my neighbors and loved ones.
Also, like, its really hard to fight insurgencies, even when they're going up against superior firepower.
